Norden

Hello, my name is Meena Yasin and I am the Local Neighbourhood Police Team Inspector for Rochdale NORTH (P1)

I am the lead responsible officer in charge of #Operation Affect which is our ambitious collaboration with residents, communities, and partner agencies across the Borough to work together turn around the Freehold estate using the Clear Hold Build methodology. This project has gained widespread support and recognition both regionally and nationally.

Rochdale Town Centre is vibrant and lively, offering a whole host of retail, food and leisure activities for residents, families and visitors. We have implemented #OperationTetbury which is the dedicated Clear Hold Build initiative on Rochdale Town Centre. Our aim is to have a ‘whole system’ approach working with statutory, community, voluntary and business communities to reduce crime and ASB, and to support regeneration and growth.

P1 Rochdale North is diverse covering large areas of both urban and rural communities. These all require a variety of tactics to problem solve. #OperationDragster for example, is our dedicated off-road bikes operation to support our rural communities.

As a neighbourhood Inspector my role is to locally deliver GMPs vision of neighbourhood policing. This includes engagement with communities, targeted activity and enforcement, and, problem solving with partners to reduce primary, secondary and tertiary demand.

Working with our partners and listening to our communities forms the foundations of successful neighbourhood policing. On these webpages therefore you will find contacts for your local NBO and PCSO along with details of forthcoming meetings/surgeries where you can speak to your local officer face to face.

Innovation is key to problem solving We invest heavily in problem solving repeat demand generators in terms of individual, address or location. I have a team of motivated officers and staff that are passionate about serving their communities.

Our priorities for P1 Rochdale North include delivering two successful Clear Hold Builds, investigating Neighbourhood Crime, reducing drugs offences, and managing multi-agency interventions against anti-social behaviour offenders.
