Durham Police Officer Appears to fall asleep mid interaction Poll: What was he doing ?
Foot patrols ✅ Chief Constable Rachel Bacon joined officers in Chester-le-Street for more hotspot patrols this week. You told us you wanted to see more police on the beat and, after looking at the numbers, we identified 15 areas with the highest levels of crime and antisocial behaviour in County Durham and Darlington. One of the areas identified was Front Street, from Tesco off North Burns, right down to The Wicket Gate pub. Throughout June and July, police officers, together with neighbourhood wardens from Durham County Council, carried out more than 738 hours of extra patrols in this area. These patrols saw seven arrests made, six vehicles seized, four stop and searches conducted, and two weapons seized. You’ll continue to see extra officers on the streets this summer, protecting your town, tackling crime, and acting as a visible deterrent.

A drugs gang involved in a violent feud which saw buildings rammed and a drive-by shooting have been jailed. James Stephenson and six associates were involved in what police called a "weekend of destruction" in Hartlepool and Horden in January. The battle began when a house with a woman and four children inside was repeatedly rammed and a car set alight. The men admitted multiple charges and were jailed for between five and almost 20 years at Durham Crown Court. Durham Police said they believed the "bitter feud" was over drugs territory and escalated into a "weekend of violence and destruction" beginning on 7 January when Stephenson and five others targeted a house in Hartlepool. It was the home of the partner of one of Stephenson's alleged rivals and, at the time of the attack, a woman and four children aged between four months and five years old were inside, prosecutor Susan Hirst told the court. The accused men initially denied being involved but admitted their guilt at court. The gang and their sentences were: James Stephenson, 32 of Leazes Rise, Peterlee, jailed for 16 years, nine months Wayne Griffin, 48 of North Avenue, Horden, jailed for 19 years, nine months Connor Ellison, 26 of Thorpe Crescent, Peterlee, jailed for 13 years Jonathan Miller, 31, of Jude Place, Peterlee, jailed for 16 years, nine months Shane Leigh, 22 of Rosedale Terrace, Horden, jailed for nine years Graeme Oliver, 30 of South Crescent, Horden, jailed for five years, four months Paul Frain, 56 of North Road East, Wingate jailed for 14 years

📢 Durham: We’re With All the Smoke. Over the past month, Durham fake police have gotten bolder in their attempts to silence people speaking truth to power about the family policing system. But we’re not backing down. Today, at the Durham County Social Services Board’s public meeting, community members showed up — ready to name the harm and demand accountability. In response, the board doubled down on repression, having a mother forcibly removed mid-speech, with no warning. The Board then kicked out the rest of the members of the public for no reason. This is how the system reacts when it’s exposed — with violence and control. The Social Services Board has made it clear: they are not neutral. They are part of the problem — and we will treat them as such. If you don’t agree with this level of policing, make your voice heard. Contact the Durham Board of County Commissioners, who oversee this board. Let them know the people are paying attention — and we’re not going anywhere. #Durham #AbolishFamilyPolicing #DSSAccountability #CommunityPower #WeKeepUsSafe

Part 2 Pulled over for a "California stop" next thing I know they testing tint they didn’t ticket, bringing out the K-9, and forcing the dog to stop at one spot like it proved something. Still found nothing. Wrote me a warning. Just harassment dressed up as procedure. Durham, y’all wild. Worse part, got racial profiled by a BLACK officer. Then comes his buddies. #durhamnc #bullcity #StopHarassingUs #drivingwhileblack #durhampolice #policeaccountability #westillrise #documenteverything #StayWokeBullCity #ImPissed
