This years annual Christmas campaign is aimed at preventing crime and protecting communities during the festive period.
The ‘crime cracker’ theme to Operation Shepherd aims to encourage people to take steps to guard against the types of crime that can happen at Christmas.
Please refer to our crime prevention advice pages on how you can stay safe during the festive period and follow #OpShepherd on social media for latest news and updates.
Report crimes or suspicious behaviour to Merseyside Police via the social media desk on X @MerPolCC or Facebook ‘MerPolCC’ or call 101. You can also report anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. In an emergency, always call 999.
If you have been affected by crime, Victim Care Merseyside can help. Their local, trained staff can offer you free, confidential, non-judgemental advice and support. Visit: Request Support: Victim Care Merseyside or Freephone 0808 175 3080.
