Bahamas Cruise

Leslie Davidson
– Northern Ireland
During a well-earned, post retirement Caribbean cruise, Leslie Davidson’s
ship visited the Bahamas.
During his trip ashore, he had the pleasure of meeting the Commissioner
of Bahamas Police, Mr Ellison Greenslade.
The Commissioner sends his regards to all the people
of Northern Ireland.
Nottinghamshire Police
were recently
involved with a number of activities
to show their
support and promote
Deaf Awareness week.
The events included:
•
A multi-agency partnership information event at Nottinghamshire
Deaf Society designed to increase understanding of rights to
access health and care services. To support this event, a video
was showcased promoting the work of the Street Triage Team with
British Sign Language (BSL) interpretation.
•
At the end of the week, we attended Mansfield Deaf Centre during
their social evening to talk to the members. Local PCSO’s Craig
Moore and Stevie Willets were accompanied by PCSO Laura Cooper,
who conducts beat surgeries at the Nottingham Deaf Centre.
•
This month we said a fond farewell to Gloria Pullen, who has been
a great supporter for Nottinghamshire Police over many years,
giving hours of voluntary time to advise and assist us to improve our
understanding and contact with the Deaf community.
Gloria is Deaf and has been involved in work between Nottinghamshire
Police and our Deaf community for many years. She was thanked by all,
including Chief Constable Chris Eyre who personally thanked her for all
the hard work, dedication and support she has provided.
