Cheshire Police has conducted a three day operation aimed at protecting children and vulnerable people across the county. Operation Guardians ran from this week Monday 19th October 2026 to again this week Wednesday 21 October 2026, with hundreds of officers and staff members taking part, including from Local Policing and Beat Management Teams, PVP (Protecting Vulnerable People), OCAIT (Online Child Abuse Images Team) and SOMU (Sex Offender Management Unit), plus others. The force-wide operation focused on safeguarding children in Cheshire who go missing and may be at risk of exploitation, engaging with schoolchildren and partners, and ensuring those who have committed offences against children and vulnerable people are complying with the conditions of their bail or Sexual Harm Prevention Orders. There were high visibility patrols outside schools and plain clothes patrols in town centres throughout the days to tackle any anti-social behaviour while providing a reassuring policing presence. Schools and other partners were directly engaged with to ensure people knew to report any potential offences or concerns. There were a number of warrants executed across the force, plus visits to addresses in partnership with the probation service to ensure suspects were adhering to the conditions they were subject to. Some of the results of Operation Guardians were: 24 care home and supported accommodation visits completed, strengthening safeguarding arrangements and engaging vulnerable children and young people whilst not in crisis from these visits, several children were immediately safeguarded and protected from harm. Eight arrests made for offences including drug supply, breaches of safeguarding orders and indecent image offences. 83 offender management visits completed, including Registered Sex Offenders and High-Risk offenders. 14 secondary schools and educational settings visited. Children were taught about online safety, exploitation awareness and how to be safe in the community. Extensive focus on exploitation (Operation MakeSafe) completed across hotels, retailers, care homes and supported accommodation providers and this followed on from several proactive operations undertaken across several hotels in September and October 2026. Retailer engagement completed regarding the sale of vapes and cigarettes to children. Detective Superintendent Chris Williams, who co-ordinated the operation, said: Operation Guardians gives us the opportunity to throw the spotlight on the incredible work going on to protect the young and vulnerable across the county by multiple departments every single day – the whole year round. This weeks activities resulted in multiple arrests and a plethora of engagement activities across the county. As well as reassuring the public I think Operation Guardians sends a message to those who would harm children in Cheshire that we will utilise all the tools at our disposal to safeguard young and vulnerable people and anyone who is found to have committed any offences will be caught and held accountable. Anyone who has information relating to child abuse and exploitation or has any concerns can call Cheshire Constabulary on 101 or report information online via their website here: cheshire.police.uk and Information can also be provided anonymously by contacting Crimestoppers on 0800 555 11.
