8th January 2023

Caught two cases today. One was a violent home invasion which Ted and Freya have taken, and the other domestic abuse. While we would sometimes leave these sorts of cases to the Hit Wizards, both cases were extremely violent and we haven't had a large case in quite a while. As there aren't as many of us, I got to join Ron on the domestic case. It was pretty traumatic, she'd been hospitalised and they weren't sure if she would be released before next week. These sorts of cases are always hard, but it's harder when there are kids involved. For the time being the kids are in temporary care and we will be strengthening the family wards in the meantime. Hopefully she'll take her partner to court.

It was nice to work with Ron in the field again. He lightens the situation, without him I think I'd have spent the day in a foul mood.
