Bow Street saw a number of protestors and campaigners pass through its doors, not least Suffragettes who campaigned for the women’s vote. They were often heard in the Magistrates’ Court on the charge of breaching the peace. #MuseumsUnlocked #protest

Our favourite visitor to the checksite today. Parents brought nine year old Archie down to say hello to us. He's watched every episode of Traffic Cops and wants to join the police. Just another nine years and he can get his application in. #ProjectEDWARD #Boniface #Community

Back in a different world .... 23rd September 1949, and the last post horse in #London, Peter, leaves the General Post Office in the City of London.

7th September 1940, WWII, and the #Blitz begins. Several @citypolicecops would loose their lives in the bombing; Bishopsgate, Cloak Lane and Snow Hill police stations would take direct hits, while Moor Lane station and its surrounding Division would be laid to waste #OTD

What a privilege it has been for me to attend today’s Graduation Parade. I know these fine young soldiers have come through some challenging times recently but they have done so well and I am very excited for what lies ahead for them #TomorrowWillBeAGoodDay
