Operation North Star - Festive Initiative Targets Crime and Anti-Social Behaviour

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) has launched Operation North Star – our initiative to help protect communities during the festive period and bring criminals to justice. 

This is aligned to the government’s “Winter of Action” plan, which was recently unveiled by the Home Secretary following the success of the government’s Safer Streets summer initiative.  

Action for Winter activity will see police forces partner with local businesses, authorities, and police and crime commissioners to target shop theft and anti-social behaviour, as part of the government’s Plan for Change to make our streets safer. 

This force wide operation will demonstrate our commitment to keeping people and their property safe during what is traditionally one of the busiest periods in local policing. Bringing together neighbourhood policing teams, specialist departments, and partner agencies across Greater Manchester, we are committed to deliver both prevention and enforcement activities in the lead up to Christmas and into the New Year.
