The Public Safety Foundation
As we reach the end of May, it has been an eventful week for the men and women who keep us safe, fighting crime and disorder. This week we applaud police and probation from as far afield as Southwark and Hull.
Traffic Stop of the Week
Another week, another set of prolific thieves stopped, searched and arrested by police officers, this time in Manchester. Shop thefts are often considered victimless crimes, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Shop workers are often subject to violence and intimidation, and the theft of items only benefits criminals.
🚔 Another week, another great traffic stop – this from #Denton in Greater Manchester – where the occupants were arrested for theft and going equipped following reports of shop theft. https://t.co/EbDvoiJRzO

Foot Patrol of the Week
The Public Safety Foundation is an enormous supporter of foot patrol, and so it’s no surprise that we are shining a light on police officers out on foot in Southwark this week. It was great to see them looking the part and getting out and about across their patch of London.
🥇 During these tough times, it's great to see the Met's finest still getting on with the mission at hand – and getting out on foot patrol, looking smart, and fighting crime and disorder – helping keep their patch of #Southwark safe. https://t.co/ehZdS7OOUZ

Community Payback
More great work from probation using Community Payback to clear up and clean up our public spaces – in this case probation in London using Community Payback to clear up the paths and walkways around the A13 in Barking.
👷 More great work creating cleaner and safer streets and public spaces. This time #CommunityPayback has been tidying up and improving the paths and walkways around Gascoigne Road and Alfreds Way in #Barking. #CP50 https://t.co/zaoWMbOi3s

Arrest of the Week
Merseyside police officers had a cracking result this week when they arrested a 20-year old for possession of a knife, theft and various road traffic offences. Anti-social riders and drivers can cause a real nuisance to local people and so it’s great to see police in Litherland get their man!
🎯 Our #ArrestOfTheWeek goes to police in #Litherland, taking one 20-year old off the streets for possession of a knife, various road traffic offences, and theft. Thank you for making the streets safer! https://t.co/TaJnhejMVw

Stop and Search
Another week and another excellent example of stop and search being used to make the streets safer.
🎖️ More brilliant crimefighting making the streets safer in #Sydenham, where police have used #stopandsearch to take this weapon, and the person carrying it off the streets. https://t.co/kBkLbFYX9w

Warrants and Raids
Finally, a brilliant result for police in Hull who raided an address and recovered drugs, cash and weapons, and made a number of arrests. This work undoubtedly helping make a dent in crime and disorder in the Hull area.
🏠 More crimefighting work, with police officers from Humberside raiding an address on the outskirts of #Hull – arresting several and seizing drugs, cash and weapons. Thank you for making our streets safer! https://t.co/TAdlqPRCBk
