A crime-smashing neighbourhood policing operation is underway in Brinnington as local teams work to disrupt illegal activity, arrest criminals, and take action where the public wants.
Launched on November 10, the operation is utilising resources from across the force to ensure a broad range of crime is tackled – from drug-dealing to anti-social behaviour and driving offences.
The work come as part of our commitment to delivering a first-rate neighbourhood policing service to the people of Greater Manchester.
Since Chief Constable Sir Stephen Watson took the helm of GMP in May 2021, there have been 500 fewer burglary victims each month, a quarter-reduction in vehicle crime, and a doubling of arrests to more than 70,000 a year.
Every area of GM has neighbourhood tasking teams to proactively tackle crime, neighbourhood crime teams to bring offenders to justice, neighbourhood policing teams to patrol our streets and ensure community safety, and a prevention hub to solve problems and reduce crime.
Anyone encountering an issue within their area can expect neighbourhood police officers to take action – whether that’s acting on their intelligence to knock through doors or proactively patrol known hotspots.
Any immediate emergency will likewise be rapidly dealt with: our call handlers pick up on average after just four seconds.
In the two weeks since our work began in Brinnington, we have already secured fifteen arrests for offences including possession with intent to supply, failing to appear at court, dangerous driving, and weapons offences.
Approximately £17,000 in suspected illicit cash has been seized, two kilograms of heroin with a street value of around £200,000, and twelve bladed articles.
Thousands of pounds worth of cannabis has been taken off the streets, in addition to twelve vehicles, including two e-bikes.
The operation, which runs until the end of the month, has seen specialist teams from across GMP take part. From our traffic units to monitor the illegal and unsafe driving to our drone unit being used to track and trace off-road bikes.
Our knife crime teams have also deployed for patrols along hotspot areas and transport hubs, while Operation Vulcan has lent its problem-solving expertise to enhance our crime-tackling output.
While the work has been numerous in nature and exhaustive in planning, much of the action has been taken directly on the back of the feedback of Brinnington’s residents.
Some months ago, we undertook a survey within the community, asking people what more they wanted and where they wanted action to be taken. This operation has done exactly that.
Intelligence and engagement drives our work and is the beating heart of neighbourhood policing: all tip-offs will be acted upon and all aids in our policing.
Chief Inspector Clare Ryle, from GMP’s Stockport Neighbourhood Team, said: “The work in Brinnington is the definition of what neighbourhood work looks like. Acting decisively on what communities want to disrupt criminality, gather intelligence, and punish those who break the law.
“While the intensification runs until the end of the month, it is by no means an end to the action. The work has seen multiple arrests, kilos of dangerous drugs seized, and deadly weapons taken off the streets.
“By gathering intelligence through this action, we can continue to put officers and resources where needed and ultimately provide the best policing service for the people of Brinnington.
“Additionally, working closely with partners to ensure long-term sustainable solutions can help provide strong foundations for Brinnington for years to come.”
Cllr Dan Oliver, Cabinet Member for Public Protection at Stockport Council, said: "We are committed to making our communities safer alongside Greater Manchester Police.
"Our neighbourhood officers work tirelessly across Brinnington,
engaging with residents, tackling crime and anti-social behaviour, and providing support.
'The action taken so far shows the real difference proactive policing and enforcement make in our communities.
“We know how much people value safe, welcoming neighbourhoods and feeling proud of where they live. The strength of community spirit in Brinnington cannot be understated and by bringing services together and working closely with local people, we are responding to issues more effectively and helping our communities to thrive.
“I would encourage all residents to share their concerns and work with local officers, to make Brinnington a safer neighbourhood for everyone.”

It is not about being reactive or proactive in life; it is not about accepting or rejecting the set of events in life; it is not about crossing your arms and doing nothing, or going out for the fight, trying to do something. It is, simply, to fly over all this, to be above it, to go beyond that. ~Marcos Gualberto ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "A Liberdade que você tem é de sobrevoar isso, é de estar acima disso, não se confundindo com aparições, que são apenas manifestações da Vida." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Não se trata de ser reativo ou proativo na vida; não se trata de aceitar ou de rejeitar o jogo dos acontecimentos na vida; não se trata de cruzar os braços e não fazer nada, ou sair para a luta, tentando fazer alguma coisa.

