It was with sadness that I learned of the death of the Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police, Michael Todd, yesterday.

Michael Todd was a distinguished Chief Constable with a lifetime of achievement in British policing behind him, who would have continued to make a great contribution to the fight against crime.

Although I never met Chief Constable Todd, I do have regular contact with local Police officers who I know admired him greatly, and will be very saddened by this tragic news.

My thoughts and sympathies go out to our hard working local police officers here in Prestwich today, as well as to the entire Greater Manchester Police service, and all of Chief Constable Todd’s colleagues, family and friends.
