TPAC ✅

We are proud to announce that we've successfully trained our first officer on TPAC this week. This advanced training enhances our ability to safely manage high-risk vehicle pursuits, reinforcing our commitment to public safety and operational excellence. A heartfelt thank you to everyone in the force who supported this initiative. Durham's drive to grow our road policing special constables started many years ago, and with your continued dedication, we look forward to further developing our skills and capabilities. Thanks to everyone past and present for being part of this journey. >SC @DurhamPolice
