I once heard it said that the 3 groups in society most likely to have been exposed to severe trauma are:
1. crime victims
2. prisoners
3. 999 workers
So:
- people police officers protect
- people police officers arrest
- police officers themselves
It's a heck of a job...

So proud of the @WMPBAPA team who went up on the stage at the #Birmingham#ChineseNewYear2025 celebrations to wish everyone a HappyNewYear

#BAPA had its first meeting of the year with Chief Constable Craig Guilford yesterday to discuss our plans for 2025 and how @WMPolice and @WMPBAPA can work together to bette serve our members and the communities of the West Midlands
Do you all remember Davinder ❓
He just messaged me this morning to say he has been given his collar and start date to become a constable with @WMPolice
So very happy for you Davinder . Well Done 👏🏽
🎖️ Last week, in a special reception at Buckingham Palace, The King honored individuals with The King’s Gallantry Medal and The King’s Commendation for Bravery in recognition of their extraordinary acts of bravery.
Amongst recipients was Georgia Laurie, who was awarded the medal for her heroic actions when saving her sister from a crocodile attack in Mexico in 2021!
Congratulations to all the recipients for their remarkable bravery!
We remember PCSO Holly Burke, who would have been celebrating her birthday today 🎂
Holly continues to remain an integral part of our team and made a significant contribution to the local community.
