EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the essence of community policing, this poignant print showcases the changing of guards in Lostwithiel, Cornwall. In May 1990, a fresh face enters the scene as Martin Bennett (left) takes over from PC Chris Jewells (right), who faithfully served the town for six years before his transfer to Bodmin. The image radiates with a sense of continuity and dedication as these police officers symbolize the unwavering commitment to public safety. Martin, aged 33 at the time, is no stranger to Lostwithiel; having lived there all his life, he brings an intimate understanding of its unique dynamics. Having spent three years stationed in Tywardreath prior to this role, he possesses valuable experience that will undoubtedly benefit his new community. The photograph captures both officers donning their uniforms with pride - a uniform that represents not only their authority but also their connection to centuries-old traditions rooted deeply in Cornish history. Their helmets gleam under the sunlight while badges glimmer on their chests like beacons of trust and security. Through this snapshot frozen in time by photographer Jonathan Barker, we witness more than just two individuals transitioning roles; we glimpse into a broader narrative encompassing law enforcement's vital role within society. This image serves as a reminder of our reliance on emergency services and highlights how dedicated individuals like Martin and Chris ensure our communities remain safe.
