Cheshire Chief Constable Condemns Violence After 10 Police Officers Assaulted in Just 48 Hours

The Chief Constable of Cheshire Constabulary, Mark Roberts, has spoken out strongly after ten police officers and PCSOs were assaulted over the course of just 48 hours, in what he described as “completely unacceptable” attacks on frontline staff. The assaults, which took place between Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 April, occurred across multiple locations in Cheshire while officers were responding to routine incidents. Victims were reportedly punched, pushed, kicked in the face, and in one shocking case, bitten. Cheshire Constabulary is urging the public to respect those who serve and is working to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all frontline officers.
