Assistant Chief Constable Terry Sweeney launches Dawn Watch on the streets of Wigan.
Greater Manchester Police is calling on early risers across the county to join them in the fight against crime by watching out for and reporting suspicious activity.
Taxi drivers, milk and newspaper delivery staff, shift workers and others whose work or lifestyle involves them being out and about in the small hours are being urged to join Dawn Watch to be extra eyes and ears for the police.
Officers say that many crimes such as burglary and vehicle theft occur in the dead of night and timely information from the public can prove crucial in quickly bringing offenders to justice.
People interested in the scheme can join Dawn Watch through their Neighbourhood Policing Team. They are also invited to provide contact details so local officers can get in touch to enlist their help and local knowledge in investigating crimes.
Police say that though the scheme does not give members any special legal powers, the information they provide can help bring criminals to justice. They are also keen to stress that people should not put themselves at any risk either in observing or reporting crime.
Members get a handy wallet or purse size membership card that features contact details for the police and Crimestoppers as well as tips on what to look for and make a note of when they suspect they are observing criminal activity.
These include the date, time and location of incidents and names, addresses and telephone numbers of suspects. Personal details such as height, build, hair, colouring and clothing are also useful as are the makes, models, colours and registration details of vehicles that are involved.
Suspicious activity can be reported directly to GMP on 0161 872 50 50 on anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. In an emergency, where there is a threat to life or a crime in progress people should use the 999 number.
Assistant Chief Constable Terry Sweeney said: “There are many recent cases where information from the public has proved to be the final piece of the jigsaw that helped us to put offenders away and stop them spreading misery in our communities.
“When the police, our partners and the public show a united front against crime it leaves offenders with two very simple options, to go straight or go straight to prison.
“I would urge people to join Dawn Watch to help us make their neighbourhoods safer, more pleasant places that they can be proud to live, work and grow up in.”
Ian Kay, the national milkman of the year 2010 said: “Milkmen and other delivery workers have excellent local knowledge of their patch and instinctively know when something is not right. They are also trusted members of their communities and protective of the people on their rounds.
“Through Dawn Watch they and others can play an important part in keeping their communities safe from buurglars, robbers and thieves.”

Europe's plans for how to meet its energy needs in the next decade and beyond are dirty and dangerous, and serve big business profits more than ordinary people.
Over 200 people gathered in Brussels to express frustration and call for a clean energy future which puts people at the centre.

Thousands of university, college and school students – joined by workers – are marching in London and Manchester against Tory cuts to education, fee rises and attacks on jobs and services.
The revolution in Tunisia and uprising in Egypt have clearly inspired the marches. Marchers have chanted, “Egypt, Egypt everywhere.”
London
Aisha, an FE student from Camden in north London said, “I’ve been on all the demonstrations, but some of my friends are here who haven’t been out on the protests before.
“I like the slogan ‘This is only the beginning’, because it’s going to be a long fight against this government.”
Theo, a school student from south east London, took part in the Day X walkouts last year. He said, “Lots of people who want to go to university won’t be able to and people will definitely be affected by the cuts to EMA [Education Maintenance Allowance]. The government is making the wrong people pay – the bankers are getting hundreds of thousands in bonuses.”
For workers, the student protests have been an inspiration.
A GMB rep joining the protest in London said, “I’m here to show solidarity with the students. I’ve got a daughter who has just gone through university and there is no way she would have been able to afford £9,000 a year fees.
“I’m also here to say that I don’t believe in these cuts. We’ve got to stick together workers and students. I think that the TUC demo on the 26 March can give people confidence to fight.”
UCU lecturer Vicky Margree works at the University of Brighton. She said, “We face 100 percent cut in arts and humanities funding which will hit universities hard. And the new fees will make university unaffordable for the majority of people.”
Kelly Rogers, a Unison organiser, said, “Unless we show solidarity with younger people we may as well give up. Students have led the way and enthused workers, showing us how to fight.”
Solidarity with the Egyptian uprising
In London the mood was electric as up to a thousand students joined the many hundreds of people already protesting in solidarity with the Egyptian people outside the embassy off Park Lane.
Chants of “Solidarity, solidarity,” “London and Cairo unite and fight” and “Hey ho Mubarak has to go” are ringing through the air.
One man on the original protest said, “I can’t believe that all these young people have come to support us. This makes us feel even stronger. I can’t wait to send the pictures of all you British people who have come to support us to people back home.”
Before reaching the embassy, the protest stopped outside the Tory HQ at Millbank – a focus of student anger and protests last year – as students chanted, “Tory scum, here we come.”

Eva joined an international school project: she went for 3 months to school in a small village near Moulins, France. I brought her to France in Mieke's car, to bring all her clothes and the bike. First we made a stop-over in Paris, where we stayed with my friends Renaud and Crhistophe. They live on the Ile de la Cite with an amazing view on the Notre Dame. The next morning we visited the Musee Rodin and then we picked up the fasther of the femily where she was going to stay, as he joined us in the car to Moulins. On the way back I went to my father's home on the countryside, near La Chatre. Unfortunately it took some efford to get the key of the house, so I had to sleep in the car. In the morning I strolled through La Chatre, took a strong coffee and eat a croissant in the small town. In the afternoon I fell asleep in my father's garden, before driving back home.

HUMPHREYS GARRISON — Joining millions of people around the world, about 250 members of the U.S. Army Garrison Humphreys community, along with 100 students and adults from Pyeongtaek City, participated in Make a Difference Day by helping to clean up Deog Dong San City Park, in Pyeongtaek, Oct. 23.
According to Denise Chappell, the Army Community Service volunteer coordinator and project officer for the event, “Make a Difference Day is the most encompassing national day of helping others; a celebration of neighbors helping neighbors.”
The program was created by USA Weekend Magazine 20 years ago and has become an annual event that takes place on the fourth Saturday of October.
This was the third year in a row that the garrison partnered with the local community to participate in the program.
At the park, volunteers from the Bright Society-Goodwill, Cooperation and Service Shinhan High School Chapter, Pyeongtaek City’s Park and Green Belt Management Division and People-to-People International Shinhan High School Chapter, were waiting with gloves and trash bags, ready to get started.
In addition to picking up trash, there was also a need to help build a nicer walking trail, which required some of the volunteers to carry stone and shale, which were leveled out by other helpers. This was used to provide better traction for those who walk the trail on a regular basis.
