23 yrs ago today I joined @gmpolice . There've been some challenging times not least #COVID19 but I still wear this badge with pride. It represents the amazing people who but themselves in harms way to protect our communities & some have paid the ultimate price #bestjobintheworld

I met my first Emotional Support Dog today at @VBafc4 and heard how she knows when her #veterans #PTSD is bad and will even grab his arm to stop him leaving the house. Such amazing and affectionate animals. Worth their weight in gold.

Weekly 60 miles round trip to give dad some exercise to help his #Parkinsons . A walk to see the cows today and we practiced his @RoyalAirForce drill. His left wheel has definitely gone a bit rusty 😂

A @gmpolice detention officer emailed after I'd given an input on looking for signs, identifying & referring vulnerable veterans to @OpNOVA_UK . He'd chatted to a detainee who was a former high ranking officer in the RAF & when he asked if he needed help he said 'Yes'. Brilliant

Remember when we had a dangerous drug dealer who fled bail. Eventually found he was visiting a mate in @HMPFullSutton under a false name. Prison officers hid 3 of us in a cupboard in the sterile visitors area. Once the doors were locked, out we came. I’ll never forget his face😱

Did a home visit of one of our @gmpolice military veterans who’s been struggling. Long chat and plans to support but when I turned to their partner and asked “What about you, how are you coping?”. The tears in their eyes said it all. So often forgotten.

We have enjoyed another safe Christmas Day with our loved ones and we often take that for granted. We all owe a huge thanks and debt to our #armedforces and #policeofficers who leave their families behind to protect us from those who want to do us harm. #thankyou
