| ACC Seabridge on Raid-control: |

"Winning these awards is a major achievement and it demonstrates the commitment of these members of staff in reducing retail robberies. Over the last two years we have implemented Raid-control in retail outlets across Greater Manchester and it is extremely satisfying to see the excellent results it has achieved so far, particularly in Stockport. The impact on the people involved in a robbery is of greatest concern to us, but being able to help tackle this crime through Raid-control is starting to make a real difference."
- Assistant Chief Constable Ian Seabridge, Greater Manchester Police |
