Behind the Scenes: LimpingFrog Productions defines "Sacrifice" during Operation Giveback by LimpingFrog Productions

ORLANDO, Fla. - LimpingFrog Productions partnered with Operation Giveback to produce a highlight reel for the 5th Annual 5k/10k Run, Walk, Roll held May 16, 2015, at the University of Central Florida.

Created by veterans of Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom, Operation Giveback for Wounded Warriors, Inc. (OGB) is a non-profit organziation committed to raising funds and awareness for America's wounded warriors and the families of fallen heroes.

"This race is one of several charitable events that OGB hosts around the country," said Jose Garcia, founder of Operation Giveback and retired Army command sergeant major. "Together these events not only raise money for wounded warriors and families who lost a loved one while serving their country, [but] they also instill hope by reminding them that their sacrfices will always be remembered by a grateful nation."

LimpingFrog Productions' crack team of videographers and photographers captured the action both on the ground and in the air while highlighting the faith, hope and charity that drew thousands of people to compete and volunteer for this event.

"This was the first time in our company's 10-year history that we incoporated a drone in our projects," said John L. Carkeet IV, executive producer of LimpingFrog Productions. "The stunning 'eye in the sky' perspective uniquely visualizes the outpour of support for the men and women who lost limbs and sometimes their very lives while defending our nation."

Currently serving as a public affairs noncommissioned officer in the Army Reserve, Carkeet could relate closely to these sacrfices when tragedy struck the very foundation of LimpingFrog Productions just one week earlier. While volunteering for a five-month tour with U.S. Army Japan near Tokyo, Carkeet received a call from his wife who informed him that Adam T. Lee, co-founder of LimpingFrog Productions, perished in a tram accident at the Orlando International Airport on May 8.

"I was too shocked to shed tears at first," recalled Carkeet. "It took a few minutes to accept the fact that my close friend and business partner of 17 years was gone forever. I'm not ashamed to admit that, when the truth finally registered, my wales could be heard throughout the barracks."

Carkeet and Lee met in 1998 while they worked as volunteer production assistants for Time Warner Cable in Melbourne, Fla. After producing several short films and dcumentaries during their undergraduate years at the University of Central Florida, the pair started LimpingFrog Productions in 2004. Carkeet and Lee partnered with numerous clients under the LimpingFrog banner to produce various projects digital media from weddings and commercials to sport documentaries and corporate events.

"LimpingFrog Productions was a part-time operation until 2010," said Carkeet. "That was when Adam had single-handedly locked in our first long-term client while I completed basic military training for the U.S. Army Reserve. [Adam] continued to expand the business while I fulfilled various military assignments both at home and abroad."

Lee was preparing to step in as director for the Operation Giveback while Carkeet embarked on his latest military assignment in Japan. Lee died 10 days after the two met to discuss the future of the company.

"We were editing our highlight reel and preparing to unveil our new website," said Carkeet. "We tabled a few topics until Adam returned from his vacation to Columbia. Sadly, those and every other business-related matters settle onto my shaky hands and tear-stricken face."

Hours after the last runner crossed the finish line at UCF, Carkeet and his team broke down their gear and made their way to Rockledge, Fla, to attend a memorial ceremony to celebrate the life of an inspiring individual.

"It was stressful day and a emotionally draining night," admitted Carkeet. "However, the new and familiar faces that supported this endeavor offer hope that LimpingFrog Productions will continue Adam's legacy."

Operation Trafalgar by Greater Manchester Police

1

Thirty three (33) people have so far today, Wednesday 28 January 2015, been arrested following a huge crackdown on the supply of drugs across Greater Manchester.

Officers have executed warrants at 53 addresses across the region this morning as part of Operation Trafalgar, a pre-planned operation.

Police have also seized an imitation firearm, a quantity of heroin, several thousands of pounds of cash, three cars and discovered two cannabis farms.

Specialist officers from GMP’s Tactical Aid Unit teamed up with detectives and neighbourhood officers on each of Greater Manchester’s 11 divisions.

Superintendent Craig Thompson from the Specialist Operations Branch said: “Today’s operation sends a clear message to drug dealers that we will take robust action to disrupt their activity and put them in front of the courts.

