Black Lives Matter

On Friday 5 June, we lit up our Force Headquarters building purple in solidarity with George Floyd’s loved ones and those who are rightly appalled by the way he lost his life.

 

We support all those across the world who are affected by this tragedy and our hearts also go out to those who have been affected by the terrible violence and damage across many US cities. Hopefully, peace will soon follow.

 

We recognise that more must be done to stand up for what is right.

 

We stand alongside the National Black Police Association, the Police Federation of England and Wales and all other agencies in Greater Manchester to reiterate our unwavering commitment to fairness, tolerance and inclusivity.

 

Sometimes we do not always get it right, but we are continuously striving to learn and improve. Building tolerance and understanding with the diverse communities we serve is absolutely key to this and will continue to be so.

You should call 101, the national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.

 

Always call 999 in an emergency, such as when a crime is in progress, violence is being used or threatened or where there is danger to life.

 

You can also call anonymously with information about crime to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity who will not want your name, just your information. Your call will not be traced or recorded and you do not have to go to court or give a statement.
