We’ve got a GoFundMe started for the families of PC Matthew Blades and PC Tom Clough.

Now we’re asking the policing family and wider public to come together and give whatever you can.

Every donation, no matter how small, would be appreciated.

We will liaise with Cleveland Police to ensure the funds raised are distributed appropriately to the officers’ families.

Please give what you can and just as importantly, please share.

Here's another one that I've always liked. Indeed it's been my profile banner for many years 😉

[Police Federation of England and Wales @PFEW_HQ]

🚨 New data reveals a widespread failure by police forces to monitor officer working hours – raising serious concerns that some chiefs could be law breaking.

26 forces told the Police Federation they cannot provide basic working-time data. Some say they hold none at all.

Rugby players are drawn to physicality and chaos. It doesn’t matter if you are a posh boy or off the streets of Cov. That’s the leveller. That’s the feeling. That’s the sport. Chaos. Beautiful chaos. 🖤

[Police Federation of England and Wales @PFEW_HQ]

.@Channel4News revealed at least 100 police officers and staff have died by suicide in three years. The real number is likely higher.

Officers face relentless trauma, but support is inconsistent. Recording suicides must become mandatory.

Today matters. Not for balloons or hashtags, but because men in policing and the wider emergency services are still dying in silence. We lose police officers every year, often without any warning, and the impact is felt forever by those left behind.

If you know the job, you know the truth. It is extremely unlikely that you will finish a full career without a phone call telling you that someone you worked with has taken their own life. Some officers will even hear that tragic news more than once. The grief will stay with you for life.

Policing is heavy. The workload, the trauma, the uncertainty, and the constant belief that you should cope because everyone else is struggling as well. Then, add the growing pressure of lengthy PSD/DPS investigations that drag on for months or even years. Careers, reputations and families are placed - and left - in limbo.

Simply put, bad cops need removing. No one disputes that. But when good cops are suspended for years over matters that would see a criminal suspect dealt with and in court in less than half the time, something is seriously wrong. Some officers clear criminal allegations, walk out of court with no case to answer, and still have to begin a misconduct process that can go on for years. That lack of proportionality is breaking good people.

Even PSD and DPS staff are caught up in the same storm. They get a bad reputation by default, but many of them are simply honest cops doing an impossible job with far too many cases and far too few resources. They can't apply common sense and make quick decisions because the system doesn't allow them to. Does that sound familiar?

Here's the part that matters most.

Men in policing hide distress well. Sometimes too well. But if you're a police officer, you're trained to spot when things don't look right. You know when someone is off. If you notice a colleague go quiet, pull away, or simply not seem themselves, just ask the question. A simple, genuine conversation can be the difference between someone coping and someone giving up.

Look out for each other. It is not a slogan. It is survival.

We know that many people will read this quietly and never comment, but it might be the post that gets them through the day.

Below is a verified list of organisations for anyone who needs support. You are never on your own. There is always someone available, no matter the hour.

[Chinook Crew Chick @chinnychick]

Please remember that the first sign that our mental health is suffering isn't a suicide attempt,
and it isn't an emotional breakdown.
It begins quietly.
Soft changes that we often ignore.
It starts with waking up exhausted
-even after sleeping for hours.
It shows up in struggling to get out of bed, losing interest in things we once enjoyed, and feeling a heavy lack of motivation.
Sometimes it looks like not having an appetite, or battling constant gut issues, skin breakouts,
and a sudden drop in energy.
For others, it comes as a decreased libido, feeling lost or stuck,
or slowly disconnecting from the world around us.
There may be brain fog that makes simple tasks feel overwhelming,
fatigue that follows you everywhere, irritability you can't explain,
or self-sabotaging behaviours that leave you wondering why you did what you did.
It can even appear in disturbed sleep, sleeping too much, sleeping too little, or sleeping without rest.
These are the subtle warning signs.
The quiet whispers.
The little alarms we push aside because "we're fine."
PLEASE REACH OUT 🙏💙

Introverts love spending weekends alone. No plans. No people. No drama. No nothing. Just chilling alone. Reading. Meditating. Coffee. Music. Staring out the window. Cooking. Watching films. Snacking. Napping. Thinking about life and all. And trust me, they regret nothing.
