Today in Warrington town centre, there were more police officers in high-visibility uniform than usual. This increase in police presence is part of a collaborative effort between three police forces in the north-west – Cheshire, Merseyside, and Greater Manchester.
These officers are part of a security operation called Project Servator, which aims to disrupt criminal activity and enhance vigilance in the area. The deployment of Project Servator teams is unpredictable and is designed to deter a wide range of criminal activities, including terrorism, while also providing a sense of security for the public.
Constable Mike Henry, who coordinates Project Servator for Cheshire Police, highlighted the importance of combining expertise from neighboring forces to combat criminality at both a local and regional level. Similarly, Sergeant Danny Cheevers from Merseyside Police emphasized the collaborative effort between different police forces to disrupt criminal activities.
During these deployments, officers will engage with the public and encourage them to report any suspicious activity they may observe. The goal is to create a network of vigilance that makes it challenging for criminals, including terrorists, to operate in the region.
It is essential for the public to remain vigilant and report anything that seems out of the ordinary. Even if something appears insignificant, it is crucial to trust your instincts and report it to the authorities. By working together with law enforcement, individuals can play a vital role in maintaining the safety and security of their community.
If you encounter any suspicious activity, do not hesitate to contact the police at 101. In case of an emergency, always dial 999 for immediate assistance. For more information on how to identify and report suspicious behavior, visit gov.uk/act.
