We have launched our annual drink and drug drive operation, as part of our ongoing commitment to keeping the region's roads safe during one of the busiest periods of the year. 

The comprehensive enforcement campaign, which will run throughout December and into the New Year, aims to tackle the persistent issue of impaired driving during the festive season, when social gatherings and celebrations traditionally lead to an increase in drink and drug driving offences. 

The month-long campaign runs until Wednesday 1 January 2025 and will see an intensified police presence across all 10 Greater Manchester boroughs, with officers conducting roadside breath and drug testing operations at strategic locations.

Our Roads Policing Units (RPU) will be working with Neighbourhood Teams and partner agencies, to ensure maximum coverage during peak periods, particularly during weekends and the morning after nights out.
