It has been a great few days in Belfast with the newly elected Cabinet. Thank you @PoliceServiceNI for hosting us and I am confident we have the team and plan in place to help @NBPAUK support members, policing and the communities we come from for years to come
2023 has been a difficult and divisive year but here is hoping that 2024 will bring a more prosperous, cohesive & inclusive year in which we all focus on the things that unite us! Look forward to working with our members, communities and the wider policing family in 2024 @NBPAUK
