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.”

Operation Shocktober on October 18th 2008 was the ninth straight month of peaceful global protests against the scientology cult. The theme was zombies, to coincide with Halloween and highlight the many mysterious deaths and suicides of cult members.
All faces of those unmasked are blurred to protect them from the cult's "Fair Game" policy of harassing it's critics. These are brave people of all ages and walks of life, standing shoulder to shoulder with ex-Scientologists to bring the truth TO YOU.

BALTIMORE, Md. (September 24, 2011), Elements of the Maryland Defense Force and the Maryland Army National Guard provided health care, legal services and logistical support to more than 210 homeless veterans during “Operation Stand Down” in Baltimore this weekend. The event was organized by The Way Station Inc., in partnership with the State of Maryland, Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Anne Arundel County, various Veteran Service Organizations (VSOs), and volunteer organizations.
“It is our obligation to serve those who have served on our behalf. With estimates showing that on any given night there are as many as 1,000 homeless veterans in our state, it is clear that we must do more to keep these brave Marylanders from falling through the cracks,” said Lt. Governor Anthony Brown. “Events like Operation Stand Down provide an opportunity not only for homeless veterans to get the services and resources that they need and deserve, but an opportunity for the community to come together to give something back to those who have so bravely sacrificed in service to their country.”
Operation Stand Down provided an opportunity for homeless veterans in Baltimore to interact and form ties with peers and volunteers while receiving much needed, specific services. Organizations, private companies and service providers had stations set up throughout the War Memorial Plaza where veterans could learn about what benefits they may be eligible for, receive certain essential services (such as medical, addiction counseling, showers, veteran benefits, housing assistance, clothing, etc.) and be given opportunities for possible training and employment.
Operation Morning Light was an effort by U.S.-Canadian team that searched for a Soviet Radar Ocean Reconnaissance Satellite with an on-board nuclear reactor that fell to Earth in 1978.

Operation Pedro Pan
On this site, which was officially known as the Florida City Shelter of the Catholic Welfare Bureau’s Cuban Children’s Program, thousands of Operation Pedro Pan children found refuge from Communist Cuba between 1961 and 1966. Operation Pedro Pan was conceived and organized by Monsignor Bryan O. Walsh of the Archdiocese of Miami and James Baker, headmaster of Ruston Academy in Havana, Cuba, at the request of parents who sought to prevent Communist indoctrination of their children. It was financed largely by the United States Government with full support of the Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson administrations, and was supervised by the State of Florida. Between December 1960 and October 1962, over 14,000 Pedro Pan children arrived in South Florida. The Florida City Shelter was the largest of the Operation’s facilities in the state. It housed girls 5-19 years old and boys under 13 who lived in home units under the care of exiled Cuban couples who served as house parents. Its day-to-day operations were managed by Catholic priests and Sisters of St. Philip Neri. Many Operation Pedro Pan children went on to plant deep roots in the region and made significant contributions to Florida and the nation.
Operación Pedro Pan
En este sitio, denominado Refugio de Florida City del Programa de Niños Cubanos del Buró Católico de Bienestar Social, miles de niños integrantes de la Operación Pedro Pan recibieron albergue de Cuba Comunista entre 1961 y 1966. La operación fue concebida y organizada por el Monseñor Bryan O. Walsh de la Arquidiócesis de Miami y por James Baker, director de la Academia Ruston, ubicada en La Habana, Cuba, a solicitud de padres que no querían que sus hijos fueran adoctrinados por el régimen. Fue financiada por el gobierno estadounidense, con respaldo de las administraciones de Eisenhower, Kennedy y Johnson y supervisada por el gobierno estatal de Florida. Entre diciembre de 1960 y octubre de 1962, más de 14,000 niños cubanos llegaron al sur de Florida. En el Refugio de Florida City, el mayor del estado, se acogieron niñas entre 5 y 19 años de edad y niños menores de 13. Los menores residían en hogares encabezados por matrimonios cubanos exiliados que fungían como padres. La administración estaba bajo la dirección de sacerdotes católicos y las Hermanas de San Felipe Neri. Muchos niños de Operación Pedro Pan echaron raíces en la región y contribuyeron al desarrollo socioeconómico y cultural de Florida y del país.
