🎙️ New Podcast Episode: 24 Hours in Cambs Custody
Ever wondered what happens behind the doors of a custody suite? It’s about more than detention — it’s about safety, dignity, and respect.
Custody Sergeant Tim Kirkby explains:
“If you treat someone with respect and dignity when they come in, I think they are more likely to respond to that.”
Our latest episode explores how the team works tirelessly to ensure safe detention and prevent harm, while supporting investigations and upholding the law.

It's common for housemates to have disagreements - especially when it comes to the washing up. 🧽 🍽️

But an argument about the washing up doesn't often end in a physical fight, and one housemate stabbing the other in the head about it 🤨

That's what happened between Lloyd Heffernan, 54, and his former housemate in February of last year. Heffernan has just been jailed for one year and eight months following the attack.

Can you help us? 🤔

Yesterday afternoon (15 December), at around 3.15pm, we assisted an elderly gentleman in the city centre.

A while later, we found some shopping bags in our van that we believe had been left behind by the man and could be Christmas presents.

One of the priorities that our northern neighbourhood team have been working towards over the past few months is tackling bike thefts in Bretton and West Ward.

As part of their work to address this issue, they are holding two bike marking events!

🚲Bretton Centre, between 4.30pm and 5.30pm, on Monday (22 December)
🚲Peterborough City Hospital, between 6pm and 8pm, on Monday (22 December)

❓ 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.
All you have to do is meet us with your bike, it is a completely free event and will only cost you a few minutes of your time.

Advice on how to protect your bike from theft can be found on our website 👉 https://orlo.uk/W7LXN

Two of our PCSOs were joined by Inspector Sam Tucker and Chief Inspector Steve Ashton at a community engagement event at the Bharat Hindu Samaj Temple in Millfield last week.

We were there to meet with members of the Temple and talk to them about any concerns they had while enjoying a lovely lunch.

Events like this give us the opportunity to engage with different members of the community and talk to them about the work we have been doing in the area.

Thank you so much for inviting us, it was great to meet you all!

What does a shield, a first aid kit, and some cones have in common? 🤔

These are all things that can be found in a police car! 🚔

The children at Stars Pre-School in Dogsthorpe had a great time exploring the equipment we carry and having a look inside our vehicle.

Turning the lights and sirens on was so popular with the children that Bobby the Bear had to have a go! 🐻🚨

Thank you for inviting us and we hope you all enjoyed the visit! 😁

Forget Christmas, what’s on your birthday list? Bet it isn’t more than five years in prison. 🥳

Well, that’s exactly what Frankie Fitzgerald, 29, got earlier this week when he was jailed on his birthday for dealing co***ne and cannabis in Peterborough.

In October officers from the Neighbourhood Support Team found co***ne, cannabis, an extendable baton and a stolen moped at his home in Stanground.
