Public - police relations improving?
Discussion
I'm a police officer and have been for around 13 or so years. In that time I have seen the relationship between the public and the police worsen.
However I have been on duty the last two days.
A child, encouraged by her parents crossed the road to high-five me earlier.
The public have waved and smiled.
People have stopped and chatted to us.
Someone even thanked us for "what your do" while I was buying a sandwich.
There has been bags of haribo handed in for us at the station by a youngster.
Is this because of Manchester? Is it better PR on our part? Or is it just the sun?
The feeling of support by the public has been great and long may it continue.
If you have smiled, waved, nodded or interacted positively with cops then thanks. We appreciate it.
