Good afternoon,
We’re continuing to patrol areas across Greater Manchester to reassure all communities that may have had increased concerns after last week’s attack outside the Heaton Park synagogue in Crumpsall.
Over the past week, you will have seen an increased number of our officers patrolling places of worship across Greater Manchester, with a particular focus on providing a high-visibility presence within our Jewish communities in north Manchester, Bury and Salford.
We’ve made 10,000 visits to all places of worship and have ensured that community leaders, worshippers, and wider members of the public feel able to speak to us about their concerns and report anything to us.
We’re grateful and humbled by the thanks and appreciation from the public to our officers who have shown dedication to keeping our streets safe with 12-hour shifts and cancelled rest days.
Our priority is keeping you safe and helping you feel safe in your communities.
As we move back towards more regular resourcing, we remain committed to ensuring our communities – particularly the Jewish community – continue to be in the forefront of our plans to keep the public safe.
You will still see patrols in your area, and we are working closely with the Community Security Trust and the wider communities to ensure all concerns and information go towards informing our local policing plans.
If you have concerns, speak to officers, call us on 101 or report it on our website. Always dial 999 in an emergency.
