A new pilot scheme, launched this week, will significantly boost the ability to tackle and prevent crime and antisocial behaviour on Greater Manchester’s bus and tram network.
Under the Travelsafe Partnership, a dedicated team of 16 police constables, police community support officers, special constables and security personnel will provide regular patrols on the region’s networks for the next three years.
Led by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) and Greater Manchester Police (GMP), the scheme will use crime and antisocial behaviour data from contributing operators – Metrolink, First Bus and Stagecoach – to target patrols in hotspot areas at key times and support front line staff.
The establishment of a dedicated team will provide expertise and knowledge that will also assist in the identification of repeat offenders, while the provision of body-worn cameras in conjunction with existing public transport CCTV will help gather evidence for prosecutions.
Where appropriate, the partnership will seek to use legal powers to ban offenders from public transport and deliver restorative justice schemes following prosecution.
The pilot will also focus on preventative measures and youth education, with uniformed officers visiting schools to educate youngsters on the dangers, impacts and consequences of crime, antisocial behaviour and fare evasion on public transport.
The pilot will initially run for three years but will be subject to formal annual reviews and regular scrutiny by a strategy group made up of members from organisations involved.
To find out more about Greater Manchester Police please visit our website.
You should call 101, the national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.
Always call 999 in an emergency, such as when a crime is in progress, violence is being used or threatened or where there is danger to life.
You can also call anonymously with information about crime to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Crimestoppers is an independent charity who will not want your name, just your information. Your call will not be traced or recorded and you do not have to go to court or give a statement.
The Rhino Seeker Missile Launcher is the slowest seeker missile launching weapon with a launch speed of 600 mph. It uses an electronic sight and utilizes a loading port that slides out.
Note: Seeker missile launchers don't need the blast duct in the back to release the exhaust (a way to save our environment)

At Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, a Poly Picosatellite Orbital Deployer, or P-POD, container is installed on the Joint Polar Satellite System-1, or JPSS-1, spacecraft. P-PODS are auxiliary payloads launched aboard NASA expendable launch vehicles carrying up to three small CubeSats. The small cube-shaped satellites are part of NASA’s Educational Launch of Nanosatellite, or ELaNa, missions. The small payloads are designed and built by students from high school-level classes up to college and university students. JPSS is the first in a series of four next-generation environmental satellites in a collaborative program between the NOAA and NASA. Liftoff from Vandenberg's Space Launch Compex-2 atop a United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket is scheduled for 1:47 a.m. PST (4:47 a.m. EST), on Nov. 14, 2017.

Yesterday (Monday 8 November) officers from GMP's Bury Neighbourhood Policing Team, alongside Bury community safety partners and other agencies launched Operation Saturn - a multi-agency proactive response aimed at tackling anti-social behaviour and other crimes across the district.
The launch follows a recent increase in anti-social behaviour and crime involving young people across the district, including a series of knife point robberies in Bury town centre and a violent disorder at Radcliffe Metrolink station last month, both of which resulted in arrests.
The high-visibility operation will see neighbourhood and specialist officers working closely alongside partners and community stakeholders including youth services and TFGM staff to target specific hotspot areas of ASB & crime across the district.
The operation launched yesterday on the Central Neighbourhood and focused on Bury town centre, Bury East, Redvales and Moorside areas including the Bury transport interchange.
Chief Superintendent Chris Hill of GMP's Bury District said: "Operation Saturn is about getting back to basics and working with partners and communities in the right place and the right time to really make a difference.
"This is about high visibility and getting officers out onto the streets to listen to what our communities have to say and to help provide that protective and reassuring presence. It's also about sending a message to offenders that GMP is here and we will take action wherever it's needed to bring this type of offending right down.
"Yesterday's launch was a really positive step in our commitment to protecting our community and I very much look forward to seeing how this develops and improves over time."
Chief Inspector Jamie Collins of GMP's Bury district said: "The feedback from the Bury communities is that they don’t see enough neighbourhood officers policing there areas."
"Operation Saturn is about putting high visibility uniformed officers into the areas of concern and is just one of the positive steps forward in our pledge to prevent and reduce crime, harm and ASB.
"This operation goes back to the basics of policing and focuses on the importance of high-visibility patrols on our streets and ensuring we are engaging with members of the community, to both understand their concerns for the area and also offer advice and tips of how best to stay keep safe from harm.
"Our communities expect to see us on foot across the district and in their neighbourhoods and we are committed to making this a normality and making our Borough a safe and welcoming place to live."
Bury Council’s cabinet member for communities Councillor Richard Gold said: "We know there have been increasing concerns from residents about anti-social behaviour and it's important that residents feel safe and secure when they're out and about in their own homes. This initiative is great because will help to target those hot spot locations, and with lots of visible officers, will help in the overall fight against anti-social behaviour.
"Seeing more police out on the streets is definitely the way forward and very much helps with community reassurance and I look forward to seeing regular repeat operations of this kind in the area."

