Oefening Joint Protector van de DDG, i.v.m. beschermen havengebieden tegen terroristische acties. Verdachte objecten boven en onder water worden onderzocht en eventueel onschadelijk gemaakt.

Greater Manchester Police’s Operation Protector ran again last week providing security for the 2011 Conservative Party Conference, which was held at Manchester International Conference Centre.

 

Operation Protector is one of the Force’s largest undertakings and sees officers and staff from across the organisation deployed in the city. The operation is structured to ensure the security of the conference while still maintaining day-to-day policing continues as normal across the region.

 

This was the fifth occasion the Force has mounted Operation Protector during a major political conference in the city. The operation will run again next year when the Labour Party host their conference in Manchester.

Today, Wednesday 2 October 2019, saw the conclusion of Operation Protector.

 

This is has been the policing operation for the Conservative Party Conference.

 

Chief Superintendent Wasim Chaudhry, Gold Commander in charge of policing during the Conservative Party Conference said:

  

“Over the past four days, Manchester has played host to the Conservative Party Conference, which saw just over 12,000 delegates visit our city.

 

“Policing this event presents a complex security and public order operation, requiring a high degree of multiagency partnership working and the highest levels of professionalism.

 

“As in previous years, there have been elements of protest throughout the conference period – notably on Sunday 29 September when around 13,000 people marched through the city.

 

“The vast majority of people attending protests did so peacefully and worked with us to ensure they could voice their opinions in a safe manner and with minimal disruption to others.

 

“On the occasions where individuals crossed the line we have taken positive action. It’s testament to our balanced policing approach that only four people have been arrested during the conference period.

 

“I want to thank those who live, work in or were visiting Manchester during the conference for their patience while our policing operation was in place.

 

“Throughout Operation Protector, officers have worked tirelessly to protect delegates, manage protests and keep our city safe.

 

“I am proud of all our officers and staff. They have performed their duties to the highest of standards and behaved in a professional and fair manner throughout.”

Sunday 3 October 2021 saw the first day of Operation Protector. The operation is run by Greater Manchester Police whenever the city hosts a major political conference.

 

This year sees the Conservative Party Conference take place at Manchester Central.
