By Operation Galaxy – Mission to keep communities safe this Christmas
We all know Christmas is going to be a bit different this year – but what’s not going to change is the continued efforts of Humberside Police to rid our communities of those who cause them the most harm.
Today, (Friday, 4th December), the force is launching a month of intensive action led by the Op Galaxy team to help make Christmas more enjoyable for the most vulnerable in our communities.
Chief Superintendent Darren Downs said:
“Christmas can be a really challenging time of year for many people at the best of times, so with the additional complications resulting from Covid-19 this year, we’re doing our bit to make it as safe and enjoyable as possible”.
“Typically at this time of year, we see an increase in domestic abuse, drink driving, online scams, burglary and sexual offences – and these are the offenders we’re going after”.
“Over the next few weeks we will have additional resources and specialist teams from across the force working alongside our dedicated Operation Galaxy unit, to make arrests, find and return stolen goods, seize drugs and weapons and take dangerous drivers off the roads”.
“We’ll also be sharing lots of help and advice on steps you can take to keep you, your friends, your family and neighbours safe and reduce your risk of crime”.
