For the past five years, Craig Jones has been living two lives. From Monday to Friday, he’s been working his day job at Public Health Wales, but at weekends he’s been kitted up in his Dyfed-Powys Police uniform, ready to respond to whatever the shift throws at him. Craig has been one of a team of Special Constables, giving up his time as a voluntary police officer to keep his community safe. As he gets set to hang up his uniform for the last time, Craig has urged anyone thinking about becoming a Special to go for it and apply.
1/1 MORE than 470 people have signed an online petition calling for action to prevent people jumping off the Itchen Bridge in Southampton. Campaigners say suicide prevention measures should be taken on the bridge, which is reported to have seen more than 200 deaths since it opened in 1977. Three years ago 2,500 people signed a petition calling for barriers to be installed to prevent people from taking their own lives. As reported in the Daily Echo, another petition has been launched in a bid to persuade the city council to take action. Petition organiser Graham Flooks said: Southampton City Council happily takes tolls from vehicles crossing the bridge but is doing nothing to prevent the suicides that are happening all too frequently.
