We’ve got a GoFundMe started for the families of PC Matthew Blades and PC Tom Clough. Now we’re asking the policing family and wider public to come together and give whatever you can. Every donation, no matter how small, would be appreciated. We will liaise with Cleveland Police to ensure the funds raised are distributed appropriately to the officers’ families. Please give what you can and just as importantly, please share. 🔗 gofundme.com/f/pc-matthew-bl…

What he says 👇👍 – at Cardiff, Wales
We have a ‘National Police Service’ who *checks notes* ‘protect us all’ it’s called the NCA…😂 Renaming things isn’t going to fix anything. Perhaps come and see the reality of Policing, that it needs to be funded properly and not used as a political football… #ThinBlueLine 🚨

Right now, criminals are outsmarting some police forces. We're changing that. Like doctors and lawyers, every officer in England and Wales will need a Licence to Practise so they have the skills needed to fight crime in your community.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Police officers in England and Wales already undergo yearly assessment through First aid and PPST training. Detectives maintain yearly CPD to update skills and prove competence. This license does not identify how this will 'outsmart' offenders. college.police.uk/career-learnin…

Replying to @PFEW_HQ
"Anger is building. Every other public sector profession has had its annual pay award confirmed. Police officers, alone, are still waiting. With just weeks before the new pay period begins, there has been nothing but silence. 1/2
