Greater Manchester Police is launching a major operation that will see up to 50 officers and PCSOs a day on the streets to help prevent students becoming victims of crime.
Police in Manchester, Salford and Bolton will work alongside councils and universities to keep students safe by carrying out covert operations to catch thieves operating in student areas, high visibility patrols in hot spot areas, video cameras will be used to gather intelligence and known offenders of student crime will be targeted. PCSOs will also visit the homes of students who live in vulnerable areas to carry out crime prevention surveys and provide advice.
Officers will deliver safety talks to welcome new students to the city and urge them to become more security savvy. While other students will be shown a short film, featuring GMP officers, Manchester students and ex-offenders, about how to keep themselves and their property safe. Letters will also be sent home to parents of students to encourage them to keep an eye on their safety.
Chief Superintendent Stuart Barton, heading up operation Student Safe, said: “Greater Manchester is a fantastic place for people to study and we want to welcome new and returning students. However, many students become so busy enjoying their new lives that they forget personal safety issues, so we’re here to help them.
“There are a small number of predatory offenders who specifically target students, but we aim to stay one step ahead of them to stop them in their tracks.
“Policing operations will take place throughout the academic year and Neighbourhood Policing Teams will be on hand to ensure that students know how to protect themselves and their property. The on-campus teams will also hold police surgeries to deal with the concerns of the university students.
“However, there are some really simple steps that students can take to protect themselves from becoming a victim of crime - while out and about, stick to well-lit areas, stay in groups, pace your drinks and keep valuables such as phones and MP3 players out of sight.
“At your student accommodation, make sure that doors and windows are locked, even when you are in, and remember to set the alarm. If you’re going out at night, leave a light on to give the impression someone is home.”

Students are also encouraged to register their valuables on www.immobilise.com. It’s a quick, easy and free way of logging the details of your property on a national database that police can access and compare against items that have been found or recovered from suspected criminals.

Happy New Year to everyone and I hope you have a great 2013.
I really appreciate all the support I've received and comments on my photography over the past year. I still feel that I'm new to this and have so much to learn so the help, guidance and occasional bit of counselling is welcome!
My ambitions for 2013 are:
To get out with the camera more
To improve the quality of my final work
To start getting some of my images hung on walls, with a push to get some of them exhibited locally
To do a better job than I've done in recent months of staying in touch with the many friends I've made through photography
This is an image of a little harbour in North Wales. It was taken during the wet summer and I was up against it here as the darker clouds you can just see edging into shot on the right were carrying a lot of rain.

Our youth outreach stole this flier from one of the schools they did a presentation at. It would be really funny if it were not being given to impressionable kids. We looked through the so -called facts in the pamplette and the some of the statements were outright lies, not just badly warped stats.
On of several trawlers in Shoreham Harbour recently. I presume it was a safe haven between the Autumn storms that ravaged the country recently.

As a designer, I believe that everyone has a story to tell. In my work I want to visually share those stories to open up conversations that can change the perspective of those looking from the outside in on one's experience.

"Long Photograph," unpolished as it is, that I put together from the weekend. It's an awesome swing, for the record.
(The song is Kathleen Edwards' "Scared At Night" -- a great song.)
I liked the film effect here, just a pleasant vieow of the harbor. Nikon FE2 Llomo redscale 35mm film.

It will not protect very valuable, uninsured, gem stones for more than one hour from attack by crowbar.

The University of Central Arkansas Police Department sponsored a pair of events to wrap up their "Safe Spring Break" week around alumni circle on Thursday. Students took part in the Fatal Vision Pedal Cart Course, where they rode pedal carts while wearing “drunk goggles.” This informed students about alcohol impairment and discourage driving under the influence. Students also signed red Solo cups as part of the “Know Your Limits” display, which served as a pledge of responsibility on spring break.
