Are you OK? – Deborah Akinlawon QPM
As I pondered what to write for this month, I felt compelled to write about what the last year has been like for me. Why?
This last Sunday the National Police Memorial Service was held in Belfast, and as I type, I have just been informed of another loss of life in Dorset. Another officer.
The last few months in Policing have been difficult. We have lost so many people this year in Policing to accidents, crime, illness, and suicide, from Kent to Cleveland and in between.
