PC Benjamin Dowson
Neighbourhood Officer – Standish & Shevington / Beech Hill / Swinley / Aspull
I have served with Greater Manchester Police for 8 years and currently work as the neighbourhood officer for Standish & Shevington / Beech Hill / Swinley / Aspull. My role is to work closely with residents, local businesses and partner agencies to address crime, anti-social behaviour and other issues affecting the local community.
My current priorities include tackling road crime, targeting off road bikes, reducing anti-social behaviour and improving community confidence through visible neighbourhood policing. I regularly attend engagement events and community meetings and work closely with partner organisations to identify and resolve local issues.
I encourage residents to speak with me at local events and share any concerns so we can work together to improve the area.
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 particularly around off road bikes and E- bikes.
