Saddleworth West and Lees

I’m 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.

Thank You.

My name is Andy Holian, and I’m proud to introduce myself as the new Neighbourhood Sergeant for the Saddleworth and Lees area of Oldham.

It’s a privilege to step into this role and serve a community with such a strong sense of identity, resilience, and pride. I bring 22 years of policing experience, having spent the majority of my career as a Response Officer and Sergeant, working closely with communities during their most challenging moments.

As your Neighbourhood Sergeant, my aim is to be visible, approachable, and proactive; preventing, responding to, and dealing with the issues that affect you most. The concerns that matter to you will shape our priorities. But we can only address them effectively by working together. Your information, your insights, and your willingness to speak to us are vital. When you tell us what’s happening where you live, you help us protect the vulnerable, deter crime, and keep Saddleworth and Lees the safe and welcoming place it deserves to be.

My team and I will continue to share regular updates through Bee in the Loop, Greater Manchester Police’s free two way messaging service. It’s one of the best ways to stay informed, raise concerns, and play an active role in shaping the safety of your area.

I’m looking forward to meeting many of you in the coming weeks; whether at community events, local meetings, or simply out and about on patrol. Together, we can build on the excellent work already underway and make a real difference.
