Your Neighbourhood Policing Team
I have served with Greater Manchester Police for 6 years and currently work as the neighbourhood officer for Bryn. My role is to work closely with residents, businesses and partner agencies to address local concerns and improve community safety.

Our key priorities are to make you feel safe within the areas you live by focussing on the following four themes; reducing Burglary, tackling Anti-Social Behaviour, dealing robustly with drug use and supply, and to promote and enforce safety on our roads.
We recently held a Partners and Communities Together (PACT) meeting in March. The main concern raised was speeding in the community. As a result, we are focusing on carrying out further speed enforcement in the area.
We have conducted numerous off road and speeding operations and we will continue to carry out targeted speed enforcement at the locations highlighted in the meeting. We will hold another meeting in a few months’ time and will post details on Bee in the Loop and this website. venue and date to be confirmedAction taken:
Across Abram, Ashton-in-Makerfield South, Bryn with Ashton-in-Makerfield North, Golborne and Lowton West, Lowton East, Hindley and Hindley Green, we have been carrying out targeted activity focusing on drugs and burglaries. Warrants have been executed, leading to arrests and the disruption of drug-related activity.
Operation Hurricane has been implemented to tackle anti-social behaviour caused by off-road motorcycles, using specialist equipment and officers such as drones and traffic units. Wigan District has seized 101 off-road vehicles in 2025, up from 64 in 2024.
We have also set up a Community Speed Watch team for Lowton and Golborne. This involves local residents, trained by GMP, who assist with speed enforcement activity in these areas and have had a significant impact on reducing speeding.
Across Wigan we have seen an 8% increase in Arrests, 24% reduction in Residential Burglary, 21% reduction in Personal Robbery, 16.4% reduction in knife Crime incidents, 9.3% reduction in shoplifting and 3% reduction in Vehicle Crime over the last year. -
