It was an honour:
To serve the Queen one last time.
To be 1 of only 30 @MPSSpecials wearing a Tunic today.
To be posted in such an iconic and critical location.
To now serve the King.
To be a part of such an emotional & historic event.

@BadJokesSteve Better than nothing I guess, but not what it’s being sold as 😆
Definitely helpful if you’ve had your phone snatched and need to ring 999 to report it 😬
Are there actually police officers using these boxes or are they simply empty boxes with some stickers on them?
The wording of all of makes me think it’s the latter - in which case it’s no more of a deterrent than the cardboard cutout PCs you see at the likes of B&M
Today we launch our Safer City Streets initiative.
To mark the launch, we have unveiled a network of newly branded police boxes across the Square Mile, each featuring police officers who patrol the square mile on foot and bike.

@garethashmoreSB We do.
Unless it’s recently changed, if we’re unable to continue with our day jobs due to an injury suffered on duty, we get paid whatever a PC with the equivalent length of service would - there are obviously time limits to this but that’s no different to any other job.

Our brave officers confronted a man they believed to be a terrorist, who refused to show his hands, who was violent, and who continued to pose a clear threat. Using only their training, courage and tasers, they detained him while he continued to try to attack and stab them. This took true courage.
Not that it’ll make difference to those that don’t let the truth ruin a good story, this is a perfect example of why we need a national standardised police uniform (within reason)
@cynicalbobby@obbsie My force has just introduced mandatory single crewed. No matter the staffing levels. No doubly crewed cars at all across the force.
1 appointment car per area with instructions not to deviate, told they will have to explain to command team if they divert to a red button.
A moment during a quiet day shift for @MPSCamden & Islington officers 🚔 Quiet if you ignore the arrest of a male for knife point robbery 🔪...and the intelligence led crime prevention patrols 🔎...and the assistance given with volatile prisoners. Just another quiet day shift...
@AchingRat Imagine the next step will be to use playback on a flight radar apps and see if NPAS were within a 10 mile radius on the off chance it was potentially in view
Today the City of London Police Domestic Corruption Unit made arrests in connection with a criminal investigation into allegations of fraud made against three individuals connected to the national Police Federation of England and Wales (PFEW).

@AJewishCopper We had a short form in the met which took a couple of minutes at most, now it’s a full connect record which also requires us to offload and attach BWV clips from the stop to the record - something you can’t do until your camera is docked.
It’s as long as a stop and search record
London has 1,460 fewer officers than a year ago - so what better time to introduce new mandatory paperwork for every time an officer dares to stop a vehicle...
What an absolute waste of time.
It will make policing less productive.
It will make London less safe.
