Would you like to help protect your bike this summer?

Then come along to one of our bike marking events!

🚲Cathedral Square, from 4.30pm until 6.30pm, on Tuesday, 16 June
🚲Cathedral Square, from 4.30pm until 6.30pm, on Thursday, 25 June

It will only take a few minutes of your time, and all you need to bring is your bike and frame number.

❓How does bike marking work?

A tamper-proof sticker will be put on the bike, acting as a visual deterrent to thieves. If the bike is stolen and then recovered by us, the chances of it being reunited with you is higher as it will be registered to the national cycle database.

More advice on how to protect your bike from theft can be found on our website 👉 https://orlo.uk/mUiq4

If you were a police call handler and you spotted a gap in support for people, what would you do? 👀 📱

For Shauna Wiles, the answer was easy 💡 and she was recently handed a commendation by our Chief Constable Simon Megicks for her work in supporting domestic abuse victims 🏆 🙌

While working in the Force Control Room, call handler Shauna provided vital advice to frontline officers, including safeguarding options and signposting to support services.

Through her work, she identified a significant gap in the emergency support available to domestic abuse victims who may need to leave their home suddenly, often at night and without access to essential personal items or a safe means of communication 🏠 😔

Shauna took it upon herself to develop a solution and drawing inspiration from a local scheme, she proactively sought donations from colleagues and, in her own time, assembled emergency support bags containing toiletries, sanitary products and other essential items.

She personally arranged for these bags to be distributed across stations for officers to provide to victims at the earliest point of contact 🥰

Determined to expand the scheme, Shauna contacted local businesses, securing generous donations from Tesco in Peterborough and the Amazon Peterborough distribution centre.

Their contributions included toiletries, sanitary products, children’s items, and even pre-paid mobile phones to ensure victims could communicate safely and independently. Further support came from colleagues, including handmade soft toys for children 🧸

Shauna has now left policing but thanks to her drive and compassion, these support bags are now in place across the force. Her actions demonstrate outstanding initiative, empathy, and a steadfast commitment to victim care. You can read more stories from our recent awards ceremony here: https://orlo.uk/Awards-News_DVbfw

Gregory Coulson, 32, of Lingwood Park, Longthorpe, has been jailed for life after murdering his mother, Carmen, at the home he shared with her in February last year.

He was ordered to serve a minimum tariff of 26 years in prison today at Huntingdon Law Courts.

Detective Inspector Mark Dollard said: “Carmen’s death is a tragedy for the rest of her family, who showed dignity throughout the trial, and my thoughts are with them at this incredibly difficult time."

Mum-of-two Gill became a Special to fulfil a long-standing ambition of working in a public-facing role where she could help people.

Gill graduated in April last year, and since then the flexibility of the role has allowed her to fit in shifts around her home life and career as an architect and engineering resource manager.

The minimum requirement is 16 hours per month, but she found herself wanting to do more.

Gill is one of the many volunteers supporting policing in Cambridgeshire we’re celebrating during national Volunteers' Week.

Amanda and her fellow Specials dedicated just under 27,000 hours to policing in the county in the past 12 months, while 53 police support volunteers gave more than 4,300 hours.

We’re recruiting for Specials so why not visit our website to find out more and apply https://orlo.uk/h0nta

Gill said: “I’m motivated by the opportunity to help people and make a positive difference in my community. Even small contributions can have a meaningful impact, and I find that incredibly rewarding.

“Becoming a Special constable has been an incredibly rewarding journey. It’s given me the opportunity to challenge myself, support my community, and fulfil an ambition I’ve had since I was younger. I would highly recommend it to anyone.”

Last week, three of our response officers helped a woman and a young boy who had broken down on the A47 close to Thorpe Wood on their way to get a McDonald’s breakfast.

We have received a message from the woman involved, who wanted to express her thanks to the “truly amazing” officers for the way they helped them during what was a very scary time being on the side of such a busy road.

In her message, she said that “all three were very friendly. From a really bad morning, they made my step-sons day. I couldn’t thank them enough.”

It's great when we receive such positive feedback from people our officers have helped – we're glad you are both okay and got your breakfast in the end 😉
