Last week, @coventrycollege Public Services students spent a morning with the Safer Travel Team, learning about what we do and career options! They met the @BTP explosive search dog and had a walk around of police vehicles giving them an insight to how they operate.

We're now patrolling the Black Country rail line as it welcomes passengers for the first time in 60 years. This marks the first of 3 major transport developments we'll be supporting, alongside the Camp Hill line & the metro Eastside extension opening soon.

We've had a special visitor over the last week with The Flying Scotsman travelling from Moor Street. The first train to reach a 100 miles per hour, and looking good for an engine over 100 years old.

📢 It’s not OK to have to deal with sexual abuse or sexual violence. It’s not OK to suffer in silence. It’s not OK to have to deal with it on your own. 1/3
