Merseyside Police Rapid Response Praised.

THIS weekend, our paper had an unusual incident that required the rapid response of Merseyside Police. We cannot go into detail for legal reasons, but we would like to thank all the officers who helped and also we would like to go on record to praise the professional manner in which they conducted themselves throughout the incident. Our paper also wishes to go on record to thank the 'Emergency 999 phone operations' who tasked the incident which produced an extremely rapid response. We are very grateful. You are all a credit to Merseyside Police Force!
