More that 100 extra police officers  will soon  be on the beat  on the streets of  Greater Manchester .  The extra police officers will join neighbourhood police team teams already in place.  Manchester Labour led the way in striking a deal with other Greater Manchester councils and the police.

Manchester Councillor Paul Murphy said, “As the chair of the Police Authority I am very pleased to fund over 100 extra police officers. They will be based in neighbourhood police teams and will help in reducing crime and anti social behaviour in your area.   This demonstrates Manchester Labour listens to residents and we have responded with more police officers

The extra police officers will be backed up by 191  community  support officers who are already making an impact on our streets.”.