“Drug dealers have no respect for local communities and we will not stand by and allow them to cause misery in order to fuel their own dishonest and antisocial lifestyles.

“Tackling drug-related crime is daily business and officers are out there every single day of the year hunting those responsible for bringing drugs into our communities.

“Help us weed out these individuals and put them behind bars where they deserve to be by calling the police or Crimestoppers anonymously.”

For updates on Operation Trafalgar, follow #OpTrafalgar on Twitter.

Visit our website for information about Neighbourhood Policing in your area of Greater Manchester. www.gmp.police.uk

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.

Operation Student Safe by Greater Manchester Police

2 1

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.”

To view the Operation Student Safe film please click here.

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 join us on Facebook and search for Manchester Student Safety, or visit www.gmp.police.uk

Operation Valant Arrest by Greater Manchester Police

5 1

Assistant Chief Constable Garry Shewan leads a team of officers making an arrest as part of Operation Valant, the Greater Manchester Police operation to bring those responsible for recent large scale disorder in the region, to justice.

Greater Manchester Police is continuing to arrest all those suspected of being involved in the disorder in the city centre and Salford.

Thanks to the launch of the Shop a Looter campaign, with pictures of those suspected of being involved in looting displayed on huge advertising vans, GMP has been inundated with information from members of the public.

Thanks to that support, police have been able to make a number of arrests on Thursday evening and overnight, bringing the total number of arrests since Tuesday’s disorder to more than 200.

A 14-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of burglary.

A 17-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of burglary after he boasted on his Facebook site he could not be caught.

Another handed himself in after his friend saw his picture on the ad vans and called him to say his image was all over Manchester and had no place to hide.

ACC Garry Shewan said: "We said we would be coming for you, and we are. Within minutes of the ad van being launched in Manchester with the faces of some of those people involved, we have been inundated with information from members of the public about who these people are.

“These are just some of the good arrests we have made – I have been told of countless more by officers who are using every piece of information and every available avenue to find these people and bring them in.

"With the help of our communities we are identifying these people and arresting them. This is just the start - we will not rest until we have identified everyone involved."

Operation Rescind 3 by Greater Manchester Police

3

Greater Manchester Police’s has today made a series of arrests during an operation to target drug dealing in Oldham.

Officers of the Force raided 10 addresses in the town just after 6am today, Thursday 3 November 2011.

Officers from Oldham's neighbourhood policing teams launched the operation, codenamed Operation Rescind III, in response to community concerns that drug dealing was a problem in the area and was in turn, increasing crime and antisocial behaviour.

The raids follow on from Operation Rescind and Operation Rescind II, where officers raided 16 addresses in March 2011 and 15 addresses in July 2011, which came after months of investigation by officers from Oldham and the Serious Crime Division into the distribution of heroin and crack cocaine.

In the latest raids this morning, seven men and six women were arrested on suspicion of drugs offences, including possession with intent to supply class A drugs, after officers executed warrants across the Oldham area. One woman was arrested on suspicion of illegally abstracting electricity.

Properties were raided in the Hathershaw, Westwood, Fitton Hill and Saddleworth areas.

Items seized during this morning’s raids include around £16k in cash and a large amount of drugs, which are believed to be cocaine/heroin. Two vehicles, an imitation firearm and ammunition were also recovered.

More than 100 officers were involved in the raids and included officers from the neighbourhood policing teams, Serious Crime Division, tactical aid units and dog handlers.

Extra officers from Oldham's Neighbourhood Policing Teams will be patrolling the area for today and the next few days to provide a visible presence and reassurance to the community.

Superintendent Catherine Hankinson, from Greater Manchester Police's Oldham Division, said: "Today shows that the desire to rid our communities of the blight of drugs is continuous and we will go back and keep tackling the issue in the same area as many times as necessary until the problem is dealt with.

"Residents told us that dealing was a worry to them so we have responded robustly to combat this.

"Drugs wreck lives and the crime associated with them causes misery to the whole community - so we do everything possible to find out who is responsible and put them before the courts.

"These arrests are the culmination of hundreds of hours of work by officers and our counterparts at the Crown Prosecution Service. We have used divisional and force resources to gather the intelligence we needed to take this action. It is not a quick process and we thank the community for their patience while we have been building the strongest case possible.
