The Texas National Guard’s Joint Counterdrug Taskforce, together with the City of Laredo, the U.S. Border Patrol, Laredo Independent School District, and others, host a media day on Friday, August 17 to engage local media about the mission of Operation Crackdown. Special guest for the event was Capt. Paula Palacios, South Region Commander for the Joint Counterdrug Taskforce. The media day will also featured a live demolition of an abandoned structure associated with criminal activity located on Chicago Street right in front of Francisco Farias Elementary.
Now in its fifth year in Laredo, Operation Crackdown is a joint effort between the Texas National Guard’s Counterdrug Taskforce Program, the City of Laredo and the U.S. Border Patrol to work together to rid the community of abandoned structures identified as having drug and other criminal activities. The demolition of these identified structures removes the potential for gangs, drugs and associated violent activity in neighborhoods and allows for revitalization of communities.

In autumn 2022, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) launched Operation Vulcan to clear the areas of Cheetham Hill and Strangeways of the counterfeit goods trade and associated organised crime.
Eleven months on and the area today paints a very different picture, with over 200 counterfeit shops shut down, over 1000 tonnes of counterfeit items repurposed and recycled, £520,000 cash seized, and violent crime and public order offences reduced by 50%.
Following this success, Greater Manchester Police and partners vow to bring the same dynamic change, vigour and enthusiasm to Piccadilly Gardens.
Using the same specialist taskforce, alongside local neighbourhood officers and PCSO’s, dedicated resources will be embedded into Piccadilly Gardens to identify the root causes of the existing problems and work closely with local residents and partners to eliminate the criminality in all its forms, helping to create a safer community and supporting businesses to thrive and grow.
Policing alone will not solve these problems, and that is why the multi-agency approach is so key to tackle the issues in Piccadilly Gardens. Working with Manchester City Council, Greater Manchester Combined Authority, and local businesses and charities, this is our commitment to tackling and creating sustainable resolutions to issues such as anti-social behaviour, drug dealing, exploitation, theft from person, and violent crime which have, for too long, impacted the lives and livelihoods of those in and around Piccadilly Gardens.
Detective Superintendent Neil Blackwood, who will be leading the specialist team of officers in Piccadilly Gardens, said: “Building on the success of the existing partnerships we have, strengthening the multi-agency approach to key issues that are impacting the lives of the local community and visitors, police and partners will use every power and policy available to revitalise the area.
“Operation Vulcan Piccadilly is the product of hours of interactions with locals, residents, and partners from across Manchester, and represents what they want from their police force. We will work with the public to fight crime and anti-social behaviour, utilising all of the specialist resources within GMP to make a real difference in the area.
“We want Piccadilly Gardens to feel safer and become a more welcoming place for people to live, work, and socialise, but make no mistake, we will be adopting a zero-tolerance approach to any criminality, and we will be relentless in our pursuit to make this a hostile environment for criminals."
Councillor Luthfur Rahman, Deputy Leader of Manchester City Council, said: “We welcome this operation, with the police focusing resources on Piccadilly Gardens and acting on concerns raised by the community, the Council and others.
“The Council will support the operation whether through services to improve the appearance of the area as anti-social behaviour is reduced, or by aiding vulnerable people who need support – for example drug and alcohol treatment or safeguarding.
“Piccadilly Gardens is a public space with huge potential and we’ve seen it successfully host events such as the Christmas Markets and more recently screenings of Lionesses matches. It’s a much-used space, with 150,000 people a day passing through it, but we recognise that it has issues with crime and anti-social behaviour and that negative perceptions surround it.
“This commitment from the police will help make it an area which is welcoming to everyone except those with criminal or anti-social intent. Building on this foundation, the Council has appointed designers to come up with a plan to transform the area, creating a welcoming, flexible and family-friendly space. Together we can deliver real improvements.”

La présence du NCSM CHARLOTTETOWN dans la région de la mer d’Arabie, où il rejoint la CTF 150, offre au Canada la souplesse et la capacité d’intervenir rapidement lors de crises émergentes dans la région.

Prison Liaison Officers alongside colleagues from Challenger and Specialist Operations executed two simultaneous warrants in Little Hulton this morning (Thursday 12 December 2024).
The warrants at addresses on Captain Fold Road and Ordsall Avenue, were targeted after an investigation into drones flying contraband including drugs, phones, tobacco, and other illicit items into HMP Hindley, led officers to those properties.
The investigation began on Saturday 28 September 2024 after officers taking part in a proactive operation in Wigan, located a drone heading in the direction of HMP Hindley.
A man in his 20s was arrested on suspicion of conveying list ‘A’ items into a prison, however, no drone or contraband were recovered at the time of his arrest.
Officers continued to work through the information they had which led them to two addresses in Little Hulton this morning.
Although no arrests were made, officers did manage to seize a bladed article and a number of mobiles, thought to be in the process of being conveyed into prison.
Constable Fenney from our Wigan district said: "This morning's warrant is just one part of our sustained, strategic approach to combating drug drops via drones and throw overs at HMP Hindley.
“We've been executing targeted operations to dismantle the networks behind these aerial contraband and drug deliveries, but our work doesn't stop here. We're working closely with prison authorities, following up on leads and pursuing those who we believe are responsible for these drops.
“I would like to remind the people of Wigan to continue to report your concerns to us, as all credible reports of information helps us build an intelligence picture to continue with our work of conducting meaningful warrants.
“You can do this direct by calling 101 or through our Live Chat function at gmp.police.uk, or alternatively speak to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or through their website.”
