Attacks on ambulance crews in Guernsey are rare, however sadly they do happen from time to time. Our teams come to work to serve the community and to provide care and compassion to patients. Our staff should never feel threatened or be subjected to any form of abuse. All incidents of physical and verbal aggression are unacceptable and will be taken seriously.

With England now in the semi-finals of the World Cup, our work around the tournament continues. Operation Circle, our summer and World Cup drink drive campaign has been well underway, and to date, officers have stopped 132 vehicles for spot checks and made six drink-drive arrests.
Operation Caribou, our general work around the World Cup, has also continued with high visibility patrols taking place across the island, however we're pleased to say there has been no significant increase in anti-social behaviour or instances of drunk and disorderly. In fact, we've had excellent cooperation from the public and have worked closely with private businesses to ensure public safety is the top priority while enjoying the event. Thanks to this the policing of the event has been going smoothly.
It remains a sad fact that domestic abuse spikes across the UK during every football tournament, especially when 'home' teams lose, and we've been working closely with our partner agencies to be ready to support anyone who comes forward to make a report.
As we all get ready for the round of four, we will continue to be policing the island and looking after the community. We're here to help if you need it, and you can contact officers on 01481 222 222, or in an emergency, on 999.

Flying Christine crew members are remembering their friend and former fellow volunteer John Vaudin who died recently.
A memorial sticker has been added to the floating car as a tribute to his service to the marine ambulance.
John’s friends and family have been organising collections in aid of the Flying Christine in John’s memory. Our thoughts are with John’s friends and family.
The floating car is set to embark on a fundraising challenge to sail from Guernsey to Herm and Sark later this year.

Please see below statement from Sark Fire & Rescue Service, Guernsey Fire & Rescue Service, Ambulance & Rescue Service Guernsey:
“Sark Fire & Rescue Service and Guernsey Fire & Rescue Service have today deployed firefighters to assist the multi-agency response in tackling a gorse fire on Little Sark, which started this morning.
“At the time of this statement, the fire is believed to cover an area of approximately 20,000 msq, but it is now under control and fire crews will continue to dampen down. Crews do not expect it will spread further.
“No properties were directly affected by the fire, and water jets are in position to protect those buildings if needed.
“Unfortunately, five firefighters from Guernsey were injured shortly after arriving in Sark, while travelling to assist at the scene.
“All five have been assessed by Sark doctor and first responders as having non-life threating injuries. Guernsey Ambulance & Rescue supported with the response, sending the Flying Christine III to Sark with a medical crew and incident officer on board. They were met at the harbour by the Sark Ambulance. The firefighters have been transferred to Guernsey’s Emergency Department, via the marine ambulance, for further treatment. Two road ambulances, a patient transfer vehicle and operational commander were waiting for them at St Peter Port harbour to transfer them to the Princess Elizabeth hospital. The five firefighters are also expected to be discharged from the PEH today.
“Additional firefighters have been deployed to Sark on board the Flying Christine III to maintain the emergency response.
“The current north/north easterly wind direction means that the fire is not expected to spread, as it is blowing out to sea.
“We would like to thank the emergency services, volunteers and island community for their support and assistance during this challenging incident. All agencies worked well together to respond to those affected by the incident. Our thoughts remain with our injured colleagues, and our hopes are for a full and speedy recovery.”
