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:

    As we progress through 2026, our priority is to continue you you feel safe in the communities where you live and work.

    Over the remainder of the year, we will continue to focus on the following five key themes:

    Reducing burglary - Operation Castle
    Dealing robustly with drug use and supply
    Promoting and enforcing safety on our roads
    Tackling Anti-Social Behaviour
    Tackling violent crime

    The final two priorities

    Anti-Social Behaviour and Violent Crime are particularly relevant following a recent rise in incidents within Wigan Town Centre over recent months.

    These priorities will be refined and expanded with more specific actions following our Partners and Communities Together (PACT) meetings with dates being published soon

  • Priority:

    Wigan Town Centre is home to a thriving night-time economy, attracting residents and visitors to its bars, pubs, restaurants, entertainment venues and events. While this contributes positively to the local economy and community life, it can also lead to increased demand on emergency services and a rise in incidents of violence, anti-social behaviour, alcohol-related disorder, and vulnerability.
    As a result, the Wigan Town Centre Neighbourhood Team will make the night-time economy a key policing priority throughout 2026. Working closely with licensed premises, Wigan Council, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, the Street Pastors, transport providers and other partners, we will focus on preventing crime and disorder, protecting vulnerable people, and ensuring the town centre remains a safe place to enjoy.
    Our activity will include:

    High-visibility patrols during peak evening and weekend periods.
    Targeted action against violence, disorder and anti-social behaviour.
    Working with licensed premises to promote responsible alcohol management.
    Identifying and safeguarding vulnerable individuals.
    Using intelligence and partnership information to address emerging issues and repeat offenders.
    Supporting initiatives that improve the safety of women and girls in the town centre.

    By maintaining a visible presence and working closely with our partners, we aim to reduce crime and disorder, increase public confidence, and ensure Wigan Town Centre remains a safe and welcoming destination for everyone.
