Neighbourhood Officer – Walkden South
I have served with Greater Manchester Police for over 10 years and currently work as the neighbourhood officer for Walkden South. My role is to work closely with residents, businesses and partner agencies to address local concerns and improve community safety.
My current focus includes youth engagement, tackling drug crime and supporting long-term problem solving within the community. I regularly attend neighbourhood engagement events and work with local partners to tackle the issues that matter most to residents.
I encourage members of the community to attend local meetings and share their concerns so that together we can help make our neighbourhood a safer place to live, work and visit.
