Undercover police hitting Greater Manchester's knife crime hotspots after tragedies
A huge operation to tackle knife crime has been launched this week in Greater Manchester with hotspots targeted across the region.
Superintendent Caroline Hemingway, GMP’s knife crime lead, said the operation comes after a number of recent incidents where young people have been fatally stabbed. She said: "The impact that knife crime has is truly devastating and affects everyone – from individuals and families to our communities.
"We are also working with partners across Greater Manchester including local councils, other emergency services and the Violence Reduction Unit to provide insight into why violence occurs within Greater Manchester and work with the community to provide solutions. "The consequences are far-reaching and don’t just affect those that are directly involved in an incident. Through our Violence Reduction Unit, the police, local authorities, youth services, health, education and schools, as well as other criminal justice partners, continue to work together to embed a community-led approach to prevention and enforcement, with community-led programmes now live in seven boroughs.
