@StaffsPolice Thanks to DCI Ison and the entire team @StaffsPolice for bringing this case to a successful conclusion. Respect for your dedication and professionalism.
@BBCNews My understanding is that PCSOs are not routinely equipped with tasers, sprays or handcuffs ... do we ask them to enter high risk confrontational situations?
@DyfedPowys My condolences to Inspector Earp's family and friends, and to all colleagues @DyfedPowys who served alongside him. Gyda phob cydymdeimlad yn eich colled.
Today I salute everyone @staffsresponse , and the response officers that I know @SStaffsPolice and @CannockPolice , for responding to emergency calls and other serious incidents. Thank you for confronting wrongdoing and injustice, and offering help to those in real need.
My very best wishes to everyone @StaffsPolice travelling North to the Lake District for the annual Light the Beacons event. Hope that the heat and humidity will be kind to you! Go Steve... I'm right behind you... about 100 miles behind you!!!
@FsmDog@LBC Good question. More people should be asking questions about all sorts of crises ... cost of living, homelessness, crime rates, climate change, migration, inequality etc. We should, quite rightly, be seeking compassion and justice in all of these (and other) situations.
@InspDaveT@polchaplainsuk@DC_Police @jonrossmcnairn @uk_cpa It is a huge privilege to be invited to move alongside regulars, specials, PCSOs and civilian staff ... and to discover the humanity behind the uniform. Men and women giving their all in very difficult and challenging circumstances. They deserve whatever support we can give them.
@StaffsPolice My thoughts and prayers for all the Police officers, PCSOs and staff who have dealt with this incidentnd, and those who will be dealing with it during the coming weeks. Resilience and resolve. Thoughts too for all the children who will be affected by the loss of classmates.
