Does anybody else have a conversation with their dog when leaving the house, telling them where they are going & roughly what time they will be home?

After being bitten by a detainee who informed me they had Hep B & god knows what else a few months ago, I was informed yesterday that the blood results had come back clear. The relief is immense.

Worst feeling in the world last night hearing a mates emergency button going off in a rural area,sounds of a fight then no response.Officers raced to the scene & thankfully minor injuries & 2 under arrest.Massive thanks to those who stepped in to help our buddy before we arrived.
These guys did themselves, the armed forces & Britain proud on Monday. With the world watching the pressure must of been unimaginable but they carried out their duty with such professionalism & grace.

Me: (Bang on a door last night) Them: Who is it.
Me: Pizza delivery.
Them: I haven’t ordered pizza.
Me: Someone has & these 2 large Hawaiian pizzas are not going to eat themselves.
Them: Ok hang on (Opens door) Damn it, it’s the police.
Two under arrest.🚓
It doesn’t matter how many times I try & explain it to my 16 yr old Son. He will never understand the struggle of trying to record songs from the Sunday top 40 using a tape to tape machine before the DJ interrupted the song. 🤯

So after X-rays & a CT scan over the last month due to abnormalities,I found out today I don’t have cancer! I’m not sure I’ve ever been more relieved! Trying to focus on work has kept me sane over the last month.The room got a bit dusty when I got the news.

Reports of a lady pushing a mobility scooter along a rural road with her back to traffic.Lady was wet & cold when we found her so we got her safely in our car & took over before a very friendly chap offered to transport it to Gainsborough for me in his van. Top man!

Officially told today that my temporary move to Gainsborough has been made permanent. I can only apologise to the criminal elements who do so much damage to the community that I’m here to annoy them for a bit longer (and to CID for the extra work)😉

I moan as a police officer that our pay doesn’t reflect the complexity & demands of the job but after having an operation at Louth today I have nothing but admiration for the nurses who have been so kind & looked after me. Thank you.

Arrested a charming young man & he informed me his jacket was worth more than my uniform(probably)& was worth more than I earn in a week(probably not)& I was apparently bullied at school. Is it too much to ask for a bit of originality rather than the same old clichés🙄😴

A violent male under arrest has already informed us he apparently pays our wages, earns more than us & assumes we were all bullied at school, it’s too early & I’ve not had enough caffeine to listen to unoriginality.🙄

Reports of a male trapped in his car since 12am & running out of fuel just off the A153. Impassible by car so 3/4 mile trek on foot. Male located safe & well & his daughters birthday cake also rescued.
Needed a bit of headspace before dad’s funeral later. I’ve always loved running around the cliffs and beach around Dunbar. Today felt a little bit more special than all the others, definitely more emotional. A piece of me will always belong to this place. 🤍

newest recruit PS Adam. Thanks for helping me carry out a siren & blue light check on the car mate. 🚔
Aggressive prisoner brought into custody, started spitting blood. Spit hood used resulting in officers not having blood spat at them. It’s simple, they work & protect officers.
Responded to reports of a violent male who had barricaded himself into a flat. Male was throwing knives at the window at officers & making threats. He then opened a window to throw more knives & promptly tasered by PC Cawte & myself. One under arrest, no injuries to officers.
Noise complaints re a rave overnight near Faldingworth, so I thought I’d say hello.
‘Who’s equipment is this & who is the organiser?’
‘No idea.’
‘I’ll seize it all for safe keeping then as I don’t want it getting lost.’

Problem solved.👍🏻

Conversation with a special constable this morning…
Hi, we’ve not met, I’m Mike/Tempo if you need anything let me know.
We’ve met before sarge, I was a little kid and had a picture taken with you.

Right, good, go and find bad guys.
Went to buy 2 meals today for a couple living in a tent who stated they hadn’t eaten for a few days, blown away when another customer insisted on paying even when I tried explaining it wasn’t for me. There really are some fab people about. Nobody should have to go without food.
7 1/2 hours into an extremely busy shift with no breaks & a couple of the team managed a quick coffee between jobs, but drank it in the shop in order to respond to any other incidents. While dutiflly ignoring the ‘What a waste of my taxes’ comment as we left.🙄

Merry Christmas to all my followers & to my amazing shift of officers. We have achieved so much as a group this year & you make me so proud to be your skipper with your professionalism & determination to help & protect the residents of West Lindsay. You make a difference.
After a stressful week at work including delivering first aid to someone for over an hour with horrific GBH injuries, it was nice to get out with the pup in the countryside to clear the post night shift cobwebs. I needed that hug.

One of our group was assaulted tonight when he was bitten, breaking the skin. Simply unacceptable. To say I’m angry is an understatement! Offender arrested for assault & officer treated at hospital & welfare needs taken care of.

We posted footage yesterday of the DUNHAM BRIDGE road closure, last night one driver thought they knew better. The water levels have NOT gone down. As you can see it is NOT passable. Thankfully occupants were safe.

Just resumed from dealing with the last vehicle when this one sped past. The appearance of the driver confirmed what his driving gave away. Drunk. 67ug at the roadside. His drunk mate felt it was time to get abusive & throw beer cans at us so he’s on route to custody too.

Don’t despair if you didn’t do so well in your GCSE’s. It doesn’t mean you can’t still follows your dreams.I wasn’t an academic & only left school with 1 GCSE but continued to work hard to get the qualifications to get me where I am today. Your grades don’t define you.

Updated that 1 of my staff were assaulted yesterday while arresting a male, the officer was kneed to the face. I’ve seen the injury photos & there was blood everywhere & A&E confirmed the officer as having cracked cartilage in his nose .Like a trooper he is back in work today. 😡
While over in Lincoln, assisted colleagues & deployed to an assistance shout resulting in one of our colleagues being punched in the mouth & bitten on the arm. Totally unacceptable behaviour. 2 under arrest. Officer treated & immediate welfare needs squared away.

What a relentless shift! Arrests for being unfit to drive,affrays (fighting), poaching & fail to appear warrants. I think we have nearly filled custody with West Lindsey prisoners. Few hours sleep then back in this evening to do it all again.🥱Its like the gift that keeps giving.
