Case of true love for Aylesbury partners in crimefighting
Working for the police takes a certain kind of personal strength, resilience and dedication - much like marriage, some might say. But one couple from Buckinghamshire are proving the two institutions can go hand in hand successfully, together clocking up a combined 83 years' service for Thames Valley and Ed Ryan, both 69 and from Aylesbury, met and fell in love as young police officers on the beat in Chesham in the late partnership has endured long work shifts, career moves and departures to raise a growing family, and the two now work as civilians within the same police investigation team. Mrs Ryan joined the force in 1978 as a WPC and met Mr Ryan when she was 24 and he was 23, when they were both stationed at Chesham. She left the force to start their family but re-joined in 2000 as a Ryan, who signed up for service aged 19 in 1975, made the move from officer to civilian with the force in 2008. Mrs Ryan recalled that when she first met her husband, she could only see the back of his head. "He was nice, he was very kind and funny, but I also thought he was a little bit of a prat," she said."It wasn't until we had a party at my living accommodation in Amersham, that I got to know him." Mr Ryan said: "It did take some time, we just got to know each other like all good stories, and then we started to go out and meet after duty."Fifteen months later, in 1980, the couple married. No one knew of their relationship at the beginning as officers could not work together if they were partners, Mrs Ryan said."When we got engaged, I had to move," she revealed. "I did question it, I said 'hang on, is it because I'm a female, why isn't he moving', and that didn't go down very well. "I was then told, you can have his breakfast ready when he comes home."Despite having to navigate the misogyny of the time, Mrs Ryan said it was a job she loved and it was her "passion"."I liked the uniform, you had to wear a skirt, people saw the uniform first, I think it was smart and you could have a bit of command," she said. Mrs Ryan said: "When we started a family, it was a case of I couldn't continue working shifts, so I had to leave," she said. But she did return. After having two boys and two girls, Mrs Ryan rejoined the force in 2000, working part-time."It still drives me," she Ryan stayed with the force and his career progressed, leading to a move into left the force as an officer but also rejoined as a civilian in 2008. "I've always liked locking up the person who committed the crime and solving the crime", he said. Thames Valley Police also paid tribute to their commitment, saying: "It is often said that policing is a family, Ed and Madge take this a little more literally."Their adaptability, resilience, and dedication to public service has been a constant throughout their professional and personal lives, and they epitomise pride in TVP."We are equally proud that they are still part of that family after so many years."

Terrified woman slams disgusting act on the 'worst street in Melbourne'
A young woman has recalled the terrifying moment an elderly man exposed himself to her on Chapel Street as she shopped for a wedding dress. The bride-to-be was on the busy street - regarded as the city's most upmarket destinations for fashion - when the 'worst thing ever' happened last month. She was heading back to her car when a man approached her, undid his pants and exposed himself while she was waiting to cross the road. 'Today, I went to Chapel Street for the first time in a really long time and it has become so scary down there,' she said in a TikTok following the incident. 'I had to cross the road and I pressed on the traffic lights. It felt really eerie so I took a step back and put my back towards a shop front and I made a conscious effort to not be on my phone so I could like look at the surroundings. 'I am so glad I did because as I was waiting, about maybe two or three metres from me, a man stopped. He started playing with his fly... He then proceeded to undo his belt, his pants and I'm sure you can imagine what happened next.' The woman said she 'freaked out' and ran into a nearby shop for safety, with two workers quickly locking the door behind her. She waited for the man to leave before going straight to her car and driving home. The woman called police once she got home and provided them with specific details of what the man looked like and when and where the incident took place. She said the officer she spoke to asked her to come to the station to write a statement, which she was happy to do. But, the woman said she became uneasy when she learned her full name would have to be included in the official report. 'I asked if this man was going to know my details because I have to put all of that in the statement, they said 'yes, he will be provided with your name and everything',' she continued in the TikTok. The woman told police she did not want to provide her name but still wanted to report the incident to ensure it didn't happen to anyone else. She asked if officers could look up the CCTV in the area as she had provided specific details of the location but claims police simply said 'no'. 'They can't go looking into things unless I put my name to it, which will then go to this freak. They won't do anything,' the woman said. Daily Mail Australia has contacted Victoria Police about the incident. Social media users praised the woman for sharing her experience. One woman, who worked near Chapel Street claimed to know the man and said he had behaved in the same way to 'a lot of young women'. 'Same thing happened when my coworker was attacked at work, they wouldn't do anything because they wouldn't give their personal details even with CCTV footage from the street and our workplace,' she wrote. 'Why are they giving out private information to the offender? Sounds like the cop didn't want to assist & knew you would back down,' another wrote. A third chimed: 'And this, this is how women are not protected in the slightest. This is how women get hurt. I had a similar situation'. Others encouraged the woman to report the incident anonymously via Crime Stoppers. 'Your name goes into the report but it doesn't go to the man! Call the cop shop and speak to someone different,' one person wrote.
