It’s expected officers will continue throughout the day with public transport also being a focus of the resources of the force today.
Chief Superintendent Danny Inglis, Rochdale District Commander said: “The overall aim is to send a message of reassurance to the public. It’s about saying these are things you’ve told us are concerning and we are responding to that appropriately.
