We are incredibly sad to say PC Jane Bridgewater very sadly passed away last week.
She had over twenty years distinguished service at BTP. Our deepest condolences are with her wife Bernie, her family, and all those who knew and loved her 💙

Thank you Jason, your kind words go along way amongst our policing family. I’m glad somebody of your status has recognised the hard work we as police officers do on the front line! Given your pro police approach, next time mines a tea none! 👌🏻

We are aware of claims about razor blades being left in stickers in toilets at Manchester Oxford Rd Station.
We'd like to assure everyone that our officers have conducted a thorough sweep of the area and reviewed CCTV and can confirm no trace of these stickers has been found.
On Friday we received a report of a man spotted on a train at Wigan North with a dog believed to be stolen.
Officers took Jessie to a vet overnight before reuniting her with her paws-itively delighted owner the next day. 🐶💙
The man was spoken to and enquiries are ongoing.
