Delighted that 3 of our very brave officers were recognised last night at the National Bravery award. As it says bittersweet recognition but quite right that they are acknowledged for their exceptional actions when faced with such adversity. We are all incredibly proud of them.
1️⃣1️⃣,0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ young people reached through Operation Prospect, our education project exploring knife and gun crime. Thank you to all the schools for taking part and helping us empower students to speak up, stay safe & make positive decisions. 👏

After a firearms incident today when a male was seriously injured, PD Theo was asked to help out. He covered a huge area which would have taken humans days to search in just over an hour, and located several pieces of evidence integral to the investigation. Fantastic work Theo!

I am determined to do everything possible to work with our partners to tackle crime and build a safer region ✨

Uniting Councillors across the region to focus on building a safer, stronger Merseyside 💚
Local Councillors are integral to helping protect our communities. They know what their residents need and by brining people from @lpoolcouncil@WirralCouncil@seftoncouncil@sthelenscouncil@KnowsleyCouncil together with @MerseyPolice means we can build stronger partnerships to tackle some of those local crime issues our communities are facing 👏

"Everyone recognised we've got a joint responsibility to drive down violence."
Two weeks ago we held our very first conference to show the impact of prevention - in our first five years we've made 1️⃣2️⃣0️⃣,0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣+ interventions, & seen a 2️⃣3️⃣% drop in serious violence.
Our Director, Supt Georgie Garvey tells us by coming together we can all help to improve on those numbers, preventing more young people from becoming impacted by serious violence.
We would like to take this moment to pay tribute to Alice Da Silva Aguiar, Bebe King, and Elsie Dot Stancombe who will be forever in our hearts and never be forgotten.
Our thoughts are with all of the victims who were injured and traumatised at Hart Space on Monday 29 July.
What happened on that day has impacted the community of Southport and across the country forever.
#SouthportTogether 💗
That's a wrap on our first showcase conference ‘Driving Change: The Impact of Prevention’ 👏
Over the years we’ve worked with so many amazing individuals and organisations who are absolutely committed to reducing harm, supporting young people and their families and tackling the root causes of violence.
This event was about providing a platform to showcase the difference they are making ✨
We’d like to thank all of our guest speakers and professionals for their attendance and providing such valuable insight & great discussions around how we can collectively prevent serious violence in our region 💜
