PCSO David Chiocci
Swinley, Whelley and Aspull.

I have served with Greater Manchester Police for twenty years and currently work as Community Support Officer for Swinley, Whelley and Aspull.

My role is to patrol each area, gather Intelligence and work with partner agencies.

My current focus is to monitor crime trends and maintain contact with residents, schools and businesses.

I have seven years' service with Greater Manchester Police and have built my career on a proactive, victim-focused approach to policing. I am committed to reducing crime, protecting vulnerable people and taking positive action against offenders to keep our communities safe.
During my time on Response Policing, I worked in a fast-paced environment dealing with a wide range of incidents involving violence, vulnerability and risk. This experience developed my ability to make effective decisions under pressure, manage challenging situations and take immediate action to safeguard victims, secure evidence and support successful prosecutions.
Since joining the Neighbourhood Area Team, I have continued to build on this experience through proactive policing, problem-solving and partnership working. While community engagement is an important part of the role, I believe public confidence is gained by delivering results, tackling crime and taking action against those responsible for causing harm in our communities.
I am committed to disrupting criminal behaviour, pursuing offenders and using the powers available to me to protect victims and reduce harm. I take personal responsibility for addressing issues that affect my community and work hard to ensure they are dealt with professionally and effectively.
I hold myself to high standards and believe the people of Greater Manchester deserve a police force that is visible, accountable and committed to action. I am proud to serve the communities of Wigan and remain dedicated to policing my neighbourhoods.
