Big Sarge from @bostonpolice showing everyone how fan engagement is done.
Sgts across the pond watch on in awe that he isn’t immediately restricted for not thinking about the optics of his actions and investigated for gross misconduct.
I’m only half joking.

Trauma doesn’t just affect the person who is living with it. Families can carry the weight of policing trauma too.
Everyday life can be full of unexpected triggers for someone living with PTSD - a loud noise, a sudden change in routine, even a familiar place. And when trauma resurfaces, it doesn’t just impact the person who served - it ripples through the whole family.
Partners, children, parents, and close friends often describe feeling helpless, walking on eggshells, or struggling to understand the changes in their loved one.
When someone is living with the impact of harm, it can take the joy out of retirement and change the rhythm of family life.
You’re not alone in this - and neither are they > https://t.co/ZmPZPyOpAg

The physical and psychological impact of policing can stay with those who serve long after their shift ends, with many experiencing PTSD as a result of repeated exposure to trauma and needing specialist support to recover.
This #PTSDAwarenessDay on June 27, we’re asking you to Walk The Beat - take a simple step outdoors to boost your wellbeing while showing your support for the one in five in the policing family who may be living with PTSD.
By getting involved and donating to Police Care UK, you can help ensure they receive the care they need, when they need it most.
Raise £100 or more and, as a thank you, we’ll send you two Police Care UK water bottles and a pin badge to recognise your support.
