I have served with Greater Manchester Police for over 22 years and currently work as the Inspector on the South Neighbourhood Team. Prior to this current posting I have worked across a number of specialist departments within GMP and most recently I was the Neighbourhood Inspector for the West area of Bolton. My role is to manage and oversee the Performance of the four teams within the South Neighbourhood Team, driving priorities that are set from force command as well as those issues raised locally by residents and other members of the Community. Priorities for the Neighbourhood Team will change regularly due to operational demand and events though there will always be an ongoing focus on Road safety and Enforcement / Acquisitive crime / Drug Dealing and Anti- Social Behaviour as these are constant issues that are raised by the community and affect the most people. I will attend neighbourhood engagement events (PACT Meetings) and work with local partners particularly those from the Council and Housing providers as well as local Councillors to tackle the issues that matter most to residents. I would 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 am Mike Dixon, a Neighbourhood Sergeant for the Rumworth and Hulton areas of Bolton, with 20 years' policing experience built largely on a proactive background. I like to tackle issues head on, and I focus on early intervention and problem solving so that issues are dealt with before they escalate. I am committed to targeting the crime and anti-social behavior that matter most to local residents. I work with partners and the community to understand local priorities and help deliver results. I am always happy to meet with people and develop new initiatives that make a real difference.

I have served with Greater Manchester Police since October 2023 and have worked within Neighbourhood Policing throughout my service, covering the Deane and Rumworth areas.

My role involves working closely with residents, local businesses, housing providers, and partner agencies to tackle crime, anti-social behaviour, and issues affecting community safety. I am committed to ensuring residents feel safe, listened to, and supported, particularly those who are most vulnerable.

Through strong partnership working, I have helped secure Closure Orders, Community Protection Warnings and Notices, tenancy enforcement action, and developed intelligence relating to drug-related criminality. These positive outcomes have been achieved through collaboration with partners and, importantly, information provided by local residents.

I encourage everyone to engage with their local neighbourhood officers, whether by speaking to us directly or attending community drop-in sessions. Community information is invaluable in helping us identify concerns, problem-solve effectively, and make Deane and Rumworth safer places to live, work, and visit.

I have served with Greater Manchester Police for 18 years and I am currently working as a Neighbourhood Beat Officer for Rumworth Bolton, I am commited to providing a visible, approachable and responsive policing presence, my responsibilities include preventing and reducing crime, anti social behaviour, supporting vulnerable residents, responding to community concerns and contributing to local traffic operations to improve road safety.

I welcome residents speaking to me, attending local community meetings and events.

I have served with Greater Manchester Police for 20 years and currently work as the Neighbourhood PCSO for Rumworth. My role involves working with residents, local businesses and partner agencies to address crime, anti-social behaviour and other issues affecting the local community.
My current priorities include tackling off road bike issues, reducing anti-social behaviour and improving community confidence through visible neighbourhood policing. I regularly attend engagement events and community meetings and work closely with partner organisations to identify and resolve local issues.
