@TheFitGM @BjjTip Must be 20+ years old?

@ExInspectorBDS @sc_survey Personally, this is my approach. Can I take on a job/tasking that will remove/ease some pressure from my regular (response) colleagues whilst on shift. I see my myself as the TA to the teacher. I am in a support role. Yes, I prefer the more dynamic stuff, but I’m a SC not a PC.

@sc_survey Has there been any actual robust mixed methods insight work been undertaken in the past 2-3 years to explore the possibly reasons behind the reduction across the UK? @iain_britton

We held our quarterly @swpolice #Cardiff and #TheVale Special Constabulary team meeting yesterday evening 👥

An opportunity to recognise good work, discuss operational priorities in the next quarter and problem-solve together as a team ✅

A great bunch of committed volunteers👏

[John Bradley @PHjohnb]

@Arnoldbfa I don’t know what video you are referring to, but the initial officer safety training package & annual refresher courses are IMO not sufficient enough in duration or intensity (i.e pressure testing). It requires additional regular training in modern combat sports or RBSD.

[Ben Johns @DrBenJohns]

Quarterly meeting of @swpolice #SpecialConstables based in #Cardiff and #TheVale

Great to be joined by @SuptAttwell to meet the team and look ahead at 2025

It’s a privilege to lead this group of truly altruistic individuals, genuinely committed to keeping their communities safe

[Dale Cartwright @DrDCartwright]

Thank you to Cardiff & Vale special constables for the invite to your team meeting this evening & the warm welcome 👋

It was impressive to hear of the diverse professional backgrounds in the room & the skills you all bring to @swpolice 👮‍♀️

Looking forward to the next visit 👍

It is ok to sit for long hours BUT only if you perform at least 22 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per day.

Why?

I'll explain it in this thread 🧵

Start your year off right with this Ten Minute Hips and Spine Mobility Session. Look for 5–8 reps of each for 1-2 sets. Can be before/post workout or as a separate movement session in the morning or evening.

@Career_SC Plenty of associated benefits from maintaining that level though! Some examples being:

-Risk reduction for plenty of NCDs
-Improved mental health & well-being
-Reduction in absenteeism & presenteeism
-Improved foot chase capture rates 😀

A late finish this evening on duty in @SWPCardiff #Team3 #CityCentre with #WALvIRE and #EubankVsWilliams

A pleasure to briefly bump into my @PublicHealthW colleague @PHjohnb also on duty in town 👮‍♂️

SC King and SC Hooper also supporting Policing a very busy night! 🚔

@weavergeorge07 @PublicHealthW Thanks Steve. I was just a tiny part of a massive response. During the earlier & more intense days of the pandemic - before I started a shift, I’d always stop & absorb this whiteboard! Written by Dr @gwenllowe (I think) - kept everything in perspective for me.

[John Bradley @PHjohnb]

Nice touch @PublicHealthW - it has been an honour to have done my bit.
