It is a job like no other – even if we only do it in our spare time!

You may recognise our Special Constable Susanne Majer from
one of the 24 Hours in Police Custody episodes. Susanne wrote a blog to share her experience as a Special Constable and a member of the Bedfordshire Police Force Contact Centre staff.

Every day you put that uniform on and start a shift, you are making a difference in the community, you may end up helping someone in a difficult situation or even save a life.

It is a job like no other – even if we only do it in our spare time!

Knives ruin lives – another knife off the streets

We carried out a weapons sweep on Monday; the force has been carrying these out this year as part of Operation Sceptre, our response to knife crime, but ours focussed on Bedford town centre in the run up to the River Festival at the weekend.

“I think you need to go and see a grown up.”

I joined Bedfordshire Police in 2006 and spent the first four years on response in Luton, before moving to the Road Policing Unit for the following eight.

At the beginning of March 2017, I was approaching two years in my dream role as Acting Sergeant of a brilliant team in the Roads Policing Unit. I knew from an early stage in my policing career that being on the Roads Policing Unit was my ambition because it is right at the forefront of pro-active policing. Taking on the role of A/Sgt and having such a fabulous team working for me was easily the proudest moment of my career.
