Hulton

Hello, my name is Chris Chadwick and I am one of the Neighbourhood Officers, covering the area of Hulton.

I have been with Greater Manchester Police for last five and a half years. Prior to me becoming a police officer with GMP, I worked in Communications for Lancashire Police and held that role for nearly four years.

I started my career with GMP as a Response Officer in Bolton and I worked on response for four years. I moved to the Rumworth and Hulton Neighbourhood Team in April 2024 and I have really enjoyed my new role so far. I wanted to the Neighbourhood Team because although I enjoyed my role on Response, I really wanted to get to know the people of Bolton a lot better and hopefully held resolve community priorities. I really like seeing jobs through from start to finish and on neighbourhood this allows me to do that. It is my aim to make sure that Hulton is a safer place for you all to be in.

Hopefully I will see you around Hulton when I am on patrol and feel free to come and say hello.

I have served with Greater Manchester Police for 17 years and currently work as the neighbourhood officer for Hulton/Rumworth. My role is to work closely with residents, businesses and partner agencies to address local concerns and improve community safety.
My current focus includes dealing with Anti social behaviour, such as Begging. Off Road Bikes , parking issues and shoplifting. I also work with partner agencies, such as Housing Associations to support them with their tenants, this includes problem solving within the community. I regularly attend neighbourhood engagement events and work with local partners to tackle the issues that matter most to residents.
I encourage members of the community to attend local meetings and share their concerns so that together we can help make our neighbourhood a safer place to live, work and visit. I hold regular “Coffee With a Cop” drop ins and regularly attend meetings with the local councillors and partner agencies.

I joined GMP in 2009 and originally worked in Kearsley, before moving onto Great Lever were I worked for 15 years. For the past 18 months I have been working on the Hulton area.
I really enjoy working with the Community and Partnership teams to help to solve ASB issues. In the past this has resulted in the installation of double yellow lines to solve parking issues, fencing and window locks to protect vulnerable residents in sheltered housing and gating to prevent Off Road bikes causing annoyance to residents. I have also worked with residents to clean up their park areas, to reduce ASB. I have set up Neighbourhood Watch schemes and have regularly held Police Surgeries. By working closely with the Community over the years, I have received information, leading to Warrants for Cannabis Farms . I especially like dealing with Traffic issues, and I have seized Numerous Vehicles over the years. I really enjoy working on this area, and care about your issues ,and I will try to make it, a better and safer place to live.

I have been a police officer for nearly five years and have worked across several different roles. Before moving into neighbourhood policing, I spent time on both response and investigation teams. Prior to joining GMP, I worked for Lancashire Police in the Control Room, answering 999 calls and dispatching officers to incidents.

While I really enjoyed working on response, I wanted to get to know the people of Bolton better and make a more direct impact within the community. Neighbourhood policing has given me that opportunity. I enjoy being out in the community, speaking with residents, understanding their concerns, and working with partners to solve local problems. You will rarely find me sat in the station, as I much prefer being out on patrol and engaging with the local community.
