My name is Ciaran and I like meeting people in uniforms.

I broke into new territory this week - Keyham Lane police station.
For vague historical reasons - I've no idea what they are - we've never really had so much to do with this place, even back in the days before I got here.
It's in Hamilton, Leicester and it covers a huge part of the city, neighbourhoods like Belgrave, Thurnby Lodge and Netherhall. Big, important and, above all, newsy places.
I arrived at the station the other night and, straight away, one or two officers pointed out that other stations get all the publicity.
Well, the job now is to win the trust of these officers and see if we can get them in the paper as often as some of their colleagues.
I look forward to doing that - the softy stuff and the less easy side of life there.
It started really well.
I spent a few hours walking around Belgrave and St Marks with Pc Laura Nutt.
This will be part of a series of features I'm putting together toward the end of the month.
I've got half a notebook of shorthand notes and I'll get around to reading and translating them over the next few days.
Pc Nutt was great though. A real beat officer.
She knows what makes this area tick, what gets under people's skin.
She also dealt with one of the resident ne'er do wells brilliantly. I watched her search the lad in the street, while chatting to him like a concerned mum.
