We are aware of some comments on a recent post highlighting some grammatical errors. Whilst we accept the public would expect our posts to be accurate we will not be editing or correcting the post.
The officer that published the post PC 2705 is a dedicated officer and valued member of our Neighbourhood Policing Team, who strives to serve his community and make Cumbria safe. Prior to joining Cumbria Police he served his country with pride in the Armed Forces and since joining our team has worked tirelessly to support veterans and cadet groups. His grandfather also served as a Police Constable in what was then Cumberland and Westmorland Constabulary so he is proud to follow in his grandfather’s footsteps.
PC 2705 is also dyslexic, so writing these posts does not come naturally to him but he is keen to do so to highlight the excellent work he does on a daily basis to serve his community. The reason we will not be editing this post as we believe it highlights those with hidden disabilities who have to work hard on a daily basis to cope with them. We hope that PC 2705’s achievements serve as an inspiration to others and encourage them to follow their dreams 😊

Accept the presence of the thought and practice directing your attention to the present moment 🍃
It can be there or not be there; it doesn’t matter. Your job is not to try and solve the problem 🦋
