Your Neighbourhood Policing Team
I am Inspector Will Coleman and I manage the West Geographical area of Bolton, with responsibility for Horwich & Blackrod, Westhoughton, Heaton and Lostock.
I joined Greater Manchester Police in 2009 and have worked on the Bolton District for the entirety of my service. In 2021 I was promoted to Sergeant and in 2025 to Inspector.
I moved to the Neighbourhood team in July 2026 having previously worked on the district’s response and tasking teams.
I’m incredibly proud to be a Police Officer and to have reached the rank of Inspector. I care passionately about Policing and the positive impact my officers can make to the communities we are responsible for.
My team is full of dedicated and really experienced officers at Sergeant, Constable and PCSO levels. The team is really well supported by our local partners and our aim is to improve the quality of life for residents by problem solving and responding to concerns and issues raised.
My team will be visible on their beats, identifying and robustly dealing with suspects through pro-active use of police powers to reduce offending, anti-social behaviour and achieving positive outcomes for victims and the wider community.

The team have executed a number of search warrants in relation to Drug Supply and the Importation of Controlled Drugs. Through the ongoing work as well as arrests made and tenancy warnings issued 4 problematic addresses in the area have now had their tenancy revoked by landlords and will be handed over to new residents as a result. The team will continue to develop Intelligence for further warrants and targeting of offenders.
