We usually keep to Wirral reports on crime matters but these seem to be of interest as many Wirral residents go to Liverpool for a ‘happy night out’.  The link to drugs raids demonstrates that there is no let-up on the Police determination to fight the pushers, and comes close on the heels of several police successes this side of the water.

But while our cops are keeping the streets safe for the rest of us spare a thought for the risks they take every day.  The link below describes how Merseyside cops are the subject to so many attacks that in 2109/10  Police officers missed 534 days of work after assaults against them during the course of duty.

Given the immense success Wirral cops have also had against drugs gangs we feel the following links about what is happening just across the water may be of interest to our regular readers.
