Operation AVRO - Bury #2
A new force-wide initiative - codenamed Operation AVRO - which will run each month in a different district.
We will bring you real-time updates including images and video as activity continues throughout the day.
Our new community messaging system ‘Bee in the loop’ will allow you to choose what information you would like to know about including crime and incidents in your local area.
The system is also an invaluable investigative tool and that we can use to appeal for information or intelligence and help to solve crime.
We will keep you updated on the work we are doing to raise awareness of the work our teams are doing to keep you safe.
Sign up to Bee in the loop about what is happening in your community.
