Your Neighbourhood Policing Team
I am Inspector Kevin Wright and I cover Ramsbottom, North Manor, Tottington, Church, Elton, Moorside, Redvales and Bury town centre.
I joined Greater Manchester Police in June 1998 and during my service I have worked in a variety of uniform roles including on response, district robbery units and on the neighbourhood team.
I have always enjoyed front line policing, problem solving and partnership work. Neighbourhood policing is something I truly believe can have a positive impact on communities and working with partners and yourselves we can target and deal with those individuals who negatively impact your quality of life.
I understand the issues in our areas are burglary, anti-social behaviour, drug dealing and knife crime. My officers and staff are working day and night to ensure that we prevent these types of offences .On these pages you will find priorities in our area that we continue to work on. We will update these priorities with the action we have taken to remedy them.

You Said, We Did:
Speeding remains a priority for our team and Operation Halt continues to keep road users safe where we receive repeat complaints of speeding and other road related concerns.
We have set up a Community Speed Watch scheme (CSW) which should be launching this year. The scheme aims to tackle local speeding issues and allows residents to become police-trained volunteers to monitor vehicle speeds in their communities, with the aim of changing the behaviour of road users who drive above the speed limit through that area.
Over the past few months, the local NPT team have been tackling reports of Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) in Ramsbottom including drug dealing and inappropriate use of vehicles. We have been supported by the Council’s Housing Services and Anti-Social Behaviour team and have issued Community Protection Warnings to protect the interests of the community.
Officers review all the information that is passed on to Police regarding drug possession and supply and respond proactively by conducting stop searches, obtaining drug warrants and disrupting drug production and supply.
Our PCSO’s are attending schools regularly, helping to deliver safety messages to pupils across the borough. During drop off and pick up times they show presence to ensure that those who use vehicles do so in a safe and courteous manner.
