Always good to see @NPASSouthWest @NPAShq flying low and direct especially in the turbulent weather around today! Hope you have a good result wherever you’re off to. Stay safe!

Life is so hard sometimes , winners totally insignificant compared to what has happened today . Sadly Keagan Kirby one of our best , hardworking lads lost his life today riding in a point to point . All at team ditcheat are mortified . Thoughts with all his friends and family.

The menace of electric motorbikes, tearing through communities, on @BBCNews at Six. Young people are dying, the public is at risk and the police are trying to find the best and safest way to stop these bikes which can reach 60-70mph.

The moment when the St Athan crew located an elderly male lost near Gloucester. He was 6kms from any road so we elected to land on, pick him up and fly him to safety. He was a little cold, but well when we got to him and at 85, thrilled to have his first helicopter flight! ^KF^JS

We've teamed up with Heartsafe to install life-saving bleed kits alongside community defibrillators across our policing area. We’re finalising plans to roll out kits this autumn but two kits are now available at St Agnes Church, St Pauls & Easton Community Centre #Bristol.

3 hour journey which turned into 7 hours from st Ives today… the amount of people driving without light was crazy… hanging is an understatement!! Never driving on the A30 again or visiting Exeter services! Took me over 1 hour to get out of the services 😬😬😬
