What an absolute privilege it was today to help out the team from @PSOSForthValley who had given up their weekend to volunteer for the LD Sport Summer games. The athletes, organisers and all the volunteers were an inspiration.
After a busy two days, a team of 44 Police Officers, @PSOSYouthVol, @law_torch, Special Constables and @ACCPartnership volunteered to assist and help with Scotland LD Sport Summer Games. A massive effort by all athletes, staff and helpers made this event a huge success. 👏🥇🥈🥉

Hate Crime is different from other crimes, as people are often targeted because of who they are or who the offender thinks they are.
Inspector Gillian Cooper discusses why hate crime is a crime and the adverse long-term effects that hate can have on people.

Today we held a public health summit in #Glasgow with key agencies and marked our collaboration with @P_H_S_Official
Working in partnership and through a public health lens will allow us to offer the right interventions to the right people at the right time.

The national rollout across the country is going to schedule and the number of interventions made by officers on patrol is increasing as we anticipated it would. Every intervention is potentially a life saved. #PolScotNaloxone #StopTheDeaths

Was an absolute pleasure to meet future Chief Constable @PatrolSgt yesterday. Sgt Jackson gave me the sharpest salute I’ve ever had. Then he gave me a ticket for good behaviour 😂😂. Now there’s an idea!!
Thank you to @ACCPartnership for your time today for a future recruit, he was thrilled to finally meet his boss and wants to know when he can work with you. He made sure to explain to me that he had to salute you because you are his boss.
