Special constables of Greater Manchester Police and Cheshire Police have today, 9 January 2015, taken part in Operation Fezzan.
The overall aim of the joint operation was to disrupt illegal activity between the two counties and deny criminals the use of the roads.
By using Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras officers were able to monitor vehicles that crossed between the two counties, stopping any that were on the roads illegally or were linked to criminal activity.
The operation was centred around the forces' border near Poynton.
Special constables are volunteer police officers who give up their time to help keep our communities safe. They have the same powers as regular officers and provide police forces across the country with thousands of hours of additional policing every month.

Police seized 41 vehicles during a two-day traffic operation earlier this week.
Officers were out in force with partner agencies as part of Operation Unity, which targeted a range of offences on the roads.
Check sites were set up in Gorton, Eastlands, Bolton and Manchester and during the course of the two days 575 vehicles were stopped.
Twelve vehicles were seized for being used illegally in the UK, 24 vehicles were seized for no insurance, two were seized for being driven without a licence and three were seized by the DVLA.
Police also issued 100 Traffic Offence Reports (TORs) to motorists, including 43 to drivers using a mobile phone and 16 for seatbelt offences.
The Drive & Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) issued 55 prohibitions to commercial drivers for vehicle defects.
One vehicle was dealt with for red diesel, six taxi drivers were suspended and a 50-year old man was arrested on suspicion of two robberies in Tameside and remains in police custody for questioning.
Sergeant Garry Lyle from GMP’s Traffic Enforcement Unit said: “Partners and officers came together over the last two days to target offenders and send a stark reminder out to motorists that we will not let them compromise the safety of others on our roads.
“The Traffic Enforcement Unit deals with offences such as these on a daily basis but not to the same extent. We’re really grateful to our partners for assisting us throughout the operation and look forward to doing more of the same in the very near future.”
To report a crime please call police on 101 or ring Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Seventeen people have today, Thursday 18 October 2012, been arrested following a crackdown on the supply of drugs in Cheetham Hill and Crumpsall.
As part of a pre-planned operation, dubbed Operation Cairo, warrants have been executed at eighteen addresses in north Manchester and Salford.
Specialist officers from GMP's tactical aid unit have teamed up with detectives and neighbourhood officers from the north Manchester division as part of this day of action.
Superintendent Vanessa Jardine said: "The supply of drugs can blight our communities but today's action is aimed at ridding our streets of this nuisance.
"Community-led intelligence has told us that there has been issue developing of dealing of heroin in particular in Cheetham Hill and Crumpsall, including reports of drugs being bought and sold in broad daylight.
"We also have intelligence to suggest there are tensions between rival gangs of drug dealers and that a 'turf war' is developing.
"These issues cannot be tolerated.
"It is a priority for Greater Manchester Police to tackle the threat of organised crime, and to increase confidence in policing. Today we have shown that we are committed to these priorities.
"Not only do drugs fuel many other crimes such as burglary, robbery and vehicle crime, they are also a major driving force behind organised crime groups and today we have hit them where it hurts by disrupting their income.
"I hope we have also increased confidence in policing by proving to the vast majority of decent, law-abiding residents of Cheetham Hill and Crumpsall that we listen to their concerns and act on the information that they give us.
"The fact that more than 20 local people, be they residents, councillors or businesspeople, came to our 5.30am briefing shows that we are all working together to root out this problem.
"Let today be a stark warning to anyone involved in drugs activity that not only will they face the full force of the law, but through Proceeds of Crime Act legislation, they will also end up out of pocket.
"Residents will also notice an increased police presence today, as leaflets will be dropped through letterboxes to explain what is happening, and drugs workers are also on hand to support addicts affected by today's operation."

