A POLICE motorcycle officer who is visiting all 51 police force headquarters on a 3000-mile charity ride was welcomed to the Fife Constabulary HQ in Glenrothes today.
PC Mark Robinson, from Grampian Police, was presented with a force shield, which will be auctioned at the end of his 10-day marathon ride, by Superintendent David McCulloch, Head of Specialist Services Division, which includes road policing.
