Great day at the @CJInnovation conference on effective community justice for women. Every day is a school day and am coming away with some ideas from others to improve things for women who come into contact with the CJS.
Been speaking to magistrates in south London this evening with @WIP_live about out of court resolutions and the London Women's Diversion Service. Great opportunity to talk about the benefits of diversion and inform magistrates how police make case disposal decisions.

The UK terrorist threat level has been raised to SEVERE – meaning an attack is highly likely.
For you, the public, this means remaining alert but not alarmed.
If you see anything that doesn’t feel right report via gov.uk/ACT.
In an emergency always call 999.
As the son of a firefighter, I have seen the grief felt across the fire service when a colleague is lost in the line of duty. To lose two firefighters in such tragic circumstances is absolutely heartbreaking. My thoughts and prayers are with their families and colleagues.

As someone formally responsible for Public Order Training for the Met, I can say with confidence that the narrative being put around re this video is nonsense. The training shown is designed to test officers in worst-case scenarios.
A video of officers doing public order training is being widely shared with inaccurate commentary claiming it shows us preparing for disorder with right wing groups.
We've set out some facts below.
ALT All the scenarios used at the training centre are fictional – made up places, made up people etc. They don’t involve real political or other affiliations. Training staff playing characters in the scenarios wear old scrap clothing given it doesn’t last long in the environment they work in. The fact one of the t-shirts has a union flag on it is entirely coincidental. It’s disappointing we are increasingly having to challenge this sort of misinformation which only serves to increase divisions and tensions.

Recently been receiving scam/phishing text messages. The latest relates to winter fuel allowances and claims to be from the 'home office'! If you receive a suspicious text message DON'T click on links, report it and block it.
Been at the NPCC Out of Court Resolutions event in Birmingham. Great to speak with colleagues from other forces and organisations. What we need now is a go-live date so we can start getting things really moving
Congratulations on your successful bid. We look forward to continue working with you to increase and innovate the use of RJ in London.
27 years ago today, I joined the Met. Passing out from Hendon was a very proud moment for me. I'm still proud of what I do. It has extra resonance today being Father's Day, as I remember my late dad and his service in the London Fire Brigade

Have a great time this weekend, but remember to stay safe.
Report anything that doesn't feel right to an officer or online in confidence at gov.uk/ACT.
Always call 999 in an emergency.

This is an inaccurate headline that will only fuel community concerns.
The decision to cover the memorial was taken by park authorities, not the police.
As the paper’s own article makes clear, it is a precaution Royal Parks have taken for a number of different events.
