One of my favourite stories: "People don't bore me. I like people." "Nobody's creepy from the inside, Hazel. Some of them are sad, and some of them hurt, and some of them think they're the only real thing in the whole world. But they're not creepy."

I'm going to get personal. It's been +20 years since I saw my Italian cousin. He and his family saw me at work yesterday. He said repeatedly how happy he is to see me and proud of my work. His kids kept holding my hand. It's been a while since I felt like family. 💙

Very humbled. It's the bday of one of our local drag queens, and they said on the mic: "That's Andy! He's one of our local 👮‍♂️! Don't back away. He's a good one! He looks after the whole area for us." 💙 Such an honour. ☺️

Custody skipper made me laugh. Him: "What is he in for?" Me: "Contravening Section 8 of the Misuse of Drugs Act" Him * looks surprised* "Oh, someone's been picking up on Blackstone's!" 😂😂😂😂😂 Probably one of my favourite custody skippers, he always makes me laugh.

Experiences come to play. I come from Brazil so I know what "oppression" looks like. People against a wall. I volunteered helping drug addicts so I try to see a little bit beyond "the moment". But I'm old and that came with experience and a choice. Favourite quote by

A huge thank you to colleagues who stopped when I flagged them down to point out someone displaying odd behavior. I suspect some MH and felt concerned about the chap. could you thank the team for me, please?

I woke up to this lovely email about how the victim felt about the incident and I'm so glad to know they felt supported. This is the kind of story that you don't hear about, that don't make the papers and that don't become popular on social media.

Last night in Soho (see what I did there?). Tough shift with a lot going on. We meant to finish at 6 am! Working with my colleague, we traced and captured the suspect of an assault, while the victim was at scene. They were so grateful for the help! Such a good job! 😊💙

Treated my team today ahead of tonight's night shift. Yesterday was a little busy with a nasty last call! So proud of the teamwork yesterday! Anyway, I've always been known as a feeder! 🙈🙈🙈😂😂😂

Literally squealed when I saw Barbie and Martin Ten Bones. I hope The Doll's House is featured in this season! I can't wait to see Death, Dream and so many other amazing characters come to life. Oh and as Morningstar on 😍😍😍 Love 😍

It's never just a dream. Neil Gaiman and the Executive Producers behind THE SANDMAN tell the story of how they approached bringing the world of the iconic graphic novel to life at long last.

If you know, you know...it's been one hell of a busy shift! At least I can rest a little now... One hour until I'm done and then I'm back in the afternoon...😱 Merry Xmas...😬

You're wrong. But hey well done for encouraging people to hate on a stranger. Reminds me of a great quote: "Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people." — Eleanor Roosevelt.

Don't be naive. If you pay for the Brazilian rainforest would you also have a say on the indigenous tribes who live there that have little contact with the outside world? If anything it's their territory and it should be left alone as respect rather than cost.

Over the last week 6 colleagues have been assaulted, 3 badly injured. These are incredible people who are not only missed in the team, they also have unique skills that we need. They have a, and are family. We come to work to help people, injury is not part of that.

Police Twitter, I have a question. As a Sergeant, do you have the time to do frontline work? Can you nick etc? PCs - how would you feel about a supervisor doing frontline work?

Brilliant to meet the very first black gay police officer who paved the way for so many of us. I'm so proud to call this man a friend with so much love for neighbourhood policing. "Home beat is the place to be!" 💙👏

Great to catch up with @andyluvv a local police officer in Soho and as we walked and talked it was nice to see how many people in the community came up to talk with him with warmth. Community policing at its best. We need more of this. Thanks for your time Andy.

I love my colleagues. They know I'm always out, so when I asked for a unit, I was shocked when control went: "You've got 5 running to you!" Me: "Thank you! But just the one, please!" 🫣 Those moments when you know people got your back are one of the many reasons I love the job.

Spent my morning with the awesome controllers and dispatchers that look after us. Brought some gifts too, as thank-you! Super cool to see their work and how they also have access to live CCTV. Thanks to all headset heroes in the country, looking after us 😊💙

Tonight was AWESOME. I took a call. Control: "Are you on your own?" "Yeah...!" "Bless you! Call us if you need it!" Later: "Control, can I get back-up?" *A colleague calls to help, but far* *Inspectors voice* "GO HELP!" *Units assigned* Love our controllers!

Kind moment of today - told 2 women with marathon medals "WELL DONE!" Their response was, "Thank you! And thank you for everything you do!" I don't expect thank you, but it's so nice when it happens! 🥹

I love the start to it, so many need to understand that: "To be transgender is not a lifestyle choice. It is not a fad or a craze. It is not easy, but requires courage and commitment. It is a part of who you are, like being gay, and, as such, denial of it can be annihilating."

Ever since losing my parents, mothers and fathers day and Christmas are bittersweet events for me. But today, I'm remembering dad with prosciutto. The Italian delicacy he'd always bring us as a treat. It hardly feels like 20 years. 💙
