Rumworth

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 have worked for Greater Manchester Police for 10 years, starting as an apprentice member of staff, being a Police Constable for over 4 years and now a Police Sergeant for close to 3 years.

I have worked as part of neighbourhood teams in the past as staff and spent my officer career focusing on Response Policing. I have recently spent time as the Police Sergeant in the Neighbourhood Priority Crime Team, specialising in Burglaries, Robberies and Vehicle Crime across Bolton.

The local community is very important to me and I want to focus on the long term problems in Rumworth and Hulton that are affecting the residents.

Hello there, my name is Conor Finch. I am one of your neighbourhood officers, covering the areas of Rumworth and Deane in Bolton.
I have been with Greater Manchester Police since the Autumn of 2023. Before I became a neighbourhood officer,
I began my career with Greater Manchester Police after successfully enrolling in a graduate scheme in partnership with Liverpool John Moores University. The course enabled me to gain a deeper understanding of the necessities of neighbourhood policing. Before this, I graduated from Lancaster University, where I studied Criminology. In addition to this, I also volunteered alongside my studies as a special constable and helped with local homeless charities.
I really enjoy working in neighbourhood policing, and each shift I can see the importance of the relationship between the community and the police. It is really refreshing to see when the community, police, and partners work together in tackling issues that occur on the community’s doorsteps. I will always give my all in trying to get the best solution to these issues and overall creating a more enjoyable and safer place for the residents to live.
If you see me around your area, please come and say hi and take the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. I am here to help!

Hello, my name is PC Oz Patel and I’m one of your local neighbourhood officers covering the Rumworth and Deane areas of Bolton!
As for a little bit about myself… I have worked for Greater Manchester Police for 17 years and been part of the neighbourhood team since July 2022. I really value my role as a neighbourhood officer, engaging with the community and tackling local issues. My main priority within my area is building trust with local residents, preventing crime and tackling Anti-Social Behaviour.

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.
I encourage residents to speak with me at local events and share any concerns so we can work together to improve the area.
