First Shift

I completed my first shift in Whitehaven this weekend and managed to cover about 8 miles on foot patrol all around the NPT area. It was a very interesting and very rewarding night. It's amazing how much contact we got from the public with people saying how nice it was to see police on the streets in their area. It seems to make a real difference to people to see a police officer and it seems public reassurance is top priority at the moment! While regular colleagues were flying around to various emergency jobs we had time to engage with the public and really give something back. It was a long shift and my feet ache today but very worth while!!
