Proud to support the North West Firearms Collaboration's National Close Protection Course by hosting a tour of our facilities today. If you saw any unusual activity on campus, don't worry - it was all part of a training exercise! @FirearmsNW @CheshNWalesAAP @CheshirePolice

Hilarious comedy show by @LucyABeaumont at @CreweLyceum tonight. My daughters first ever stand up show and she was definitely not disappointed especially with your grasp of the French language! 🤣👏

Superb evening with @billingham229b - a very humble man who has achieved some incredible things against adversity - a lot to take away from listening to him - always a little further!

Keep going @CotswoldLadyB a phenomenal effort raising funds for @The_NFRSA Myself along with the @cheshirepolice officers accompanying you from Market Drayton to Chorley had an amazing time sharing your adventures - even if it was a little eventful with Stu navigating 🤯
Note from Lady B. ‘Morning all, today is a rest day and I’m so looking forward to taking my team to visit @policedogunit this morning. Im terribly behind with my blogs, but will try and catch up later today - but I did want to say something very important. There are a huge number of people who have been involved in this bike ride, not just me. The management committee, trustees, ambassadors they’ve all pitched in to help and support. But in particular, the management committee, who have been working for months on our adventure. Diaries. Bookings. Organising visits. Organising volunteers. Organising the loveliest of surprises to keep me going. Organising companion riders of which there have been many, (they’ve all been amazing), stops, routes, bikes, and dealing with disasters when they happen with complete calm. Organising volunteer drivers, mostly committee, with some great friends helping. Keeping the home fires burning while I’ve been away. There are so many people behind me, and with me, including my darling school friend Alice Macaire, and Tom from @CotswoldTV who have been there very step of the way, either on a bike, or cheering on the roadside, and I wanted to say a huge thank you to each and every one of you, you know who you are. You’ve put everything into this, your time (a huge amount of time), your effort, and your love, and it shows every day. I could not have done this, or continue to do it without you and I’m so grateful to you all. To our wonderful volunteers hosts who have put us up and loved us for the time we’ve stayed with you - a huge thank you. And to you, our supporters out there, thank you for the love and encouragement, and the donations. Please keep them coming, it will mean we can help more of our retired service animals, and their families, when they need us the most. Please keep supporting us - please keep sharing this with your friends - please keep donating. A simple text will donate £5 - that’s a cup of coffee and a a cake - so please grab your phones now and text: PAW to 70450 Lady B’ 💜🚴‍♀️🐾🐴🐾🚴‍♀️💜 #charity #cycling #cyclinglife #dogs #dogsofinstagram #horses #horsesofinstagram #bike #biking #roadcycling

Today we published a report on how effective police forces are in the deployment of firearms. We found that forces are effective in deploying firearms, and officers discharged weapons at only 0.02 per cent of armed operations in 2021/22. ⬇️ Read more: ow.ly/hekM50P7One

PD Kratos assisted @NWPWestConCoast after two wanted males left the scene of a domestic assault. After his handler caught up with one suspect on foot after a CCTV sighting, PD Kratos made short work in detaining the second hidden in a tent in nearby woodland #PDKratos #GreenTeam

Last night PD Sansa assisted @gmpolice with the search of an address where she located drugs and cash. PD Skye was then deployed with @CheshNWalesAAP and @NPASNorthWest in Warrington. NPAS directed officers to a pathway where Skye located two of the suspects hiding in woodland.

A wanted male was giving officers in Widnes the runaround last night. Up stepped PD Sparky who picked up a track from where the male had last been seen and located him hiding in a corn field! Great work Sparky and handler. #PDSparky #NowhereToHide

Officers went to arrest a male for robbery offences in Widnes last night, he fled the address and into neighbouring gardens. Whilst Jax was searching he gave himself up at the last minute after hearing her closing him down. He didn't fancy his chances against our Jax!

Today PD Otis has officially retired from service. Otis has been a fantastic detection dog and has been a PD for the last 8 years. Time for long snoozes, long walks and a space on the sofa, he retires to his current handler. Thank you PD Otis
