Police join forces for regional crackdown on criminals

Today (Friday, 30 January) officers are joining forces across the North West to crackdown on criminals who use the transport system to commit crime or engage in anti-social behaviour.

Nearly 600 officers from Merseyside Police, Lancashire Constabulary, North Wales Police, Cheshire Constabulary, British Transport Police, Mersey Tunnels Police, the Port of Liverpool Police and the North West Regional Motorway Policing Group will be working together on a coordinated strike against criminals using the region's roads, ports, railways and Liverpool John Lennon Airport.

Officers are out in force using Automatic Number Plate Reconition (ANPR) technology to detect criminals using the roads in Merseyside, Cheshire, North Wales and Lancashire. The main focus of this strand of the operation is against illegal motorists and those who use the roads to carry out acquisitive crime including burglary, theft and car crime. ANPR is a valuable tool which recognises stolen vehicles and illegal motorists so that officers can get them off the road fast.

Metal-detecting arches

Metal-detecting safety arches are being used at ports, bus and railway stations across the region to stop criminals who are carrying weapons. Officers also have metal-detecting gloves and wands at their disposal to check that passengers are not armed. There is high visibility patrolling at these stations and police support for bus and railway staff (e.g. during ticket checks).

Stop checks of boats using the Port of Liverpool are targeting the transportation of controlled drugs and weapons.

The high visibility operation will ensure that the strong arm of the law is felt by criminals and would-be offenders across the region.

Reducing their ability to commit crime

Assistant Chief Constable Simon Byrne of Merseyside Police said: "Part of our Total War on Crime involves disrupting criminals' lives as much as we can. This operation is focusing on the transport system because restricting a criminal's ability to travel is a very effective way of reducing their ability to commit crime.

"Anti-social behaviour on the bus and railway network is also unacceptable and we are sending a clear message that it will not be tolerated.

"By working together with our neighbouring forces and the roads, railways and maritime police we expect to achieve even better results and to cast an even wider net over the region's criminals."

I seen the tunnel police when i was heading over to liverpool the other day, a few were standing by the barriers that lift up to let u pass once you paid. I wasn't stoped though or see anyone get stoped at the time so was wondering what they were doing.

The A41 was crawling with them the other day, not just the usual stop checks at Carlett Park!! Saw the tunnel police on the barriers, they are there every so often, normally tax disc checks and quick visuals on cars!
We are turning into a police state now, and its against the easy targets, drivers! Soft touch for an easy life police force, go catch REAL criminals, break into a sweat (not just thinking about it!!), need the excersise!!!!

But the point is they are after real criminals... the criminals who usually get away with whatever they do on a regular and daily basis. Nothing angers me more than people who think they can drive on our roads without Insurance or Tax....if they smash into me, Id chase them down and find where they live etc...

Just because they dont break into houses or kill people, doesnt mean they arent committing serious crimes.

My brothers just joined the Police, and aving heard the things that AudiTastic used to say, I have the greatest respect for the Police.

If for just one day, the police decided to shut up shop, and not do a single thing... then wed see how people react hahahahaha..

If you abide by the law, live a long and happy life, then what have you to fear/hate from the police?????
Sick and tired of hearing that Generic view... like listening to Sheep.

Craig your a spring chicken!

Your time will come!

In the meantime checkout the band i posted in the music section `the airbourne toxic event`

Beware! Any other country did this amount of monitoring!!
