Great day at the Grand National today with the team. It was a very long shift but we'll worth it. Brilliant support form Reg Team. The SC team all pulled together and made it happen. So proud to be a part of this team.

Just over 4 weeks ago I lost my rock in life.
I now know the meaning of #policefamily.
Thank you all for your support, home visits (delivering pot noodles and rum) welfare checks (Josh / Mark / Nathan) during this time. It means so much to me, my girls and the little one's.

Don't you just hate it when you're trying to go about your night as an honest criminal and those pesky police decide to stop you? Well, this unlucky criminal was stopped with £7000 cash hidden in his van. Safe to say that he has some explaining to do after his nap in the cells.

[Dave Lyons @D_Lyons_Chesh]

Truly proud of all @MerseySpecials and how they have responded to the needs of the community over the last few days, in difficult circumstances. Thank you.

[Merseyside Specials @MerseySpecials]

Last Sunday, officers on patrol in the Old Swan area of Liverpool have sighted a vehicle to collide with street furniture, despite trying to make off, officers where able to swiftly detain the driver, who presented as intoxicated and blew 102 at the roadside. #fatalfive

@sc2279 @MerseySpecials @MerPolWirral @MerPolWallasey Understatement of the year! The team never stopped tonight. The list of deployments was endless. That didn't include the 2 for no insurance, mobile phone use and ASB jobs. A well organised and managed operation. The team worked well together.🌟

Team of 7 officers worked alongside the @MerPolKnowsley team this evening in Huyton. Proactive policing addressing ASB. Ended up with a wanted person being detained and presented at custody. The support from the LP team at Huyton was brilliant.