1913 dated postcard view of flooding at Delphi, Indiana. This was the Great Flood of 1913. The flood affected much of Indiana and portions of surrounding states. The photographer was on the south side of the city, standing east of Market Street and looking south. The flooding was associated with Deer Creek that ran along the foot of the ridge in the background. That ridge is part of Riley Park today.
The structures in the foreground would have been on the northeast corner at Market and Water Streets, but are not in the Sanborn™ map set. This must be the “stone crusher” mentioned in the message on the back of the postcard. The boys in this scene were standing on a pile of rocks that may have been part of the crushing operation. The large building and the house in the center of this scene stood southwest of the intersection of Market and Water Streets. These structures are shown in the 1912 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Delphi. The utility poles immediately behind these structures stood along the Wabash Valley Traction Co. line that followed Deer Creek in this part of the city. The company’s station was a block east (left in this view) on Water Street at the Washington Street intersection.
The large building in the center of this view was identified in the Sanborn™ map set as the Crystal Steam Laundry and Ice Cream Factory. The larger part of the building facing Water Street was the laundry. A rear addition to the building that can’t be seen from this angle was the ice cream factory. The low sheds at the back were separate from the laundry/ice cream factory structure and were part of the ice house according to the map set.
The postcard’s dateline is April 5, a few days after the flood event. “Herman” addressed the postcard to Mr. and Mrs. August Piepho at Dyer, Indiana. His message says, “The Laundry and Stone-Crusher below our hill is shown here after the flood had gone down a little.” “Herman” was probably August (Herman) Piepho who resided in Delphi for a while.
Near the left edge of the postcard, one of the buildings at the top of the ridge had a small bell tower. The Sanborn™ map set didn’t include this area, but that building was probably a small church in the area known as South Delphi.
From a private collection.
The other side of this postcard can be seen here.

Yesterday (Wednesday 11 March 2020), officers from Greater Manchester Police and the City of London Police’s Intellectual Property Crime Unit (PIPCU) executed a number of warrants at Great Ducie Street, Manchester.
Officers from GMP and the City of London Police - the national policing lead for fraud – worked alongside UK immigration, meaning a total of 100 officers and staff members were involved in the operation.
The search warrant, which developed from a previous operation that involved the sale and distribution of counterfeit items, saw thousands of labels, computer equipment and cash seized.
Detectives are currently exploring links between the counterfeit operation and Serious Organised Crime, helping to fund criminal activity beyond Greater Manchester.
15 people were arrested, after officers uncovered an estimated £7.5 million worth of branded clothing, shoes and perfume suspected to be counterfeit.
Chief Inspector Kirsten Buggy, of GMP’s North Manchester division, said: “Yesterday’s operation is one of the largest of its kind ever carried out in the area and has taken a meticulous amount of planning and preparation.
“I am thankful to colleagues from the City of London Police, who as the national policing lead for fraud, have worked in partnership with officers from GMP and helped bring about yesterday’s direct action. I am also grateful to those from UK Immigration for their help.
“Such partnerships are absolutely vital when tackling counterfeit operations, as they bring specialisms from across the country together in a bid to make an impactive and real difference. Steps such as yesterday are often only the start when it comes to investigating the scale of these operations and we will continue to work in conjunction with the City of London’s Intellectual Property Crime Unit to tackle this type of offending to its’ very core.
“It is important to recognise the far-reaching and serious impact of sophisticated and large scale counterfeit operations such as this one; and I would like to take this opportunity to remind members of the public of the repercussions of this kind of offending and the link to organised criminal activity. Please be under no illusion- this type of crime is not victimless.”
Police staff investigator Charlotte Beattie, of the City of London Police’s Intellectual Property Crime Unit (PIPCU), said:
“The counterfeit goods business is a deceiving one and the key message to be take away from this operation, is that counterfeiting is not a victimless crime.
“An individual may think that when buying counterfeit goods they are only affecting a multi-million pound brand, and won’t matter, when in fact they are helping to fund organised criminal activity. Counterfeit goods also pose a health risk to individuals as they usually are not fit for purpose or have not gone through the legal health and safety checks.
“Working in partnership has ensured that today’s operation has been a success. We will continue to work with Greater Manchester Police and UK Immigration to tackle the scourge of the counterfeit goods problem.”

