Final night, call me a boring but my calm comes from organised equipment. Looking the same on the last night as the first early!

Slightly disappointed with my @adidas, got about 200k on them and already torn. Love the shoe but irritating wear out.

“Apprehending violent and dangerous criminals is a full contact and messy task which may appear shocking to observers with little experience of policing in the real world.” Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley writes to Zack Polanski.

Pictures attached are one of @easyJet “5 star hotels” advertised as a holiday.. worse by far was the customer service I have had since raising the issue. Genuinely shocking!

This.. I try to avoid talking about individual cases I haven’t been read into. But services should surely hold part of the responsibility for insufficient training and fitness standards.
There is an argument to be made that, when you provide only two days training a year, you cannot expect perfect performance when it comes to use of force and that it’s unreasonable to expect police officers to react in a cool, detached manner when a subject spits in their face.

Some official pictures from recent training. I even got a Brecon hand thrown in.

Hope everyone had a good Christmas, I think my operator outdid me with his Ninja turtle jumper.

The footage from Bondi is horrific, but through all the terror I have seen countless acts of bravery and selflessness. Thinking of all involved at this time!

Subterranean is hard graft. Dogs are great message ends.

Happy heavenly birthday to Sgt Gavin Hillier 40 today. Fatally injured on Castlemartin Ranges 4th March 2021. Always in my thoughts, rest in peace big man. Till the re org. That was a pretty shitty night in the office for the Welsh Guards.

You know it’s a horrendous run when you just sit in the car too exhausted to go home. I think I overdid it.

One of the lovely things about getting so much mutual AID is seeing a load of cops from my home town back in Wales. “Yeah I know your dad”

Unconventional advice: don’t trust a cross country Strava route called “easy” if it was made by someone named João Miguel. That man is built different. “It’s going to be hills. It’s going to be hard.” #thrudark #gibraltartradingco

As a squaddie there is nothing more comfortable than a setup like this
UNACCEPTABLE! This is how Trump is treating troops currently deployed in Los Angeles. Sources said “The troops arrived without federal funding for food, water, fuel, equipment or lodging… This person said state officials and the California National Guard were not to blame” Wow.
