Case Study

“Oldham’s Neighbourhood Policing Team are committed to making our community safer and stronger. Over the next few years, we’ll be focusing on preventing crime and antisocial behaviour by increasing patrols, stepping in early to prevent problems, and engaging more closely with local residents. You’ll see more of us in the town centre, where we’ll be working to keep everyone safe and listening to community concerns.

Preventing youth crime is also a big priority for us. We’re partnering with schools and youth groups to offer activities and education that give young people positive alternatives and help them stay on the right path. By doing this, we hope to reduce crime and build more trust with the community.

We know that working together is key. That’s why we’re teaming up with housing providers, health services, and the council to tackle the root causes of crime, like poverty and social issues. By strengthening these partnerships, we’re aiming to create a safer, more supportive community and make Oldham a better place for everyone.”
