Whitehaven Town

Evening everyone,

Sorry it is taking me a few days to get some blogs put up but struggling with time at the moment! I thought I would give you all an update of the things I did this weekend and hopefully keep it interesting for you.

I was out on duty on Friday night with a regular cop assisting him with patrolling the whole local area. The regular Sgt had paired us up and initially sent us to the hospital to deal with a high risk detainee, luckily one of the other local units was already dealing so we got to continue patrolling the streets. The area we Police is quite a large area, during the night we travelled from Whitehaven through Cleator Moor, Egremont, Sellafield and Calderbridge, if you don't know the geography that is an area roughly the size of Salford!! Quite a big patch to Police. We only covered around 1/4 of our patch that night. It was a busy night in all and we topped it off with a drugs warrant on a local property. While I cant go in to details a male was arrested for possession of a controlled substance with intent to supply. It was a job involving many Police officers and took quite a while to sort afterwards. It just goes to show people drugs don't pay!

We attended several grade 1 listed calls but the majority were calm when we arrived. With us being on such a big patch it is a long way from one IR to another meaning we sometimes get there after other units. The shift ended with relatively low amounts of paperwork but with a successful result. Back out again this coming weekend so hope to give you more thrilling tales.

Thanks. Nick. West S/Sgt.
