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."

Built 1943 at the Ranelagh Yard, Wooton Creek, Isle of Wight as an Air Sea Rescue Launch for the RAF, GEORGE HAIG has a mahogany double diagonal hull and Perkins diesel engines which replaced the original Perkins petrol engines when she was de-commissioned in 1947. She was taken on charge on 1st June 1943 at Calshot in 238MU, and originally allocated to the base but was transferred to the Admiralty on 23rd February 1944.
She was converted by Leo Robinson (possibly at Tewkesbury) in May 1944 and allocated to Special Forces for Operation Overlord serving with ANCXF (Allied Naval Command eXpeditionary Force). This group was the Anglo-American force that made all the preparations for the invading forces in Normandy. She was allocated to HMS LUCIFER at Swansea on 24th May 1944 and after D-Day was re-allocated to HMS VECTIS in December 1944, She was utilized for boarding party duties until HMS VECTIS was decommissioned in May 1945. Later that year she was laid up but was retained for re-allocation. Two such allocations were authorized but both were subsequently cancelled and on the 10th December 1945 she was laid up at DSCD at Poole.
She was registered as PINNACE at Poole (she was registered as no 17 in Poole 1949) to Maurice Wilkinson Derrick, Redhall, Roestock, St Albans, Staffs. She was then purchased by R.G. Davidge on 1 April 1961for £3100 from John Peate, 30 Elgin Court, Parkstone, Dorset. On Sunday 20 August 1961, PINNACE was rescued by the Shoreham lifeboat after going to the help of a capsized dinghy, when the rigging and sails of the dinghy had fouled her propeller.
In the 1961 season, she visited Shoreham (home port), Gosport, Cowes, Le Havre, Newhaven and Shoreham. In 1962, she visited Pin Mill and Harwich. In October 1962 she was renamed GEORGE HAIG. In 1965/66 she underwent an alteration to make a saloon over the engine room. In the 1960s, she cruised extensively from Lands End to Harwich, Holland, Belgium and through the French canals.
In 1971 immediately after R.G. Davidge had sold GEORGE HAIG, her new owners were arrested for drug smuggling. From 1971 – 1987 her whereabouts were not known, but in 1987 she was bought by Mike Johnson who kept her at Essex Marina on the River Crouch until 1998 and then moved her to Dauntless Boat Yard, Canvey Island.
She is now moored at Leigh on Sea and has her original wheelhouse together with equipment and controls. Her engines are still installed and could be restored to working order. She is one of only a few surviving RAF Air Sea Rescue Launches from the approximately 30 built at Ranelagh Yard in the Isle of Wight in the early 1940s.

Quite a bit of PS work needed here to take out the sun reflections on my twin Singh-Ray Filters here. I used my three stop reverse grad and two stop hard edged grad to hold back that direct sunlight whilst exposing properly for the foreground rocks.
I'm not sure that the whole shot escaped totally unscathed - but I like the energy of the breaking wave and the rushing water in the foreground.
Hope you enjoy it too ;-)

