Operation Fightback

Operation Fightback was a campaign launched in the late 1980s by law enforcement in the United Kingdom to combat the rise in organized crime, particularly drug trafficking and related violence. It involved coordinated efforts among various police forces, intelligence agencies, and community organizations to disrupt criminal activities. The operation focused on increasing surveillance, conducting targeted raids, and fostering community support to enhance safety and deter crime. By emphasizing collaboration and proactive policing, it aimed to reduce the influence of gangs and improve public safety while addressing the root causes of criminal behavior in affected areas.
