We’ve been a little quiet lately, working behind the scenes on a new & improved approach to delivering brilliant @WeCops chats!

BUT - we have an exciting announcement- 📣 SAVE THE DATE

Our 2nd @WeCops conference is coming to you from Paddington London on Friday 27th June 2025🥳

Sounds like me moaning to my boyfriend when I’ve got a horrible hangover! 🤣

Insta reels, if approved? Or would it mean people would be less likely to talk? Blogs? Outcomes, strategic groups or better at working groups? #WeCops

Q3. What do you do with the information that you gain from ethics committees? How do you translate this information to the public? #WeCops

I think ethics are ethics so you could feature data, but it’s a tough topic for many, perhaps it’s best to keep it to the experts?? That’s a bit ‘on the fence’ I know!! 🤣 #WeCops

Q2. Should data ethics be separate to general ethical principles, or can a committee cover both? #WeCops

Q1. What are your thoughts on forces/businesses using Ethics Committees? Have you been part of one? Does your work have one, police or not? #WeCops

I’d love to come and see one!! #Wecops on tour!

Funding*

Finally cancelled my X subscription - absolutely no way I am finding Musk a minute longer! The rhetoric coming over from the US is actually quite terrifying.
Inclusion is not ‘woke’ 😒

Make it a mandatory promotion criteria for CI and Supers. It would need careful attention to measurement of quality and effectiveness.

Question 4 and finally… from Graham Cole OBE better known as PC Tony Stamp from The Bill #WeCops

Question 3 from Dave Brewster, National lead for Operation Hampshire - officer assaults #WeCops

Question 2 from Andy Rhodes OBE QPM service director Oscar Kilo #WeCops

Question 1 from Sir Andy Marsh QPM CEO College of Policing #WeCops

Wecops this week is from the National Police Wellbeing Conference. The questions will be short videos from some influential people at the conference! #WeCops Join us at 9pm on Wednesday 4th December.

Conference life!!

Only a tiny fraction of followers here compared to over on X, but I’m going for quality over quantity!!
Who’s going to the Oscar Kilo conference tomorrow?

Finally had your training package today 🙌👍

Day 2 of teaching De-Escalation for Professional Policing at the State Preparedness Training Center in Oriskany, NY. Empowering officers with skills to handle critical situations with confidence and care. A fantastic facility dedicated to excellence in training. #DeEscalation #Policing #Training”

Up next we have @scottmair.bsky.social who discusses supporting Fathers Mental Health 💙 @BlueMinds_WG @jjsharpers.bsky.social

Very useful overview of Rick and Tom's proposals.

"In our estimation, the Government’s Safer Streets mission and efficiency agenda will be near-impossible to deliver without changes to the current governance and institutional frameworks."

The saving are needed to fund neighbourhood policing.

Not sure yet. The Home Sec did say prevention was one of her key priorities. Hopefully the white paper will set out more detail

How can we help women? #Perinatal #BlueMinds24 @jjsharpers.bsky.social

‘Perinatal’ means pregnancy up to a year after birth…
It’s believed 1 in 5 women suffer with a perimental mental health condition during pregnancy.
Once identified, the conditions are very treatable 🙌 #BlueMinds24

Thoughts on yesterday? I had sooo many things to listen to that I achieved very little!!

Why do all @sainsburys.bsky.social smell the same???

Excited to support @jjsharpers.bsky.social at the first Blue Minds conference - just getting in a cheeky coffee before we start ☺️
So proud of what this lady achieves 🥳🥳
