I had the pleasure of accompanying PCs David and Alex as they responded to calls from the public on their shift, including to a drink-driving incident that thankfully no one was hurt in. It was fascinating to spend several hours with them talking about their experiences and the pressures on them as they serve the public. Thames Valley Police now has more officers than ever before with 582 new officers recruited since 2019, but there is always more to do. Thanks to both of them for letting me ride along.
