As part of ongoing work to tackle serious and organised crime in #Merseyside, police and partners held an event at the Odeon Cinema in Liverpool One this morning for young people. The ‘Dear Merseyside’ event was attended by the families of Ashley Dale, Olivia Pratt-Korbel, Elle Edwards and Sam Rimmer and featured a film with spoken word artist Joseph Roberts delivering a message of awareness and hope across EVOLVE areas, which are those identified as being worst affected by organised crime groups. 120 schoolchildren from 10 schools attended and heard from Everton in the Community LFC Foundation and Catch 22 who provide support and services to young people at risk of exploitation or have already been exploited by organised crime groups. The aim of the ‘Dear Merseyside’ event was to start reaching a younger audience to promote the work of EVOLVE in helping to shut down criminal gangs and strengthen areas that have been worst affected by their activity, which is where the children who attended live and go to school. EVOLVE is Merseyside’s response to the Home Office’s Clear, Hold, Build strategy which is a multi-partnership approach to improve communities identified as being worst affected by serious and organised crime. EVOLVE aims to clear these areas of criminal gangs through intelligence-led enforcement targeting organised crime groups, their networks, business interests, criminality and enablers. There are three existing EVOLVE operations in Merseyside – EVOLVE #Liverpool #Knowsley which extends to Dovecot, Yew Tree, Page Moss, Longview, Huyton and immediate surrounding areas; EVOLVE #Netherton covering the Park Lane area; and EVOLVE #Wirral which covers Woodchurch, Beechwood and Noctorum. EVOLVE Everton will be launching in the New Year.

Our message is clear❗ Nowhere is safe when it comes to driving under the influence 🛑 Today, we teamed up with Lancashire Constabulary to launch Operation Limit, an annual national campaign to crack down on drug and drink drivers over the festive period 🎄 The joint operation took place at Robin Island in #Maghull on the border between the two regions. Traffic moving in both directions was subject to randomised stop checks, with drug wipes and breathalysers being deployed by both forces on drivers coming and going from each area. Please remember: 👉 Alcohol and drugs can remain in your system for longer than you think. You could be over the limit when driving to work the next day, or even with your children on the school run. 👉 Everyone on our roads has a responsibility to keep themselves and others safe and we have zero tolerance for those who choose to drive impaired. 👉 Say no to drink or drug-driving so everyone can stay safe and get home this #Christmas Don't be the reason for someone or yourself becoming a casualty on our roads and think before you get behind the wheel. Anyone who suspects that someone is either about to, or is currently, driving under the influence should call 999.

This is Dave Robbins. He has recently celebrated his 50 years of service with us 🌟 Dave was born in 1953 in #Liverpool, and after training in engineering and completing his apprenticeship, he realised he wanted an outdoor job, so joined us in 1974 when he was just 21. His career as a Police Constable in South Liverpool spanned an impressive 30 years, with his last post being at Admiral Street. Dave said he “enjoyed living and working” in the community he served during that time. In 2005, Dave moved into the General Enquiry Office team and has stayed there ever since. He worked at Marsh Lane for seven years until moving to the Birkenhead and Wallasey stations. He has helped look after the Police Cadets in Sefton in a voluntary role, and still continues to work with the community on a regular basis. During his time on the front desk, he has worked with various Domestic Violence organisations and given talks on campaigns such as Clare’s Law ❤️ Dave has undertaken a mentoring role with University of Chester and more recently with Liverpool John Moores University. This role involves having two students for five weeks. During their placement Dave shows them all Merseyside Police has to offer and at the end of their time they have a good understanding of how the criminal justice system works. In his spare time, Dave was a scout leader for 15 years and travelled the world with local charities delivering aid to children, such as building an orphanage in Belarus, building playgrounds in Kosovo and delivering Christmas presents to children in Mozambique! When asked why he has dedicated 50 years of his life to Merseyside Police, Dave said because he “enjoys helping people”. He added: “It’s only now I realise how lucky I have been in having an employer like Merseyside Police who have supported me throughout my career”. Congratulations on hitting such an incredible milestone Dave, you are an absolute asset to our force 👏
