‘RELENTLESS’ IS NOW LIVE! Police officers in Scotland face violent attacks, make split-second life-or-death decisions and carry the emotional weight of every call they respond to.

They aren’t fictional scenarios – for many officers, they are a daily reality.  Watch and share to support those who protect us: spfrelentless.com #SPFRelentless #BehindTheBadge #SPFVoices #RealPoliceStories #PoliceScotland #KeepingPeopleSafe #YourPolice #SupportOurPolice
