Good Evening Rutland,

🚔 It’s been an extremely busy six shifts for me across the entire Neighbourhood Policing Area (NPA) with a wide range of incidents, Policing Operations and events to keep me occupied. A quick roundup of some of the things I have been up to below: 🚔

The Rutland Dedicated Neighbourhood Team attended The Rutland County Show on Sunday, it was a fantastic opportunity to engage with the local, wider and rural communities. Rural Crime is a Neighbourhood Priority on my Rutland Rural North beat area – so our presence at this event was really worthwhile and important. If you attended, we hope you had a good day and thank you to everyone who came over and spoke with the team 🚜 🌾 🐑 🐖 🐴 🦌 🐄 🌾 🚜

🎵 🎙️ I was also involved elsewhere on the NPA for a few shifts to support the Policing Operation at The Forbidden Forest Music Festival, at Belvoir Castle. This was a large joint effort working with officers from all over the force area from multiple departments. Although I am a Dedicated Rutland Beat Officer, we do occasionally need to support other areas when there is a special event taking place. I was primarily involved in the community reassurance patrols around the villages in The Vale of Belvoir, it was good to engage with the rural communities there, but I was also used and on hand for incidents on site. If you attended the event we hope you had a safe and enjoyable time 💃 🕺

🚨 Other incidents I have been involved in that I can mention include, (but are not limited to!): 🚨

🚔 Assisting response officer colleagues with the search of a vulnerable person who required safeguarding intervention, found safe and well, relevant referrals completed ✍️

🔒 Arresting a person on suspicion of Possession with Intent to Supply Class A Controlled Drugs ‼️

🚑 Assisting colleagues in the ambulance service by responding to a person in mental health crisis in a public place, relevant support and care provided by medical professionals 🤝

🚨 Responding to a report of an intruder at a property, thankfully everything was in order and it was a call of good intent 👍

🚔 Responding to a report of arson in a rural location elsewhere on the NPA outside of Rutland and assisting response colleagues in the arrest of 3 persons located near to the scene. Thankfully no one was hurt, injured or endangered 🚒  🚓

🔍 Then in-between all of this, I have been visiting victims of crime, providing support, reassurance and advice, as well as progressing enquiries and my ongoing case load of investigations 👮🏻‍♂️

As always, thank you for your continued support. It’s my last shift tonight before a few much needed R&R days – but don’t worry, you’ve got the rest of the Rutland team and our 24/7 response teams keeping you safe! 😃

PC 1049 Jake Spruce  👮🏻‍♂️
