British Traffic policemen on Emergency 999 Response. British Police patrol cars attending vehicle traffic stop on Marine Drive, Southport promenade, Merseyside UK. Two police vehicles were used in a pursuit tactic, as well as using red and blue lights to pull over the motorist speeding.


Today (Thursday, 9 June), Merseyside Police launced Operation Brookdale, our annual summer campaign to target the criminal and anti-social use of off-road bikes, and unlicenced vehicles across Merseyside. The operation, which will run between now and September, got underway with a strike day across the force, responding to community information on the suspected storage of illegal bikes. Throughout the operation, Neighbourhood officers in Wirral, Sefton, Knowsley, St Helens and Liverpool are supported by officers from the specialist Roads Policing Unit, vehicle crime, the dog and mounted sections, and the National Police Air Service (NPAS) Helicopter, working closely with Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service, local authorities, and housing agencies, who will in turn be using their own powers and legislation to stop offenders in their tracks.