Greater Manchester Police has launched its Christmas campaign today as part of ‘GMP Christmas’, tackling crime and protecting vulnerable people over the festive period.
This year’s online Advent campaign sees a festive cast take over usual TV programming with the launch of Tinsel TV. A new video will be released every day from 1 December, which sees Rudolph, Snowman and a Big Bad Wolf join Santa and his helpers as they host a series of TV programmes with crime prevention advice for the residents of Greater Manchester.
GMP is encouraging people to think about how they might keep themselves safe, and to consider what their present to, or presence within, their community, family or friendships might be.
At the same time, the campaign will showcase the promises that GMP makes to the public at Christmas and all year round, using a mixture of law enforcement and public engagement to protect the local communities.
Operationally, high-visibility patrols will be in place across the region to detect and deter criminal activity, as well as providing reassurance and assistance. There will also be 12 high-profile days of action which will tackle the traditional spike in crime usually seen during this time of year.
Purse bells and other crime prevention tools will be handed out to shoppers in town centres to keep thieves at bay, and police are also maintaining a strong presence around car parks to help prevent items being stolen from vehicles.
The Christmas drink and drug drive operation, which also starts today (1 December 2015), will continue throughout the month and officers will be testing motorists around the clock and reinforcing the ‘none for the road’ message.
In addition, officers and cadets will be delivering hampers to the elderly and those in need, and the public will be given a live insight into the world of policing on one of the busiest days of the year – Mad Friday.
Assistant Chief Constable John O’Hare said:
“This time of year is a busy one for the force and our colleagues across the emergency services, and we have been thoroughly preparing for the festive period.
“Our top priority is making sure that the people of Greater Manchester enjoy Christmas in the safest possible manner.
“It can be a very busy time of year, but we are asking the public to take some time to have a think about what their Christmas present might be to their community or family. Whether you promise to visit an elderly relative or neighbour, or volunteer to be the designated driver for friends on a night out, we can all do our part to keep ourselves and others safe this season.
“This Christmas, GMP will be present to tackle criminals and protect the people of Greater Manchester. We hope our neighbourhoods can embrace the spirit of community this Christmas and share their presence, too.”
Greater Manchester Mayor and Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Lloyd said:
“Christmas brings out the best in Greater Manchester people – the majority of whom are generous and warm-hearted. I hope people will tap into that festive community spirit and look out for older friends and neighbours who perhaps need a little help and company this year.
“There will always be those who want to spoil the party for everyone, so please take care of yourself and your friends when you’re out enjoying yourselves, and make sure everyone gets home safe and sound.”
People can post their Christmas promises online using one of the GMP templates, available at www.gmp.police.uk.
People can also visit the website to check out the daily videos giving seasonal crime prevention advice, or follow #GMPChristmas on social media for the latest police activity throughout December.

An Atlas V lifts a TDRS-K communications satellite to orbit from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. As seen from the west side of Tampa Bay.
An Atlas V rocket blazes into the night sky from LC-41. On board is NASA's new Tracking and Data Relay Satellite, TDRS-K, the first of three new satellites that will replace older satellites currently in orbit. Lots of people were parked up along the highway and in the car park by the Indian River to catch this first launch of 2013, I was glad this came out as well as it did - I almost missed it by looking the wrong way as it launched!

Countdown Day #1
Well, it is now less than 24 hours before we depart for Alaska .... in fact, it is a mere 12 hours away from the beginning of our journey, though we won't reach our destination for many hours after that. Either way, this is an exciting time for us.
Believe it or not .... for those who know I'm BIG on procrastinating, especially when it comes to packing ..... but I'm officially packed! Well, all except the last minutes things (phones, chargers, ipods, computers, etc). Tom isn't home from "work" yet and I don't think that he believes me - LOL - but it's true!
So this evening I thought I would post an image that represents how I feel.......
Last year we spent several nights out on what locals refer to affectionately "The Spit" in the town of Homer. It's a wonderful funky place, which is the starting place to many types of adventure - kayaking, hiking, world class fishing, and for us, it's where we depart from to go see the coastal brown bears. It is also the home to the famous "Eagle Lady", who unfortunately passed away a year and a half ago. For those of you who are unaware, she would feed the bald eagles in the winter scraps of fish from the canning factory where she was once employed. The eagles visited her home on "The Spit" daily by the hundreds and it became a photographer's dream for shooting bald eagles. Nowadays, they don't officially allow it, but the bald eagles still have a relatively strong showing in the area. This particular one was along the beach where we were camping in our RV.
I love this shot - and I feel that it's quite appropriate for posting today - because of the way this bald eagle was focused and ready to launch into the air, with it's legs moving, it's talons getting prepped and stretched, as well as it's wings in position for it's impending take-off.
That's exactly how I feel - I've done everything that I've needed to do and I'm ready to launch as well! Tomorrow morning we'll be in the air and soaring across the US, over parts of Canada, and on to Alaska.... I might even get "to see Russia" from there ; - ). Anyways, don't need to say how excited we are.
Thanks for stopping by and counting down the days with us. We've enjoyed all of the comments along the way as well. Will catch up with everyone when we return, until then, Happy Shooting!
Still hyped after seeing Star Wars The Force Awakens yesterday! I won't be posting spoilers for at least a week... I realized after I came home that I didn't compose this shot the way I was thinking of, but here it is. I'll go back and do another sometime soon.
