Sorry. Some of my detective duty is secret tonight. But we have seen two arrests for a violent disorder and I have been working on a sexual offence and firearms incident (no injuries thankfully) #BeADetective

This week I have made decisions on life threatening firearms incidents, played my part in excellent teamwork to capture an escaped person, reviewed a forensic post-mortem. I have also been humbled by the bravery and courage of my officers and the public. #BeADetective.

PVP Away day. I have not posted in a while, but this is an important occasion to get everyone together in the newly launched Protecting Vulnerable People Department. @NorthantsChief with thanks to @SaintsRugby

Halfway through late DI cover and this week has been ‘reasonably busy for detectives’ but a surprise visit to Protecting Vulnerable People from our newest addition to the force, ACC Ivan Balhatchet, certainly brought happiness - in the form of cuddles, into the office.

A lovely tribute to remember our great friend and colleague Alex. RIP mate.

Im so shocked to hear this. Alex is a legend, loved and respected, totally committed to policing. He frequently helped in CID. I spent many months as his team mate and trusted him implicitly. Condolences to his family. RIP PC1158
