The Heywood Neighbourhood Policing Team is working hard to address the issues affecting your community and to reduce crime.

The main issues affecting your neighbourhood area:

Anti-social behaviour
Youths causing a nuisance
Burglary
Criminal Damage

You will find your meetings and surgeries under the meetings tab on this page.

Acting on information from our community we have been carrying out a number of drugs warrants with success. We will keep you updated on the progress of these.

We have also been increasing patrols and leafleting the areas that have been highlighted as hotspots for burglary. We know that this is a concern of yours and we want to remind you we are working hard to target the offenders and make them pay for their crimes. We aim to keep you updated with any arrests we make for crimes in this area.

Officers continue to work on Operation Quasar. This is our weekend initiative designed to tackle anti-social behaviour. During the summer holiday period patrols have been increased to end any activity that makes life difficult for residents.

Early visits will be made to known ‘hotspots’ and groups of youths will be warned of the consequences of their actions. Working alongside the licensing officers the Neighbourhood Policing Teams will visit licensed premises to remind staff of their responsibilities and will use a wide range of enforcement tactics including, stop and accounts, public order legislation, fixed penalty notices and directions to leave an area.
