Trafford Safe4Summer
Below is a summary of activity we've undertaken as part of the Safe4Summer campaign across Trafford:
Trafford neighbourhood officers and traffic officers were working together to conduct a speeding operation on a key route between Salford and Trafford.
Following intelligence and reports from the community, officers were on Redclyffe Road looking out for the Fatal 4. Fatal 4 behaviours includes: speeding, driving under the influence of drink or drugs, not wearing a seatbelt, and mobile phone use.
The first car seen on the operation was stopped due to being in an unroadworthy condition and was later found to have no insurance, so it was seized.
Further offences seen by officers included:
- 11 offences of driving whilst using a mobile phone
- 15 offences of driving without wearing a seatbelt
Officers from across the force, including our Tactical Aid Unit, Dog Unit, and Motorbike Unit were at the Trafford Centre on Thursday as part of Emergency Services Day.
The day saw officers engaging with members of the public, and showing them the different vehicles, equipment, and roles we have at GMP.
Officers have been out tackling antis-social behaviour in the local community.
While on the Sale West estate, officers came across a quad bike being used antisocially and illegally on the road without third-party insurance.
As a result, the vehicle was seized, and the driver was reported for the offences commited.
Officers recently attended Wigan Council's cycling event at The Three Sisters Race Circuit to offer free bike marking and registration onto the National Cycle Database to help reduce the risk of theft and increase the likelihood of us being able to return your cycle should it ever be stolen.
Officers recently hosted a bike marking and crime prevention event at Stamford Quarter, Altrincham.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to bring their bikes for security marking and speak to us about their concerns.
It was great to hear from our communities and let you know what we’re doing to tackle the issues that matter to you.
