Our dedicated 𝐖𝐈𝐒𝐄 𝐀𝐒𝐁 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐬, representing Birmingham City Council, are currently on active patrol alongside the British Transport Police at the New Street Train Station under the Network Rail umbrella. These officers are here to enhance the visibility of law enforcement through their uniformed presence and collaborative efforts with partner agencies. This approach is proving to be highly effective in curbing instances of Anti-Social Behavior. The Waste Investigations Support and Enforcement (WISE) team continues to work diligently in partnership with local authorities and the British Transport Police, prioritizing community safety and reducing instances of Anti-Social Behavior. This collaborative effort underscores our commitment to intervention, enforcement, and providing support services for our community. #ASB #ASBOfficers #CommunitySafety #Travel #TrainStation #BTP #Council #LocalAuthority #PartnershipWorking #ReduceASB #Intervention #Enforcement #SupportServices

In 2023, 45 people sadly lost their lives on road networks across Staffordshire. Every single one of these could have been avoided, which is why our new road crime team are committed to working proactively to enforce and promote road safety amongst local motorists. Inspector Sion Hathaway, from our new specialist unit, said: “One of our main priorities in Staffordshire is reducing the number of people killed and seriously injured on our roads. The four biggest contributors to road casualties are called the ‘fatal four’. They include drink and drug driving, using a mobile phone at the wheel, speeding and not wearing a seatbelt.” On average each year, 5,490 people are killed or seriously injured nationally because of these fatal four causes. Local communities can expect officers to be regularly carrying out proactive enforcement, holding engagement events with drivers across the county and committing efforts to championing road safety in local communities. #StaffordshirePolice #Staffordshire #Police

Regulators often say "the cost of non-compliance can be much higher than the cost of compliance" and today we saw it in action. Woolworths received a record $1,227,000 fine in the Victorian Magistrates court today after admitting to underpaying almost $1m in long service leave to their most loyal workers. It is the largest ever penalty handed down for non-compliance with Victoria's LSL laws. Underpayments have a flow on effect. The proper payment of basic entitlements is not just money in the bank - it's food on the table, clothes for the kids, the ability to pay rent and the basis of making informed financial decisions. Wage Inspectorate Victoria have ensured Woolworths, who made $1.62b in profit last FY, have been held strongly to account. With those types of resources at their disposal, there's no good reason for such a systemic, wide-spread failure. Presser:👇🏼

Stories like this are still far too common, where officers face termination or disciplinary action simply for asking for help or sharing that they are experiencing mental health struggles. First responders are human being, human beings who are asked to be repeatedly exposed to trauma and then expected to go back out there and do it again. Every first responder, whether they work for a small or large agency, should have access to competent mental health resources. By competent I mean mental health providers who have training in and an understanding of what first responders face and the unique challenges of the profession. Leadership, many of whom entered in the “suck it up era” need to adapt and understand that “suck it up” leads to illness, substance abuse, and suicide.

Good job San Jose Police Department in identifying, tracking down and arresting these people responsible for an attack on an Officer during a vehicle sideshow on June 15, 2024. During this incident, the suspects got on top of the patrol vehicle, stomped on the windshield, struck the side windows, and attempted to pull open the doors. At least one suspect threatened the officer, saying they had knives, officials said. The officer sustained minor injuries due to the incident and was unable to respond to the emergency he was initially headed to. Sideshows have become a major public safety issue across the nation. Their actions cause extreme hazards to other vehicles on the road as well as pedestrians and the congestion they crease causes delays in police and fire emergency responses. Law Enforcement needs to continue to make their response to sideshows a priority and crack down hard on these people. Their compete disregard for the safety others and the feeling that they are above the law has gone on too long. #police #policeofficer #officers #officers #lawenforcement #lawenforcementofficer #sheriff #policechief #deputy #fbi #criminallaw #law #crime #criminials #copscountpolicematter #policematter #policingmatters #publicsafety #criminaljustice #cop #cops #policemen #backtheblue #trafficsafety #publicsafety International Association of Chiefs of Police Police Executive Research Forum Major Cities Chiefs Association FBI National Academy Associates, Inc.

With two court cases now underway in relation to fatal attacks at this year’s Notting Hill Carnival, and the Metropolitan Police’s public order lead highlighting that officers at the event are increasingly being drawn into stewarding rather than policing roles, Policing Insight’s Graham Wettone looks at continuing concerns around the location and increased crowd numbers attending the event, and warns of the growing risk of a public safety disaster unless changes are made. ❝If you are brave enough to suggest any form of reduction, relocation or even cancellation you are likely to be labelled as being racist.❞ ❝Policing has been forced to evolve into managing and prioritising safety issues caused by overcrowding and the inherent dangers of crushing, to the detriment on occasions of preventing and detecting crime.❞ ❝The reality is that crime figures would be higher if they were linked to crimes resulting from those travelling to or attending carnival and not restricted to those within the geographical footprint of the event.❞ ❝The responsibility for safety rests with the event organisers, but they have already admitted that for 2024 they did not have sufficient resources to meet those requirements and so the police had to step in.❞ ❝If we are able to use officers to deal with their core responsibilities linked to crime, disorder, keeping the King’s peace and saving life, rather than others’ core responsibilities linked to crowd safety or first aid or wayfinding, then we may have a better chance of reducing crime.❞ - AC Matt Twist, Met Police ❝Huge crowds will attend, crushing will take place, and police officers and organisers will hold their breath on several occasions and hope that nothing disastrous happens. Public safety should not rest on the delicacies of community feelings or historic reasons – lives are far more important than that.❞ [SUBSCRIBER ARTICLE] https://lnkd.in/eG9wPWAe #lawenforcement #policing #police #publicorder
