Many articles on #VAWG etc. describe traumatic content without considering its effect on readers. V. refreshing to see Glitch' report actively acknowledging how heavy the content it exposes is and reminding readers to pause and breathe #reportwritinggoodpractice

Neighbourhood policing is a philosophy all in policing should stick to...It's about seeing everyone as human. Having the same officers in a sector each day, so the public know them and know they're working to solve local problems. Chief Terry Monahan on what drives #TrustandConfidence in policing

It's a big day for policing, but more importantly it's a big day for my four-year-old. The first time in his memory he's woken up to snow. The snowball fight with his friends while awaiting the school bus was far more exciting than the rare sight of a police car driving through the village.
