The force received a record-breaking 152,000 contacts from the public, the highest ever recorded in a single month. Officers made an average of 200 arrests per day during the month. Detectives continued investigations and supported victims, and neighbourhood officers focused on building community confidence and tackling anti-social behaviour. Police staff, including intelligence teams, analysts, administrators, and custody teams, kept the force running behind the scenes and managed the high number of detainees following arrests. The month tested the force’s systems and personnel, but police say it demonstrated the professionalism and commitment of its workforce.
