Your Neighbourhood Policing Team
I have served with Greater Manchester Police for 17 years and currently lead neighbourhood policing across North and East Tameside. My role is to ensure our neighbourhood teams remain effective, visible and focused on tackling crime, anti-social behaviour and the issues causing the greatest harm to local communities.
I work closely with frontline officers, partner agencies and analysts to identify crime patterns, understand emerging trends and direct resources where they can have the greatest impact. My focus is on problem solving, targeting repeat offenders and ensuring our teams are focused on the issues that matter most to residents. By using intelligence, evidence and local knowledge, we aim to prevent crime, reduce anti-social behaviour and make our communities safer.
