Greater Manchester Police is bringing a nationwide project aimed at deterring criminality to Manchester Airport this week.
Project Servator was launched in Manchester city centre during last year’s Christmas Markets, seeing police, partners, businesses and the public working together to deter, detect and disrupt a range of criminal activity, from pickpocketing and theft to terrorism.
Now, the airport policing team, Manchester Airport and partners are bringing it to the one of the country’s busiest airports.
Airport users can expect to see highly visible police deployments happening in any part of the airport at any time of the day.
Inspector Alan Kelly, who helps lead the policing team at the Airport, said: “I am really pleased to be introducing Project Servator to Manchester Airport. It is a fantastic opportunity for us to engage with passengers, visitors and staff using the airport and to work with them and our airport security partners to keep everyone safe and add another layer of security to our existing policing methods.”
