According to The Sun, a long-serving Metropolitan Police officer in his 50s has been found dead at Kensington Police Station, just days before he was due to face misconduct proceedings after failing a workplace alcohol test.
When is the government going to get a grip on the welfare crisis facing our police officers?
We need greater compassion and understanding from police leaders, particularly when officers may already be struggling with their mental health or personal circumstances.
Our thoughts are with his devastated family, friends and colleagues.
Please sign this petition. We need to pause disciplinary proceedings:

In truly tragic news I’ve been informed that another Metropolitan Police Officer has died. PC Danny Martin 4687AW sadly died yesterday. 😔
Thinking of PC Martin’s friends, family, loved ones and of course his colleagues too at this incredibly sad time. 🫡

We want to say a huge thank you to Amanda Evitts for her incredible courage and strength.
Not only has Amanda worked with us to honour Owen through his profile on the It Stops Now Wall of Remembrance, but she has also bravely shared her story with @ITV to help shine a light on the issues we are fighting to change.
The ITV report has now been picked up across several regions and there is growing interest in police misconduct procedures and what really goes on behind closed doors.
These are conversations that desperately need to happen.
We are incredibly grateful to have Amanda, alongside other bereaved families, standing with us as we push for change.
Their courage, voices and the memories of those they have lost are at the very heart of It Stops Now.
We will keep telling their stories, asking difficult questions and pushing for change.

Another officer acquitted but had his career destroyed and ultimately took his life.
When will the CPS’s “but it’s in the public interest” when conviction is unlikely, be examined and should prosecutors themselves face questions.
Shame on the system and shame on forces.

TPD ‘s Xanto, Reggie and Vecna all now have a good understanding of the stand off exercise where the fleeing criminal stops running and surrenders.

TPD’s Xanto, Reggie and Vecna are 3 exceptional dogs who I have no doubt will become excellent Police dogs. They are all at a very high standard & still have 3 months of training to go

On Tuesday Another Excellent training session with TPD’s Ronnie, Reggie, Vecna and Xanto. The terrible news is we do not have a single dog handler needing a dog on the January Initial course. In 35 yrs we’ve never had this This means we may have to sell the dogs to other forces.
