New car for Rochdale North neighbourhood policing team

Rochdale North Neighbourhood Policing Team now has a new car thanks to support from a local housing association.

Rochdale Borough Housing has sponsored the Vauxhall Astra police car.

The vehicle, which will display both company and police logos, has already been used by officers in the community.

The car will only be used for Neighbourhood Policing rather than responding to incidents.
Sergeant Brendan Walsh of the Rochdale North Neighbourhood Policing Team said: “This new car will be a real asset to the team as it will help us to cover the area more effectively and increase our visibility. This will hopefully deter criminals and reassure residents in the town, and I would like to thank Rochdale Borough Housing for their ongoing support.”
