Just left Tesco. Handwritten note on the windscreen of my patrol car. '£100 fine for shopping on duty'. If only I could tell the person who wrote it that I have just spent the last 7 hours at the sudden death of a baby. I'd bought a sandwich. We're not robots. #BeKind#WoundUp

We've been told today to remove our #ThinBlueLine patches from our body armour as it may cause offence. I will not be removing mine & my staff won't either. Us bobbies all know what that patch means, and we remember our colleagues who made the ultimate sacrifice. ❤️🇬🇧
@Brick_Cop @ChSupt_IanDS @metpoliceuk Think quite sadly BC, most only appear once a year for their response policing week photo op. Appreciate all ranks are abnormally busy but completely agree with you, they should make time.
@Brick_Cop@metpoliceuk It was nice BC wasn't it, was, being the operative word. Something has to give, the country isn't the country it was. Not saying arm us all, but meeting lethal force with a taser or baton in 2024 is insane. Our colleague is lucky taser worked & deserves a medal for her bravery.
Shift worker, tired, how do you know?... Well you have 8 hours between your shifts and proceed to spray shaving foam under your arms instead of deodorant, that's how. Send coffee. 🙈🙃🚔☕️
Can we please start giving OBE's, MBE's, KPM'S etc to nurses, police officers, paramedics, firefighters, teachers, RNLI..... People who genuinely go above and beyond and make a difference in the world.
@NJB781 'You're a racist gang member for wearing them badges'. I won't repeat what he said about the military/soldiers, so yeah, was definitely about both.
I was called a 'racist gang member' at a job last night for having the thin blue line badge and my poppy pin on my body armour. I genuinely do not recognise the place I grew up in and began my policing career in anymore. #LestWeForget#ThinBlueLine
