Very moving and memorable service at Gloucester Cathedral to mark 10 years since Hollie Gazzard was brutally murdered in another case of male violence against women and girls. Her lovely memory lives on in the good works of her inspirational father and the Hollie Gazzard Trust

After a long day in London discussing police matters, it was nice to listen to these Christmas carols at Paddington station, raising money for the poor of the world - even though most just rushed past with their busy lives. Christmas is a time for helping others more in need

On top of our plans to recruit 150 more Special Constables, we also intend to expand our Police Cadets and Cubs around the County, so every young person who wants to, can play an active part in their community and have a great time as well!

Visited our Training Assessment Unit. This unit is setting the standard across the country for preparing our newly minted officers to reach Independent Patrol Status with confidence. Modern policing is extremely tough and demanding, so the '7 Ps' are essential @Glos_Police

Interested to see an article in The Mail on Sunday which touched on my bid as a military veteran to become Glos Police & Crime Commissioner and 'police the police'. As a thoughtful Chief Constable said to me the other day: "policing is too important to be left to the police."

Two weeks into the New Year and lots going on. Spent quite a lot of time visiting police stations, to chat to as many officers and staff as I can, then raise any problems with the chain of command. 1/10 @Glos_Police

Great to be out in Dursley last night, in all weathers, with a wonderful team of hard working Special Constables (the missing ones were taking an offender into custody). Tackling drug dealing and keeping our roads safe from those under the influence @GlosPolSpecials @Glos_Police

Community Payback is a great way to help offenders give something back to the communities they have let down. All sorts of worthy local projects are helped. A great way to help tackle anti-social behaviour!

Harassment and unwanted attention can lead to more serious sexual violence. This campaign is incredibly powerful and I hope makes us think about times we could speak up or do more to support all women. Speak out. #FindYourVoice

Great to see one of my senior team 'spreading the word' about the power of Restorative Justice. It can make such a difference in all types of conflict resolution and provide the basis for genuine long term solutions, leaving both sides of a dispute more positive about the future

Automatic Number Plate Recognition equipment is an essential bit of technology to help our police tackle all kinds of criminal behaviour. Due to our success bidding for Safer Streets money, we will deploy dozens more across Gloucestershire, which will help keep our roads safer

£1m of government money will help make Gloucestershire safer for women and girls. Our office secured Safer Streets money to pay for schemes tackling inappropriate or misogynistic behaviour, and practical improvements like outreach workers & street cameras.

Last night I attended the Youth Advisory Group at @Glos_Police . A group of inspiring young people aged between 13 and 19, giving their unfiltered opinions on policing and issues which affect them. I was humbled to be invited and hope to speak with them again in the future.
