As we near the half-way point of 2023, we’ve seen yet more great work from police officers fighting crime and disorder this week. From as far afield as Canning Town to Cumbria, and Manchester to Glasgow. Take a look!
Traffic Stop of the Week
Traffic stops provide a great opportunity to take the fight against crime to those criminals using the roads. In this case police officers in Manchester stopped and arrested suspected thieves using stolen motorbikes to commit crimes. Great work!
🚔 Traffic cops in #Manchester stopped and arrested suspected thieves using stolen motorbikes to commit further offences. Great to see proactive policing taking criminals and their stolen vehicles off the road. https://t.co/0ISivRWBf1

Foot Patrol of the Week
Police officers on foot in Canning Town got another great result when they took this knife and the drugs the person was carrying off the streets. Brilliant crime-fighting work, grounded in a neighbourhood policing team, well done making the area safer!
🥇 More great foot patrol with crime-fighting results – this time from neighbourhood police officers in Canning Town, who used their #stopandsearch powers to take this weapon and the person carrying it off the streets. https://t.co/fNsURq7Lgz

Community Payback
We know that cleaner streets are safer streets – and that’s just as true in Cumbria, where public spaces including beaches have been made cleaner and safer thanks to the use of Community Payback by probation.
👷 Great to see #CommunityPayback being used to clear beaches of litter in Cumbria.We will continue to support probation using Community Payback to make our streets and public spaces safer, by clearing them up. #GoldenSpade #CP50 https://t.co/eT1CV8V6wH

Stop and Search
Stop and search is such a vital tool – as in this case from Glasgoe where a man was searched and found to be in possession of an offensive weapon, undoubtedly making the area safer!
🎯 Another week, another great #stopandsearch. This time in #Glasgow, where police officers on patrol found and arrested a man for being in possession of an offensive weapon. Great work making the streets safer! https://t.co/ce6HKZjZTS

Warrants and Raids
Another week, another raid! This time the Wakefield Impact Team took doors in Knottingley, where they turned up £750,000 worth of drugs, a variety of weapons, and more than £30,000 in cash. Great work!
