On Friday Chief Constable Watson visited Armed Forces Community HQ with myself, Chief Supt Jenkins & Sgt Flitcroft to see 1st hand the work that supports our most vulnerable evterans. Afterwards we were treated to classic Veterans Breakfast. #armedforcescovenant



Had a Teams call today with PC Lark and PC Moody from Royal Gibraltar Police. Both members of RGP armed forces networr, they are really keen to set up a referral pathway for vulnerable veterans officers come in contact with in Gibraltar. Looking forward to helping get this off the gorund




I caught up with Garrie Stockley who I’ve known through Greater Manchester Police for over 20yrs. Garrie who is ex Royal Navy before GMP, had to retire on medical grounds. It was amazing to hear how The Spearhead Foundation went round to his house to get him out after 6 months and he’s never looked back.


It’s been along time in the planning but I’m so looking forward to this challenge with Greater Manchester Police Royal Gibraltar Police and Lancashire Police officers. chronicle.gi/rgp-officers-j…




I’m delighted the right outcome was achieve, it’s all about communication. Healthier Heroes CIC have a great professional relationship with Greater Manchester Police & when we need to work together to make sure a vulnerable veterans needs are considered, cases like this get the right outcome for everyone.

We did it….. 3 countries, 2 continents, & the Straits of Gibraltar crossed & the 2 Pillars of Hercules conquered in 15 hours. Almost £12k raised for military and police veterans who have experienced trauma through service. Walking With The Wounded 🎖️ Police Care UK givewheel.com/fundraising/25…




I chaired the Greater Manchester Police HMPPS Veterans in the Justice System group today. An informal group set up 2 yrs ago to bring together those who work in this area in our region. Not to change policies, just to exchange views, ideas and discuss blockages. So productive. #Collaboration


Had a welfare 1-2-1 with Greater Manchester Police armed forces network member. Told me what he'd experienced on many combat tours & how it affects him. He controlled his emotions until I asked how his family were coping. So glad he reached out. Lots of support accepted including Op NOVA



Proud to call this man a Greater Manchester Police colleague. Ryan's spent 20+ years in the Gtr Manchester ACF as a cadet & a cadet leader & he is a response officer in GMP. At a recent event, the army cadet leaders could not speak highly enough of him. He's influenced so many young people for the better


Another cohort of veteran case workers given training by Greater Manchester Police Hostage & Crisis Negotiator team on how to de-escalate a situation where a veteran is in crisis & at risk of taking their life. Saving just one veterans life who is in their darkest hour makes it all worth while
