Yesterday, my trainee nurse daughter was heading back from Blackpool to her place near Liverpool, crying baby on board, tired after a long day. Halfway, she was low on fuel and stopped at a garage, and was horrified to find she had forgotten her purse. She went into the shop, crying, worried that she was stranded far from home, to try to see if there was any way she could somehow get some fuel. She was doubly nervous because she had been the victim of an assault a few years ago.

The guy behind her said "that's OK, Miss, here's £20 to get you home.". She turned round and it was a serving officer from the Lancashire force. She gratefully asked if she could have his address, station or whatever to return it, and he said "No, don't worry. We're all as shellshocked by what happened to Sarah Everard as everyone else, and it's nice to be able to show we're not all the way we're sometimes painted.". What a kind guy.

My daughter got home, and wrote to the Chief Constable of Lancashire to thank the officer.

I just wanted to say a warm thanks to that police officer, and all the police who have been helping to keep us safe during Covid. It is reassuring to know they are as horrified by the one bad egg who has figured in the headlines as we all are. I'm sure there's many police here on Fab, and while "police brutality" is shouted out by the tabloids after incidents like that at Clapham Common, they don't shout about all the rest of it - the quiet role the police play in keeping Britain a safe place to be, and the thoroughly decent women and men they are.

Very well said.

Thanks for posting.

People easily forget how hard a job policing is.

It's very easy to police good people

Thank you for posting.

The police together with other public service workers get abuse all the time and are expected to accept it while keeping us all safe.

I for one appreciate the work they do - the fact I'm a sucker for a uniform has nothing to do with anything

And just to add, she's just received a very nice reply back from the Chief Constable's Staff Officer.

Funny I was going to post something today in support of the police...and this lovely tale beat me to it. In yet another effort to foment unrest the media are gleefully sticking the boot in about the policing of an illegal gathering that has been taken over by those that have nothing to do with the poor lady whose memory it was in.

Along with so many front line staff who do such a great job in the face of a less than appreciative media and and even less appreciative public. There's lots of good out there if we just let it see the light of day. Thanks to you for doing a thankless task.

The good people are lost too often to the noise of others!

Beautiful story and go on the officer concerned!

Good police officers don't make headline news.

We have family members in the met who run towards danger when other people are running away from it, yet dare not wear their uniform to or from work for fear of "reprisal" .

Good to hear your daughter's experience
