Policing. A thankless & tough job at the best of times, carried out by people who may be flawed but do 'step up' and keep going back for more. #thankyouforyourservice馃殧馃檹

As a very young cop I recall a home with all it's windows smashed at 2am. A woman & 2 kids terrified because dad had gone to work to feed his family The David Wilkie manslaughter in Nov '84? Any #orgreave enquiry is flawed without investigation of both sides of the coin
On 18 June 1984, the violent clashes at Orgreave and the discredited evidence that followed left lasting scars on the community. This autumn, a public inquiry will begin to uncover the truth, holding those responsible to account and helping to restore confidence in policing.
Another cop injured overnight Taser worked Academic or agenda driven views on that, gas or use of force are of minimal value unless you've faced violence from one of the 'great' British public Morning all #police #justice #Arrest #prison #thinblueline

Thoughts on #SandiePeggie 1. If the #NHS is not emotionally safe for it's staff, what price the rest of us? 2. Strategic leaders need to grip that their cosy 'bubble' thinking is toxic to good staff 3. Ignorance & arrogance can be career ending when exposed in court #NHSFife

Your reminder that working under extreme workloads with insufficient resources, over extended time periods, can produce a trauma response in and of itself #Burnout is real and becoming normalised It's not just you. #wellbeing #mentalhealthawareness

My 'journey' took me to a bad place years ago Recovery led me to people who've been there too, faced their demons, gone deep to understand it and have become the most powerful, wonderful people I've ever met I found my tribe #blessed #genuine #honesty #Sunday #connection

#Communication is a key part of policing It doesn't matter how many times we repeat 'community' 'partners' or 'reassurance' in a few minutes We don't want 'pat lines' We NEED real, local, genuine & human connection Current media training undermines #policing Morning all!
Assistant chief constable Stuart Hooper says he will not accept 'selfish vandalism' by anti-migration protestors. This comes after demonstrators clashed with police outside an Essex hotel believed to be housing asylum seekers. trib.al/kdXA2Dr 馃摵 Sky 501, Virgin 602
Had an eye test on Wednesday that showed something of concern Emergency hospital appointment yesterday Nurses, scans, consultant all seen inside 50 minutes & nothing to fret about 馃檹 @royalhospital - all just excellent! Thank you #NHS
When #management understand that: Please Thankyou Are you OK? How can I help? Need a chat? Thank you for your work Are all more important than bowls of fruit, posters on walls & intranet wellbeing memes Then workplace #wellbeing will only then start to get better
Me having a 'moment' while my boy made his grooms speech at his #wedding The memories, the good and tough, his childhood, growth, Uni, happy and worrying times all crashing in, in one beautiful, sweet, powerful moment I'm so bloody blessed #family #love

Today's moral If you have no ticket to travel on a train and you're being a d*ck with a professional conductor about it, you never know who's listening over the aisle who pulls together a raft of witnesses all willing to support her Sick of entitled, disrespectful people
