We will never see anything like this again in our lifetimes. If you have a few minutes, watch it. Probably the greatest music video ever made. Michael Jackson - Thriller (1983)

Sophie Evans and James Lloyd successfully represented two Sussex police officers accused of gross misconduct before a Police Misconduct Panel. After a four-day hearing, the panel made no adverse factual findings against James’ client and dismissed the case against that officer in its entirety. The panel made an isolated duties finding in respect of Sophie’s client and issued a warning. The allegations related to the officers’ decision not to arrest a youth when tasked to do so. In the weeks that followed, the youth was murdered. It was further alleged that the officers had conspired to mislead colleagues, resulting in records of the arrest attempt that were deliberately misleading. Following detailed submissions on the lawfulness of arrest discretion under the Bail Act, section 24 PACE and Code G, and reliance on the College of Policing’s APP on Risk, the panel accepted that the decision taken was a lawful, proportionate, welfare-led exercise of operational discretion. The case against the officers for breach of duty collapsed. The defence emphasised that arrest is a power, not a duty, and that officers are legally required to assess necessity and proportionality under Code G before exercising that power. The panel agreed, adopting the reasoning of the APP, that policing decisions must be judged not by the quality of the decision itself, but by quality of decision-making at the time, uncontaminated by hindsight. The outcome reinforced the principle that lawful discretion, properly exercised, should not amount to misconduct. It also provides reassurance for officers making rapid risk-based decisions in line with the National Decision Model and APP on Risk. Sophie Evans and James Lloyd were instructed by Mark Riley of MJR Solicitors and the Sussex Police Federation. Sophie Evans and James Lloyd act for police officers, professional regulators and individuals across the criminal and disciplinary spectrum, including accelerated misconduct hearings, gross misconduct hearings, IOPC investigations, and appeals.

!!𝗠𝗔𝗝𝗢𝗥 𝗔𝗡𝗡𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗖𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧!! We are delighted to share with you the news we have formally adopted @RoyalAirForce Retired Police MWDs into the NFRSA family. We were asked to consider the option some months ago, and with it being a huge step for us as a charity, we have approached it with care and consideration for both the RAF Police MWD sections (or bases), and the NFRSA. When we first launched in 2022 we supported three services, but we knew as we grew, we would be able to widen that assistance. The RAF Police MWD will be our eighth service - and we are incredibly proud to be welcoming these extraordinary Military Working Dogs, who have done so much to serve their country, to the family. In respect for other charities who have historically helped retirees from the RAF Police and have them registered with their organisations, we will be looking after newly retired RAF police MWDs going forward, and with this official partnership and the blessing of the handlers and @RAF__Police we are hugely excited about the future, and look forward to working alongside the RAF family. Thank you for your support as ever - because without you, we’d have never got this far. Our joint full statement is below. Here’s to a new era! @RAFHonington @RAFConingsby @RAFAkrotiri @RAFBrizeNorton @RAFLossiemouth @RAF_Marham @StnCdrHonington @DefenceHQ

This is brilliant! 🤣

The Captain of Air Force One asked us to touch up one or two areas of damaged paint on the fuselage prior to flying back. I'll tell you what, Benny in Maintenance has played an absolute blinder. They're going to be delighted.

Beggars belief that this government can spend nearly 6 million pounds daily on asylum seekers and yet healthcare and other public services struggle due to lack of funding

@ShortArmOfLaw @leicspolice Wonderful news and the start of a very impressive career I’m sure

It was a huge privilege to be invited to attend the @UK_COPS Annual Police Service of Remembrance at the @Nat_Mem_Arb yesterday. Attended by over 1,000 people, & Chief Constables from across the UK as well as senior officers, including @Glos_Police, and of course, the most important people, the families themselves. Lady B stood with the Chief Constable of @PoliceScotland as she waved on the 34 riders from her force, who joined hundreds of amazing cyclists from constabularies across the country @PolUnityTourUK, as well as over 100 riders from @BlueknightsUKIC It was an incredibly moving day as we heard from three brave family members who lost loved ones, their experiences were the nightmares none of us want to live through, yet they did. The Chief Constable of @WestYorksPolice also spoke in his capacity as a Trustee. UK Cops are an extraordinary charity. The day showed how much they do for survivors of the tragedy they’ve faced, and we have enormous respect for them all. So, this post is not about the NFRSA, but it celebrates the work of one of our colleagues, and we salute them. Look them up, they do so much. Please forgive the rather amateur video - we hope it gives you a flavour of a special & poignant day.

Violent thug who viciously assaulted cops is guilty. Will we see apologies from bandwagon-jumping MPs like @paulwaugh @LucyMPowell, 'experts' who immediately threw police under bus, & media who ran clip endlessly with no context? They aren't fit to polish our cops' boots!

BREAKING NEWS; Folks all I will say is look at that👇face; I bet @Keir_Starmer wished he was anywhere other than sitting listening to @realDonaldTrump telling him all the things that he is Shite at & why he is the most hated PM Britain has ever had👇😂

Oh well 30 seconds on the local news is better than nothing. #fabulousfinn However an hour special about a charity bike ride on Amazon Prime really shows what it means to do the hard yards. Better luck next time #thinbluepaw

Richly deserved congratulations Linda @ERPDF @The_NFRSA
