Operation Avro is a new initiative that gives a different district in Greater Manchester a surge in new resources and specialist officers every month.
It is intended to be a highly visible operation. They intend for the public to see that they are responding to their concerns of crime.
Today, officers were given public briefings in Walkden and at the Lowry, which the public were allowed to attend. Read more about that here.
It is not just raids the police have conducted, they have cracked down on road crime too.
