The weather might not be great today but we are pleased all the same to launch our new water safety campaign to help prevent accidental drownings in Greater Manchester’s waterways 🌊 These incidents do tend to happen more so when it's hot, however, can happen at any time 😢 pic.twitter.com/XobCSQtBx3
At 15:55 yesterday we were contacted by @NWAmbulance who were requesting our assistance near Rivington Pike. A three year old boy was out walking with his family just below the Pike tower when he was struck by a male riding a mountian bike. Continued... facebook.com/58756182794365…
As we enter further easing of restrictions this weekend the @NWAmbulance have enhanced their plans to ensure we can respond to the increase in demand we will face. Please be careful, and remember we are still dealing with COVID-19. #SaveLives
How many other countries have unarmed officers running towards knife wielding killers. British Police really are quite remarkable when you stop to think about that.

Incident 64/2008
This evening, 27 team members provided standby rescue cover for this year’s Hendersons End Fell Race. Most of the event, which attracted a senior field of 95 runners passed totally without incident when at 20:45 we received a report that a female fell runner had gone over on her ankle on the steep slopes just below the Pigeon Tower at Rivington on the final stages of the event.
Two team members were immediately on hand and called for assistance from our BM4 and BM3 Landrover spot pickup crews.
The 38 year old experienced female runner involved (from Darwen) was transported to the event finish where her ankle injury (a suspected fractured ankle) worsened in pain and swelling.
It was decided to take her directly to Royal Bolton Hospital for treatment, whilst at the same time we administered painkilling drugs.
We subsequently found out from the woman involved that she had received very painful ligament damage to her ankle, and she has promised to run in a sponsored half marathon (or similar) for the team when she is back to full health.
