This is a very kind gesture made by a member of the public today.
She didn't know how to express her thanks for everything the police do and her condolences for the tragic loss of a colleague in TVP, so she baked us a cake.
THANK YOU it's the small gestures that keep us going.
At 11am this morning we held a minute’s silence here at Thorpe Wood Police Station, along with our colleagues across the country, to remember

We’ve been at the Embankment this evening in response to the planned party. A handful of cars have turned up, we’ve spoken to the occupants and moved them on. Other than that we’re pleased to say there’s no sign of a party so far and we’ve been patrolling other sites across too.
The simplest act can mean a lot!
Thank you to the kind gentleman who randomly paid for this coffee at Brotherhoods this afternoon as a thank you for the work we do.
It's only a coffee to some people, but it could be the only coffee we get in a shift!

Impact team officers were out of the station no more than 5 minutes entering Bretton when two vehicles clearly in convoy decided to cut up their unmarked police vehicle on a roundabout. This is not a good idea when out stealing catalytic converters with power tools

Yet ANOTHER vehicle seizure, this time the driver has a revoked licence. Small amount of cannabis and 4 weapons also seized. Offender reported for offences. We feel we may have prevented a much more serious incident.
