Left a great force to join another today. Heavy heart as I leave friends and colleagues @MerseyPolice who have been such a big part of my family’s life. Thank you so much. A photo of my father (top left) in 1966 with the all conquering Merseyside Police team.

To colleagues reflecting on challenging times, just think of the little 8yr old girl in Carlisle city centre who spent her Saturday walking along police lines @Cumbriapolice
giving out her chocolates and thanking police officers for keeping her safe. Keep the faith.

13 arrests, 30 dispersals, over 70 stop and searches, high speed pursuits, over £100k recovered and a raft of additional arrests and charges (including a burglary series) as part of business as usual @Cumbriapolice
Thanks to police officers and police staff 👏👏👏

2 other males now charged with separate online posts inciting racial hatred & violence towards police officers.
We are not anti-protest @Cumbriapolice but we are anti-crime.

A clear endorsement of colleagues @Cumbriapolice @cumbriapfcc and efforts to serve the public in the best way possible. Thank you and well done 👏👏👏
Tough but very fair inspection @HMICFRS that gives us clarity on where we need to improve.
