Your Neighbourhood Policing Team
I’m Gareth Edwards, Inspector, covering the areas of Prestwich, Whitefield, Radcliffe, Unsworth areas in Bury
I have worked in GMP for over 23 years covering a variety of roles including Response, Specialist Operations, Custody and now Neighbourhoods.
I have a dedicated team of Sgts, Constables and PCSO’s who are committed to their areas and work alongside the community to achieve results.
We aim to keep in touch through our social media pages, neighbourhood watch meetings and other regular surgeries in the local area.
You can contact any of your neighbourhood staff directly and we aim to respond as soon as we can to any issues.
I cover a diverse area, however the common themes of crime and anti-social behaviour remain our core business in each ward area.
However we can help, do not hesitate to contact us.
