You may have noticed we had an increased presence in #Newcastle and #Sunderland today in response to potential protest activity taking place.

We all need to speak up.
Know someone involved in recent disorder?
Recognise a face in footage?
Another way to help keep your community safe from violence is by telling @CrimestoppersUK anonymously the names of people who have been causing harm & destruction on our streets. 1/2
Thanks to Newcastle Leader Cllr Nick Kemp for bringing the community and voluntary sectors of Newcastle together tonight for a meeting with myself and Northumbria Police along with the North East Mayor. This was a great example of community in action.

Keeping you safe is our top priority. We have a robust policing response to protect and support communities.
I'm in regular contact with the Chief Constable and confident in the approach to ensure a visible police presence, and swift action against violence and hate crime.
From the encouraging scenes in Newcastle last night as people took to the streets to reject all hatred to how Sunderland came together in the aftermath of Friday’s violence – it all serves as a true reminder of the friendly, supportive and compassionate values of our area.

Six people have now been charged in connection with violent disorder which took place in #Sunderland – with more arrests made.
It comes as our investigation into the disgraceful scenes witnessed on Friday continues.

Two men & a woman have been convicted for their roles in the violent disorder in #Sunderland.
Today, Leanne Hodgson, Josh Kellett and Andrew Smith all pleaded guilty following the disgraceful scenes on Friday evening.
They've been remanded in custody until sentencing. (1/3)
Getting this form filled in could really make a difference with how quickly a loved one is found. People need to know about it and my thanks go to @Vicky_McClure and @northumbriapol Police for pushing awareness.
