About us

About us

Local policing teams are groups of officers dedicated to serving the community. Teams are made up of officers based in the area, supported by additional officers from the wider area. 

Teams work closely with local authorities, organisations, partners and residents to decide policing priorities. This helps teams find long-term solutions to local problems.

Policing priorities

  • Priority:

    Action taken:

  • Priority:

    Speeding & driving offences

    Issued 24 April 2026

    Action taken:

    Neighbourhood Officers to carry out enforcement by deploying with mobile speed camera.

    During January 2026, officers from the Neighbourhood Team carried out a traffic operation outside St Michael’s Primary School. Traffic Offence Reports were issued for mobile phone use, and Vehicle Defect Notices were also served where appropriate. Officers deployed a speed gun throughout the operation; no motorists were recorded exceeding the enforceable speed limit.

    Actioned 24 April 2026

  • Priority:

    Retail crime

    Issued 24 April 2026

    Action taken:

    We investigate all reports of retail crime where viable lines of enquiry exist. Our Neighbourhood Team proactively targets repeat offenders and affected locations, ensuring a focused and consistent response. Where appropriate, we also request Criminal Behaviour Orders (CBOs) against persistent offenders through the courts and share updates on these outcomes through our social media channels and Bee In The Loop.

    We currently have seven repeat perpetrators responsible for multiple incidents of retail crime across Atherton, Tyldesley, and Astley Mosley Common. Through successful prosecutions, we have secured CBOs for all seven individuals, including two obtained since the start of this year

    Actioned 24 April 2026

  • Priority:

    Vehicle Crime

    Issued 24 April 2026

    Action taken:

    Vehicle crime includes theft from motor vehicles, theft of motor vehicles, vehicle interference, and criminal damage. We investigate all reports where viable lines of enquiry exist, carrying out house to house checks, reviewing CCTV, and requesting Crime Scene Investigators where forensic opportunities are identified.

    When we see a series or spike in offences, we work closely with the Wigan Neighbourhood Tasking Team to coordinate proactive deployments—both covert and overt—at key times. Specialist resources such as Traffic, Dog Units, and Air Support are requested where appropriate to support these operations.

    We will continue to share successful outcomes and prosecutions through our social media channels and Bee In The Loop to keep our communities informed.

    Following an investigation by the Neighbourhood Team a male adult from Tyldesley has been charged and remanded for theft from motor vehicle that occurred in December. This male is one of target nominals and was already on bail for theft-shoplifting and breach of a criminal behaviour order. He appeared at court in February and is now serving a custodial sentence.
