I am Stu Berry, Police Inspector, covering Saddleworth & Lees, Royton, Shaw and Crompton, St James & Waterhead.
I’ve worked for GMP for 20 years covering various areas and in a variety of specialist and non-specialist roles including Chairman of Greater Manchester Police Federation. I am a resident of Oldham, and I am passionate about making our community safer, reducing crime and antisocial behaviour.
My team and I understand the local issues which can range from antisocial behaviour drugs offences and serious acquisitive crime. My officers and staff are, and will continue, to work hard day and night to ensure that we can provide an effective neighbourhood policing strategy.
My ask from the local community is that you work alongside my team and I and provide information and intelligence which can be implemented into our policing response to local issues. That flow of information and intelligence from the community will give us the tools to do the job. It is vital for our ongoing endeavours to be proactive and bring people to justice.

I have served with Greater Manchester Police for over six years and currently work as the Neighbourhood Officer for Crompton.
I am passionate about neighbourhood policing and enjoy working closely with residents, local businesses and partner agencies to understand and address the issues that matter most to our communities. A key part of my role is building positive relationships, listening to local concerns and working together to find long-term solutions that help make our neighbourhood's safer and more welcoming places to live and work.
Alongside my work in Crompton, I also support my colleagues across Royton and Shaw, with our wider team working together to make all three areas safer and stronger communities.
I regularly attend local engagement events and enjoy meeting residents, hearing their views and giving people the opportunity to speak directly with their local policing team.
My aim is to be a visible, approachable and familiar face within the community, ensuring residents feel listened to and know that we are working with them to address the issues that are important to them.
I am committed to continuing to work alongside our communities and local partners to help make Crompton, Royton and Shaw safe and welcoming places for everyone.
