Welcome to the latest edition of the stakeholder bulletin, providing you with an update on the work of Police and Crime Commissioner John Dwyer and Cheshire Constabulary in supporting communities across the county and helping to keep Cheshire residents safe.
Commissioner John Dwyer has welcomed the launch of a new tool designed to allow people to flag areas where they have felt unsafe in their community. The service is primarily targeted at women and girls but can be used by anyone to report problem areas
Criminals using roads in and around Cheshire were targeted during a day of action. Operation Crossbow is part of ongoing efforts to disrupt criminal activity across the region and deny criminals the use of the roads.
It involved more than 80 officers from Cheshire Constabulary and Greater Manchester Police, from roads policing, the motorcycle unit, dogs, drones and local policing.
Rain didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits at this year’s Disability Awareness Day at Walton Hall and Gardens in Warrington, where Commissioner John Dwyer’s stall won the ‘best statutory services exhibitor’ award.
The Commissioner also asked visitors to the stall to vote in a poll on whether they had been a victim of hate crime.
Cheshire Constabulary is now issuing yellow cards to anyone suspected of committing criminal activity in the county with a clear message attached – you are not welcome here!
The new Op Yellow Card initiative allows officers who suspect someone is carrying out criminal activity to issue them with a warning card. A crime will not have to be in progress for this action to be taken, but there will be police intelligence that the individual is involved in criminal behaviour.
Commissioner John Dwyer attended the Deafness Support Network open day in Chester and gained a greater insight into the issues that deaf and hearing impaired people face when interacting with the police. John was told about how British Sign Language and English are completely different and that deaf people’s needs vary greatly.
Police and partners joined forces as part of continued efforts to improve safety on the A34. More than 100 drivers, pedestrians and children were spoken to as part of the ‘Driver Engagement Day’.
The day, which is part of Operation Topnotch, saw police officers working alongside Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service to talk to and educate drivers following reports of anti-social driving and an increase in the number of fatal and serious collisions on the A34 in Handforth Dean.
Four men involved in a conspiracy that led to an innocent man being shot on his own doorstep in Warrington have been jailed.
Aaron Bretherton and Anthony Morris carried out the shooting on Poplars Avenue in Warrington on Friday 24 April 2020. Brothers Alan and John Tobin assisted with the attack by providing details of the intended victim to a man who is suspected of plotting to shoot individuals he had grievances with.
