From working for a Bronze on Friday to working with the @scu1829 yesterday. Up there with two of the best shifts I've worked recently. Our colleagues looked gleaming while lining the route and you could see the effort they'd put into their appearance. It. Was. Entirely. Gleaming.

No apologies for being so passionate. I've never been more proud to wear a police uniform. My mates and colleagues have utterly grafted over the past ten days and are now returning to normal duties on a respectful, low key high.

An MPS Sergeant saluting the Regimental Colours of the Irish Guards during the Guard Change. An officer saluting the colours is a huge mark of respect towards them, as the colours represent major battle honours won by that regiment. Brilliant, skipper.

Six months after I leave the MPS, a letter is delivered to a police station that I haven't worked at since 2019. A colleague has permission to open it on my behalf and here we have a compensation cheque for ยฃ2.50. That's a compensation cheque sent out for an assault I suffered.

Long awaited achievement. There's alot we can bring back to the MPS in terms of discipline, standards and how we reflect this back into our working lives (and to reassure, I chose to do this course over three weeks of annual leave and at my own expense. No police time was used)๐Ÿ™‚

Volume up! Final nod to the C-130 as it retires. Also took the time to visit 'The Beat' and the Camp Bastion memorial to pay my respects. #herrick6 #Grenadiers #thinblueline #policememorial
