Merseyside has shown what it means to come together in solidarity, even when it is shocked to the very core, the Chief Constable has said.
Whether the challenges brought on by covid, the terror attack on the Women's Hospital or the death of 12-year-old Ava White, Merseyside communities have shown what it means to come together. The last year has been anything but easy, but Merseyside Police force has a "Scouse pride" and continues to "work hard" with communities to keep people safe.
Looking back at the last 12 months in her role, Merseyside Police Chief Constable Serena Kennedy spoke to the ECHO about the challenges the force has faced. Ms Kennedy's top priorities are tackling serious organised crime, violence against women and girls, community engagement, inclusion, well-being and prevention and she said she aims to "enhance" that work.