From the Rootstein Mannequin Launch last night.... the mannequins were wearing vintage Dior Couture....
Had a great set of launches today in Livermore. Recovered all the mid-power rockets, which is a special treat. On this LOC Precision Starburst rocket, you can see the two Aerotech F-size motors burning side-by-side in the full size image.
The wide-bottom rocket waiting on the pad flies without fins.
Casualties of the day:
* Only recovered the digital altimeter from "Flower Power" which roared to 3,232 feet. Hopefully someone in Livermore will find the parachute and main tube that drifted out of sight.
* Lost the bottom half of the photo rocket (but I recovered the nose-cone camera and am collecting photos from apogee on 110 roll film).

In the early 1960s American advisers in Vietnam requested an automatic grenade launcher which could act as a force multiplier. The US Army responded in September 1963, by calling on private industry to submit designs for a low velocity 40mm automatic grenade launcher. The new launcher had to weight below 12lbs and feed from a belt. Four competing companies submitted designs with the entry from the Aerojet Ordnance Manufacturing Company tentatively selected in February 1964.
Throughout 1965 Aerojet worked up their design and with feedback from the Army altered it to fire from a closed rather than open bolt and a sem-automatic fire capability. The weapon was initially designed to fire from a tripod but the Ordnance Corps also requested a design with a buttstock which could fire from a bipod. The weapons sights were taken from the shoulder-fired, single shot M79. It appears that the general shape of the XM174′s receiver and pistol grip were styled after the M1919 medium machine gun, possibly for the sake of user familiarity.
Designated the ‘Launcher Grenade 40MM Low Velocity Automatic, XM174′, Aerojet continued development throughout 1966 with the assistance and oversight of Springfield Armory and Rock Island Arsenal. It was initially envisaged that the new grenade launcher would be vehicle and tripod mounted but weighing under 12lbs, less than half the M60 light machine gun, the Army quickly saw hip-fire potential in the XM174.
Despite being lighter than an M60, the XM174 proved to be less ergonomic and more difficult to carry in the field. Aerojet developed a 12-round drum to carry the weapon’s belt to ease carrying and loading on the move. When field tested in Vietnam the drum magazine was found to be fragile and suffered a high attrition rate. Units from all three services tested the XM174 in Vietnam. Including Air Force base security units, the 1st Battalion, 27th Infantry Division and the USMC. In the photograph above we can see Major Joseph Flynn, 26th Marine Regiment, explaining the specific features of the XM174 to a group of generals in October 1969.
While the XM174 suffered teething problems in the field including issues with the drum system, poor ergonomics and complaints about its effective range. In the meantime Naval Ordnance Station Louisville had developed the Mk19 in 1968. The Mk19 was quickly adopted for vehicle and tripod mounted use by the Marine Corps and Army and the Ordnance Corps abandoned the XM174, some continued to be used in Vietnam into the early 1970s. Troops at squad level continued to use the M79, XM148 and the M203.
Thirteen seconds into the launch, before the holding clamps were released, the flight had been aborted by the monitoring computer system. This photo is from the live web-cast from Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands.
Looks like they may try another launch when the problem that halted the launch is fixed.
