THE CHRISTMAS breakfast, traditionally held every year by the Hackney Police, this year was held at Urfa Ocakbasi Restaurant in Stoke Newington.
The breakfast included Hackney’s Mayor Philip Glanville, Hackney’s Chief Inspector Simon Laurence, representatives of associations and non-governmental organisations, along will police officers from the Hackney Police Station, and members of the public.
Police officers and the members of the public spent time talking together and some took photos together with the police officers from Hackney. The guests had a good time with enjoying a rich open buffet breakfast with the Christmas decorations given the Christmas breakfast the festive feel.
Hackney’s Chief Inspector Simon Laurence said that in 2017 Britain there were many sad events, especially in the context of terrorism:
“In England there were around 70 terrorist attacks in 2017. 4 of the largest of these took place in London, and 1 in Manchester. Finsbury Park attack on Muslims and many other similar attacks have killed many of our citizens. I hope these terror attacks are completely over in the New Year. Our citizens are extremely helpful to us in tackling crime together. We get great support from our citizens for the arrest of the criminals. I thank all of our people who supported us for this reason. Today we are experiencing the happiness of leaving this year with this breakfast and entering a whole new year. I would like to thank everyone who did not leave us alone in this activity.”
