Armed Forces Week 2024


This week marks the start of Armed Forces Week, a week enabling us to show our support for our Armed Forces community; from currently serving troops to service families, veterans, and cadets.

The annual observation culminates on the last Saturday of June with Armed Forces Day, which looks to boost morale among serving soldiers and signals an appreciation for the work they do for the UK and across the world.

In honour of Armed Forces Week, GMP has raised the Armed Forces flag outside FHQ, where it will remain flying until Saturday.

Kate Green, Deputy Mayor for Policing was on hand to help raise the flag.

ACC Chris Sykes, the Strategic Lead of GMP’s dedicated Armed Forces Network, said: “We are immensely proud to support our armed forces community, both through policing our local communities and within our own network of veterans and reservists in the force.

“Raising the flag at GMP signifies our unwavering commitment to honouring their sacrifices and contributions. It also serves as a powerful reminder of the shared values of service, dedication, and resilience that bind us together.”

Deputy Chief Constable Terry Woods, Deputy Mayor of Manchester Kate Green and ACC Chris Sykes were all in attendance as well as members of GMP’s Armed Forces Network.
