Officers visit residents to listen to concerns

Police from Rochdale Division will be speaking to residents as part of an ongoing initiative over the coming months.
The drive will see officers and police community support officers (PCSO) patrol streets across the Borough and will give officers the chance to ask residents about their Neighbourhood Policing Teams and to find out if they know who their local policing teams are, how to contact them and what issues are of most concern to them in their area, to help alleviate problems.
Chief Inspector James Troisi, from Rochdale Division, said: “Getting to the residents on a street based level means that as a Division and a Force we are able to get the local views of residents who may not otherwise have had the opportunity to voice their concerns.
“We are hoping that this will help us identify the relevant policing issues that are prevalent in those areas and any community safety concerns, we will look at resolving in partnership with the local authority.
“Following the activity we will then be looking to report back to residents via a newsletter which will give details on the work undertaken.”
Jeanette Staley, acting community safety manager at Rochdale Borough Council, said: “We have promised to follow-up community safety concerns reported to the police which are having a negative impact upon the quality of life for some of our residents. Working alongside the police and other local agencies we will try and alleviate the crime and disorder problems in our communities to create a safer borough for everyone to live, work and do business in.”
