A really brilliant day today #LEGOLANDWindsor celebrating my nephew’s birthday! 🎉

I do my best to keep an eye out for new builds whilst walking between rides, and mini land has a fair few new blue light vehicles kicking about! 👀

Now for team night shift! 😅

#ThinBlueLine 🚨

If you didn’t already know, today is #WorldHelicopterDay! 🚁

We are so lucky to have the incredible crews from #NPAS who work alongside us all over the UK to support Policing Operations. 💯

A special shoutout from me to #NPASLondon for my visit last year! 🫡

#ThinBlueLine 🚨

Life be like…👀

#ThinBlueLine 🚨

One of our greatest strengths is our ability to deploy specialist units alongside Response & Neighbourhoods. 💯

Yesterday we were joined by the wonderful PD Yogi from #MetTaskforce to help us search for a suspect. 🐕

Cutting numbers will have a huge impact. 🤦🏼‍♂️
#ThinBlueLine 🚨

I think we need to teach this in schools at this point…🤦🏼‍♂️

#ThinBlueLine 🚨

This VJ Day, we remember all those who fought for our freedom over 80 years ago.

#VJDay80 🇬🇧

Remembering PC Andrew ‘Harps’ Harper today.

Killed in The Line or Duty by suspects fleeing from a burglary, Andrew made the ultimate sacrifice, giving chase to those who hold no care or thought for others.

Thinking of Andrew’s colleagues, friends & family today. #ThinBlueLine 🚨

Seems like an appropriate time to reiterate this…👀

#ThinBlueLine 🚨

Regardless of your A Level Results today, there’s a career waiting that will ask more of you than any other…👀

“If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you…”

#ThinBlueLine 🚨

Thank you! 😅

I use a number of different social channels because I know people have their own preferences, but the last month has been pretty insane!

Just under a million views over on instagram and nearly at 50k followers on X - thank you all so much! ☺️

#ThinBlueLine 🚨

Remembering Sgt Christopher Head, DC David Wombwell, and PC Geoffrey Fox; the crew of ‘Foxtrot One - One’, who were murdered on duty, on this day in 1966 on Braybrook Street W12. 😔

Murdered in the Line of Duty, protecting the public, pursuing armed suspects.

#ThinBlueLine 🚨

Rest Days, Best Days. 📸

#ThinBlueLine 🚨

It’s been a little while since I customised this #LEGO #LandRover 👀

Which car should I customise next? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Let me know in the comments…✅

#ThinBlueLine 🚨

Thank you…👀

#ThinBlueLine 🚨

We are The Police. 👀

#ThinBlueLine 🚨

Who needs sleep anyway? 😂

#ThinBlueLine 🚨

And sadly it continues… 👀

Another day another resignation. Someone with their whole career ahead of them, who’s had enough.

We really, truly need to do something about retention, if we want to keep experienced Police Officers…🤷🏼‍♂️

It really is an ever thinner #ThinBlueLine 🚨

Seems like an apt time to post this again…👀

#ThinBlueLine 🚨

This is beyond sad. 😔

Years of service and experience leaving for a better quality of life, better pay on the other side of the world…👀

Australia are proactively recruiting British and Irish Police Officers and nothing has been done about it whatsoever. 🤦🏼‍♂️

#ThinBlueLine 🚨

“Hi there Brick Cop! Not sure if you knew but the #USCG turned 235 yesterday!

I saw you did a cool photo of the awesome Rescue Swimmer who saved a hell of a lot of lives during the floods in Texas, any chance you could animate it? Thanks from The South!”

‘So others may live’ 🚨

Because you won’t read it in the news…

#ThinBlueLine 🚨

“Mate would you mind giving the team looking after the Conflict Management Dogs a shout out? I’m sure you’ve seen in the news they’re also going to be part of the cuts. They’re an incredibly valuable asset and losing them is tough.”

Couldn’t agree more… 👀🤦🏼‍♂️

#ThinBlueLine 🐕🚨

“Hey BC! Loved the Dog Unit animation! So cool! Of course you’ve now got to do a Mounted one, you know that right?!

Morale is a bit low at the moment with cuts looming, would be really cool to see something positive! Thanks very much and take care!”

Done. 🫡

#ThinBlueLine 🐎🚨

The duality of British Policing continues for another weekend. 🤦🏼‍♂️

The Cops who should be answering 999 calls and investigating crimes in their communities, are the same ones taken away to Police protests in other parts of those cities.

Something has to give…

#ThinBlueLine 🚨

Sad news this evening that author Allan Ahlberg has passed away.

His book, ‘Cops and Robbers’ was a firm favourite when I was a child.

“Here are the Cops of London town,
Hardworking, brave and true.
They drink their tea,
Stay up till three
And take good care of you.”

#ThinBlueLine 🚨

An overdue thank you to our brilliant #MetTaskforce Dog Support Units 🫡

Often there availability and support makes all the difference at a call. There’s never enough of them, but their dedication to assisting BCU and Specialist colleagues is second to none. 💯

#ThinBlueLine 🚨

My thoughts are with our colleagues across the pond in New York today after Police Officer Didarul Islam was shot and killed in the line of duty.

Thinking of his friends, family, loved ones and those who did what they could to help, at this incredibly sad time.

#ThinBlueLine 🇺🇸

Had to be done! ⚽️

So proud of The Lionesses who’ve done it again!

#ItsHome #Lionesses 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

“Hey BC! Loving the new photo to video projects they look class!

Any chance you can do one for the Rifle Officers on #MutualAid for the #Trump visit in Scotland? It’s a great role but never fun being away from home and the kids! Thanks mate!”

Of course! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

#ThinBlueLine 🫡🚨

“It’s a big city, I can’t be everywhere. But they don’t know where I am. 

We have a signal now for when I’m needed. But when that light hits the sky, it’s not just a call, it’s a warning - to them.

Fear, is a tool.

They think I’m hiding in the shadows, but I am the shadows.”
