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.”

A pure white feather floats silently towards the ground
as it lands i pick it up and rest it gently in the palm of my hand
perhaps its a delicate fragment from an angels wing
possibly a token of love
or maybe i see it as my own delight in a gentle white feather
but as my eyes alight on this fragile plume my spirit spirit lifts
and i have a feeling that my guardian angel is near me and ever watchful
i believe this perception will always stay with me
and each time i glimpse a pure white feather
i will offer my thanks to my imperceivable protector..........

HMS Protector, the Royal Navy’s Ice patrol Ship, began life as the MV Polarbjørn (Polar Bear), a Norwegian icebreaker and polar research vessel.
The ship, which is deployed on operations for 330 days a year, is capable of positioning to centremetric accuracy in winds of up to 80 knots and is fitted with an impressive array of specialist equipment, including: a hull mounted multi-beam echo sounder; a state-of-the-art survey motor boat (SMB), ‘James Caird IV’; an 8.5m ramped Work Boat, ‘Terra Nova’; 6 high-speed rigid inflatable and inflatable boats; 2 specialist tracked vehicles; 3 quad bikes and trailers, and a Land Rover.
HMS Protector is the Royal Navy’s ‘Swiss Army Knife’ – red, versatile, and always there when you need her.
HMS Protector deployed from Portsmouth for her second Austral summer deployment on 17 September 2012, travelling south via St Helena, Simon's Town in South Africa, and Tristan da Cunha before she arrived in Antarctica in December. The ship will complete four planned patrols of the British Antarctic Territory.
This deployments programme of work includes: providing direct support to a UK led multi-national Antarctic Treaty Inspection team; hosting and deploying a multi-national team responsible for ensuring that the stringent environmental site guidelines to Antarctic tour operators are being adhered to; landing and recovering British Antarctic Survey (BAS) scientists at ecologically important sites, and; surveying the poorly chartered waters around the Antarctic Peninsula to improve the navigational awareness and safety of other ships and mariners operating around the ‘Frozen Continent’.
The Ice Patrol Ship is the embodiment of the Royal Navy’s global reach, operational flexibility and the Service’s ability to sustain operations wherever and whenever that presence is required.

Meeting the media.
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.

Hi Flickr, long time no see!
As the company I work for will be moving to a new premises this week I thought I'd opt for a Bionicle desk buddy like I did when I started working here back in 2015.
This is the Protector of Time herself, Vahi, who is a custom G2 Bionicle character who was the original wearer of G2's Mask of Time.
I have had Vahi built since early 2020 but have as far as I recall never shared her publicly, possibly due to that being the time I was starting to fall away from the wider Bionicle fandom. Her mask is a 3D print from Shapeways whose creator I don't recall, apologies.
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.”
