So, my news ...
A month ago I had a job interview ...
Was pleased to even get an interview for the role as it would be a big promotion.
I’ve been offered the job 🙌🏼
I cannot believe how far I have come
#Yay

I am working less ⏰
I am earning more 💷
I am valued 🤗

Officers have now arrested a 15-y/o boy on suspicion of an offence under the Animal Welfare Act 2006. He’s currently in police custody.
Were you there at the time? Call 101, ref 44190180705.
Morning!
I’m signed on for my last ever booked shift in Kent Control today before I move on & up-to West Coast South.
I will soon be getting my head round the route from Euston to Crewe and trying not to be too much of a 💩 🧲 😂
You know when you ‘like’ overhear a certain generation ‘like’ overusing a certain word in ‘like’ all conversation, it ‘like’ gets a bit annoying 🙄

Hubby getting drafted in to assist with the fun in London at present. He’s currently driving to his base to get his kit to drive back so he can get in early to different base tomorrow!

Stop stabbing each other you little shits ... you are wasting lives, policing and NHS resources not to mention the effect dealing with the trauma these incidents cause with your poor life choices 😡
Somehow 2 & a half years have passed since I left policing & I thought maybe time for a little thread about my journey & a bit of advice for anyone who cares or is looking for something new.
Anniversary of the event that triggered my PTSD & eventual need to leave policing came & went recently.
For the first time since then I haven’t been on ‘a count down’ to said date nor found myself triggered by the run up to it.
To answer the obvious questions for you:
Do I regret leaving? Not one little bit!
Do I miss people? Absolutely, but the good ones stay in contact 🍻📱
Am I enjoying it? I’m loving learning a new industry, a new challenge & excellent career progress potential 🙌🏼

Bloke at bar last night (Could feel his stare burning into my face ... *thinks ‘here we go again’)
HIM: Cor, Your ‘big’ aren’t you (saaaf London accent)
ME: I think the word you are looking for is ‘tall’ (RBF given)
Collects his drinks and walks away 😂

Looking through my timeline it is very apparent that:
1. Coppers are ill/exhausted/suffering
2. Coppers are trying their best and don’t want to let their teams down thus adding to point 1
3. SMT (some) don’t care enough about said coppers (refer to point 2)
and repeat ...
Until everyone actually gets that getting through this is everyone’s responsibility we’re gonna keep on like this for the foreseeable.
Stay the fuck at home!

'He needs to face the consequences.'
Former Met Police Officer Ali Hassan Ali says Will Smith needs to be 'reprimanded, he needs to apologise and be remorseful.'
And they wonder why there has been the big policing operation for their ‘peaceful’ protest ... for their protection too ... commuters will take matters into their own hands.
#ItWasOnlyAMatterOfTime
A brave member of the public rescued a dog that was tied to a heavy rock and was drowning in the River Trent this morning.
Officers are appealing for information from anyone who saw the incident involving the Belgian Shepherd, near Long Lane, Farndon, at around 8.45am today.
A day of two halves ...
Hubby got assaulted on duty last night, some scum spat in his face 😡

Training for my new role officially started today ... loved it. It was busy and I think I managed pretty well overall
#Yay

This country is getting the policing it deserves for how the government has treated it. No offence to any officers, you are all trying you’re best but they must start valuing experience as well as numbers!
When will they learn that 20k more officers will not replace the huge gaping hole of experience lost! How will they recruit/train/mentor & retain that in today’s mess?! Should have looked after what they had when they had it
#CutsHaveConsequences
Funny story I heard today from an ex colleague ...
Guess when the long awaited (two winters!) winter jackets we’d been promised arrived??
You guessed it ... the hottest fucking day of the year!
You literally couldn’t make this shit up 😂
Lots of ‘extra officers’ tweets about today ... NEWSFLASH ... there aren’t any extra officers they will have had their rest days cancelled or extended duties forced upon them 🙄
Well done an accurate and concise update ... keyboard warriors can now STFU 😂 UPDATED: Met Commander statement re footage of man being arrested... - Metropolitan Police

Having spent some time working through my late Dads photographs I always knew we did a lot of railway visits but I’ve found so much more than I can remember! Here’s Bluebell Railway 1989 😊
#ChooChoo
I’m staying at home today, I’m rest days, I’m a key worker & I get it, I’m doing my bit, it may not seem much but it’s vital. Stay home! Stay home and BBQ, stay home and sunbathe, stay home and ‘house party’ your household gathering, do the right thing!
#StayHomeSaveLives
I should have known I was destined to work on the railway, my Dad was fascinated with it.
Many trips to various heritage railways as a kid & always remember he built a really impressive model railway taking up the entire loft.
I really hope I’m making him proud 😊

En route back into London Town for early turn. Does anyone else always seem to manage to wake up a few mins before the early turn alarm would have gone off? 🤷🏻♀️

... World Cup ambulance damage case dropped against four
***thread*** (sorry!)
As many of you prepare for NHC this weekend, I wish you all a safe one.
Today marks 1 year since I left policing to join the many that have gone before me to the railway.
I guess the main question people would ask is, do I regret leaving?
