Chief Inspector James Beattie

After 2.5 years on @MPSRTPC - last shifts as #Raptor1 done! Next week I start a new role elsewhere in @metpoliceuk as a Chief Inspector. Learning about roads policing has been a fantastic experience, and I have been lucky to work with some superb officers, staff & partners.

@JS188SX @Sgt_117T Ha!

@WecopsCaroline Ah yes I had heard! He’ll be great! 😀

If you’ve followed my @Twitter you’ll know what I mean when I say, ‘Glenn the car wash kid’ passed his skippers 🥳🥳🥳 SO proud of this one 🥰 great job 🙌 any BOCU will be lucky to get you 🤜

@PcBarryCalder What amazing photos Barry, and what an incredible career you have had!

@PcBarryCalder @Brick_Cop @UKCopHumour @MetTaskforce Great photo Barry!

@ciara_cs @RoadPeace @AndyCoxDCS Well done!

Today 31 yrs on - we gather to remember PC Larry Brown, who was murdered on duty - serving & protecting the London he loved. Policing is a job performed by incredible, selfless & brave people. Larry you are forever in our thoughts. BCU Cmdr Marcus Barnett. @metpoliceuk

@otto6226 @MPSRTPC @metpoliceuk Thanks woody! Yes will keep up Public Order etc so will be out and about still. Hope all is well with you.

@AndyCoxDCS @MPSRTPC @metpoliceuk Thanks so much - and grateful for all your support! The Met’s loss was very much @LincsPolice’s gain

@TheGrumpyRat @MPSRTPC @metpoliceuk Thank you for all the hard work and proactivity! Stay in touch. 👍🏼

@RoadCrimeRat @metpoliceuk Thanks for all your hard work, enthusiasm and dedication! It’s been a pleasure.

@WecopsCaroline @MPSRTPC @metpoliceuk Thanks so much Caroline - it’s been intense hard work, but very much worth it. The video of me getting on that motorcycle would make you laugh more… !

@jamesbpolice @MPSRTPC @metpoliceuk You have done a bloody brilliant job there James and worked your socks off! Great pics, made me laugh 😂 Sure you’ll make a fab C/Insp wherever u land. Good luck 💙

@nickmountain @MPSRTPC @metpoliceuk Hi Nick! Sadly not - something totally new!

@dorsetbikeEXcop @MPSRTPC @metpoliceuk No comment! But I am under no illusion that I have been lucky on @MPSRTPC with our fleet / kit.

@jamesbpolice @MPSRTPC @metpoliceuk Good luck, but I’m guessing fewer cool toys in new job.

@DSuptHenderson @MPSRTPC @metpoliceuk Thanks ma’am - hope you are well!

Special shout out to 3 exceptional Sergeants who have put so much into this team: @SgtMps @RatSergeant @Sgt_117T The work to set up a new unit from scratch in the midst of a pandemic cannot be underestimated, and there have been many challenges along the way!

Incredibly proud to have led the inception of the @metpoliceuk #RoadCrimeTeam - the superb success of this team belongs to the Sgts, PCs and SCs who have put so much effort in to deliver proactive roads policing, focused on denying London’s roads to dangerous drivers & criminals.
