Salford Activity
Find your local officer, get the latest crime statistics and advice, help us with appeals for information and find out what we’re doing to tackle crime in your area: Salford | Greater Manchester Police
Below is a summary of activity we've undertaken as part of the Neighbourhood Policing Week of Action campaign across Salford:
Last week saw an extremely successful Op AVRO, with over 40 arrests across Salford.
But our work isn’t just about making arrests - it’s also about building strong relationships with our communities and working together to solve the problems you tell us about.
You have dedicated neighbourhood officers and PCSOs out every day, who are always approachable, ready to listen and there to help. We’re also proud to have school engagement officers in Salford, working closely with young people to educate, support and help them feel safe.
Together, we’re working to keep Salford a safe place for everyone.
In Irlam and Cadishead, PCSOs Mark and Mark were accompanied by the Irlam Primary School Junior PCSOs.
The group worked together to ensure the Irlam cenotaph was clean and tidy.
The junior PCSOs did a fantastic job, and we thank them for their help.
In Eccles, PCSO Fletcher was accompanied by Police Panda Imp attending the Monton Church coffee morning, Abbeydale nursing home, Arden Court care centre, and Barton Brook care home.
They stopped at each location for residents to take a look at the vehicles, uniforms and equipment.
PCSO Fletcher said: "It was good to see local residents, who came out smiling with positive engagement."
On Wednesday Irlam PCSO's Mark and Mark were at Tesco offering crime reduction advice, help and support. It was fantastic to see residents, young and old, interacting and asking for advice.
These events are an opportunity for local officers to break down barriers and let the public know we are here to help.
Several members of the public asked what we're doing to tackle the issue with misuse of off-road bikes in the area. We assured them that we are taking action, but we also need your help in reporting incidents and providing intelligence. When we know the owners, we can, and will, take positive action by working in partnership with housing authorities and seizing bikes where possible.