Special constables of Greater Manchester Police and Cheshire Police have today, 9 January 2015, taken part in Operation Fezzan.
The overall aim of the joint operation was to disrupt illegal activity between the two counties and deny criminals the use of the roads.
By using Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras officers were able to monitor vehicles that crossed between the two counties, stopping any that were on the roads illegally or were linked to criminal activity.

Greater Manchester Police has launched a major operation that will see more than 50 officers a day, alongside Manchester City Council and university staff carry out a number of tactics to tackle student-related crime.
Statistics show that 1 in 10 students will become a victim of crime while studying in Manchester, so this operation aims to ensure the 70,000 students descending on universities across the city have a safe and enjoyable experience.
"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.
"We understand that crime prevention will not be one of their top priorities, but unfortunately some criminals do see students as easy targets. In particular, over the last three years, 16 per cent of burglaries within the city of Manchester involved students," said Chief Superintendent Russ Jackson heading up the operation.
"We will be doing everything in our power to prevent students becoming victims of crime by working with the universities to provide students with advice on keeping themselves and their property safe and ensuring those responsible are caught and brought to justice."
Over the coming months Operation Safe Return will see GMP working alongside Manchester City Council and staff at each university carrying out high-profile patrols on foot, bicycles and in vehicles, targeting the main hotspot areas.
Video cameras will be used to gather intelligence and known offenders of student crime will be targeted. PCSOs will be visiting the homes of students who live in vulnerable areas to carry out crime prevention surveys and provide advice.
Officers will also deliver face-to-face talks to welcome new students to the city and urge them to become more security savvy. While other students will be shown a DVD, including information about how to keep themselves and their property safe.
Chief Superintendent Russ Jackson continues: "There are some really simple steps that students can take to protect themselves becoming a victim of crime. Our advice is that while out and about, you should keep to well-lit areas, stay in groups 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."
Cllr Jim Battle, Manchester City Council's Deputy Leader, said: "Manchester is a great city for students, and we want to send out a clear message that by sticking to a few simple steps, they can make sure they remain safe during their time here."
Posters advising students on how to stop themselves falling victim to robbery and burglary will be displayed around the university campus' and in the residential areas. Crime prevention messages will also be displayed on lamppost banners down the Oxford Road corridor.
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.
For more advice on keeping safe, students can log on to: www.manchester.gov.uk/StudentSafety

Three people have been arrested after early morning warrants were executed in Manchester.
Earlier this morning (Friday 29 November 2019), officers executed warrants at two addresses in Cheetham Hill and made three arrests in relation to an ongoing firearms investigation.
The action comes after GMP launched a dedicated operation – codenamed Heamus - earlier in the month. The operation is set to tackle a dispute between two local crime groups, following a series of firearms discharges which have taken place since the beginning of September 2019.
Superintendent Rebecca Boyce, of GMP’s City of Manchester division, said: “Following this morning’s direct action, we have three people in custody and I would like to thank those officers who have worked extremely hard as part of this ongoing operation and who are committed to keeping the people of Cheetham Hill safe.
“Whilst we believe that these incidents have been targeted, we understand and appreciate how concerned local residents may be and as a result of this have set up this dedicated operation. We want to reassure those who feel affected that we are doing all that we can and stress that we are treating these incidents as an absolute priority.
“This is a complex investigation, which brings its own challenges and whilst we have made arrests, we are continuing to appeal for the public’s help. We believe that answers lie within the community and would urge anyone with information to get in touch. Whether you want to speak to us directly, or whether you’d prefer to talk to Crimestoppers anonymously, please do so if you think you can assist our enquiries with even the smallest piece of information.
“We will continue to work closely with partners in order to disrupt this kind of activity and I hope that this morning’s action demonstrates that are working hard in order to prevent any further incidents and protect those in our communities.
“This type of criminal behaviour is reckless and dangerous- it will not be tolerated on our streets.”
Anyone with information should call 0161 856 1146, quoting incident number 2348 of 18/11/19. Reports can also be made anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
