IOSPS

The season starts here 🚢 Great to see the Scillonian arriving at St Mary’s for its final season. We’ll be there to meet passengers off the boat providing reassurance, visibility, and a friendly police presence. Safe travels to everyone arriving today and throughout the season.

A major incident simulation on Tresco really highlights the unique challenges of operating in the Isles of Scilly, especially the reality that resources aren’t just “on the way”…they’re potentially hours away and dependent on weather, tides, and transport availability. #teamwork

On patrol this morning in Old Town, keeping an eye on Beach Road—one of the key routes for school children. 👮‍♂️🚸 Thankfully it’s not high tide today, just a little on the blowy side 🌬️#stormchandra #ios #islandpolicing

The IOS Police urge all members of the community to consider the serious impact that drink driving can have on their employment, their families, and the wider community. An investigation is ongoing after an incident over the weekend where a person is suspected of drink driving.

We’ve had several water safety incidents on Scilly. This legislation will support us, alongside the MCA, in holding those who act irresponsibly to account. #CoastSafe #SeaSafety @MCA_media @DC_Police #ios gov.uk/government/new…

The Northern Lights doing their thing over parts of Cornwall and Scilly tonight ! #spectacular #northernlights

@VehiclepediaUK @DC_Police Although one of my officers is still trying to put a business case forward for a jet pack to travel between islands 😬😬🤣

@VehiclepediaUK @DC_Police That’s a good question ! It’s not easy to answer apart from saying that the community are great! coming together between us we have all modes of transport covered 👍🏻 it’s not uncommon to grab a left on a ATV, fire engine, coastguard vehicle, boat etc 👍🏻 #greatcommunity

Sunday vehicle check day — thankfully this enquiry came before the car wash! A real tale of two halves: the aftermath of #StormGoretti on the left, and the beautiful Isles on the right. #Welliesrequired #ios #islandpolicing

@iosflowers @DC_Police Official business I’ll have you know !!! 🤣👍🏻

@IOSPS1 @DC_Police Looked like you wereoutjoy riding to me 😆 😆

#stormgoretti Getting ready for it now 😬😬💨💨💨 at least the alert system is working well

Well, this could be interesting 💨 #stormgoretti expected to hit the Isles of Scilly around 3pm. A high amber warning has been issued, likely to be treated as a red. Stay safe, everyone! #ios

@MEIRIONYDDPHOTO @DC_Police Thanks ! Yes a technical glitch which for once wasn’t operator error ! 🤣👍🏻

@IOSPS1 @DC_Police Did you disappear recently ? Welcome back.

Happy New Year ! Did someone say there is snow around ? ❄️ Not here …. One of the advantages of school patrol this morning was PC Reed’s picture of Old Town Bay before the 🌧️ started 😬 #ios #nofilters #islandpolicing #calmbeforethestorm

Great to catch up with our fellow emergency services today for a festive breakfast get-together — and without meeting at an incident! Huge thanks to IOS Fire and Rescue for hosting us. Teamwork and connectivity on the islands are invaluable, and we do it really well, IMHO ☺️🎄

Officers on #ios have been actively involved with this year’s #OpLimit, targeting drink/drug driving. We are pleased to report that so far everyone spoken to have been responsible. We are pleased to see taxi’s being used by the majority to travel too and from a night out👍🏻🎄

What a great community spirit we have on the #ios 👏🏻 when the children can’t get safely to school due to #StormBram at Old Town the local community come to the rescue 👍🏻 well done PC Reed for keeping the children safe 😀 💨🌊

Another wonderful Christmas Festival on the Isles of Scilly. The community came out to see the lights, sing carols and have an all round fabulous festive time. IOS emergency services were there to add a little extra lights and action #community #islandpolicing #festive 🚓 🚒 🚑

A privilege as always for the #ios policing team to represent @DC_Police along with our fellow emergency services. This year we were able to include @TrescoIsland With out very own Special residing there. #lestweforget #remembrance

Final preparations for #ios remembrance service today #lestweforget #Remembrance
