The first police force in the British Isles (1798) were the Thames River Police. Set up by the "West Indian Merchants" to protect "their" goods produced by the blood & labour of enslaved Africans from being "stolen" by the London poor.
Our STUDENT VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR WINNER is Sophie Quinn! Nominated by @Sharon_TLC @strive for her work supporting families affected by domestic disruption. Sharon commented “Sophie goes above & beyond, bringing new ideas to the team & taking everything in her stride”. Congrats!