Neighbourhood Policing officers carry out a warrant in Woodley, Stockport.
This week is Neighbourhood Policing Week of Action 2026, in which forces across the country are taking part in proactive action across their local communities.
Every single day, officers across Greater Manchester’s neighbourhood teams work to tackle issues that people want us to – from anti-social e-bikes to drug-dealing, shoplifting, and more.
In the last year, neighbourhood crime has been reduced by 15% across Greater Manchester – including in each borough – with significant reductions in Stockport (33%), Bury (30%), and Wigan (28%).
In the five years since Sir Stephen Watson joined GMP as Chief Constable, we have seen 600 fewer burglary victims each month, vehicle crime reduced by a quarter, and – across the force – a doubling of arrests, with 72,509 in the year up to April 2026.
Our proactive neighbourhood work contributes greatly to this overall figure, which sees dozens of warrants executed across the force each month, hotspot patrolling, problem-solving action, and more.
This week will see a spotlight on all manner of neighbourhood policing work. While securing arrests and investigating criminality will always take place where necessary, engagement work within communities is equally as vital to improving public confidence and tackling the root causes of crime.
This can take the form of community drop-in sessions such as our Police and Community Together (PACT) meetings, school visits, open days, business visits, charity partnership work, and more.
Throughout the course of the week, you can expect to see an increased police presence, who will all be more than willing to discuss any issues that you have.
Assistant Chief Constable Matt Boyle, GMP's lead for Local Policing, said: “Neighbourhood policing is a core component of our output across Greater Manchester. These are the officers who know their communities best, know the issues that face people, and are best-placed to tackle those problems in the most efficient way.
“As a force priority, we have delivered on ensuring each area has a named officer, while also securing an uplift of neighbourhood roles across our city-region. Plenty more will be completed in the coming months as we continue to invest in neighbourhood policing and preventative measures.
“This week shines a light on the fantastic work that they do – from the dedication and determination of problem-solving teams to acts of individual brilliance by officers in the thick of it.
“While this is just one-week, this is by no means a one-off. It is something that officers do day-in, day-out, not just here in Greater Manchester, but across the entirety of the UK.”

On Thursday 14th August, Chief Superintendent Helen Critchley, district commander for Bolton, and the south neighbourhood team led a proactive day of action in Bolton town centre as part of the force’s ongoing Safe4Summer campaign.
The day had two areas of focus: road safety and community engagement.
In response to ongoing concerns about road traffic incidents in Bolton, officers conducted an hour-long traffic operation at the interchange of Thynne Street and Trinity Street, targeting unsafe driving behaviours such as mobile phone use and failure to wear seatbelts, as well as looking out for dangerous vehicle faults.
During the operation, officers stopped 13 drivers, 11 of which resulted in traffic offences.
This is part of a concerted effort to address road traffic incidents in the district of Bolton which been a historic hot spot for road traffic incidents. However, in 2024, the district recorded its lowest number of road fatalities since 2019, with just six deaths, thanks to initiatives such Operation Classify.
The second part of the day saw officers walking through the town centre and into Bolton Market, speaking with residents and business owners about the issues that matter most to them, such as anti-social behaviour and retail crime.
The operation in Bolton is one of many taking place across Greater Manchester this summer as part of the force’s Safe4Summer campaign, aiming to reduce crime and increase police visibility.
Chief Superintendent Helen Critchley, district commander for Bolton, said: “This is about making sure everyone who visits Bolton can have a safe and enjoyable time.
“We know Bolton has had issues with road traffic incidents, which is why we were out today dealing with those who commit offences and preventing more harm being done.
“As well as enforcing the law around speeding, mobile phone use, and wearing a seatbelt, today’s operation was also
about education and prevention.
“The team and I were also out engaging with the community to hear and address their concerns, prevent future crime, and ensure people can enjoy the great town of Bolton.
“Residents around Greater Manchester should expect to see a higher visibility of staff in our towns as part of our Safe4Summer campaign. We’re there to listen and ensure people enjoy their time while remain safe.”
Four men suspected of dealing drugs are in custody after a series of warrants across Stockport this morning (22/5/25).
The co-ordinated strikes by our County Lines and Challenger teams took place at just after 5am in Brinnington.
Around 40 officers were deployed for the proactive action at addresses in Brinnington, Stockport.
The four men – aged 64, 52, 28 and 21 – were arrested on suspicion of drug dealing and remain in custody for questioning.
During the raids, officers recovered cash and drugs, as well as equipment that can be used in the making of drugs – everything recovered is being forensically analysed.
Detective Constable Richard Bennett said: “Today’s action will have a considerable impact on drug supply and associated crime across the area.
“County lines drug gangs pose a significant threat, especially young people and the vulnerable, and bring misery to our communities.
“We rely on information from the public to be our eyes and ears on the streets - help us to rid your communities of drugs and related crime by reporting information about drug dealing and other issues.
“You can also report information and crimes on our website (www.gmp.police.uk) using the 'report' tool. Alternatively, you can report information anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Always call 999 in an emergency.”
County lines is the use of dedicated phone lines to deal drugs from one location to another, often across county borders, that is likely to exploit children and vulnerable adults.
Programme Challenger is our multi-agency approach to tackling organised crime in Greater Manchester, with police and partners dedicated to pursuing criminals and protecting victims.
Since Sept 2022 to end of March 2025, our County Lines operation has:
Issued 155 warrants
Made 390 arrests
Seen 322 drug dealers charged
Seized 106 kg of drugs
Closed 413 drug lines closed
Secured around 850 years’ of jail time.
You should call 101, the national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.

A Tameside policing operation has cracked down on ASB with proactive patrols tackling everything from drug use to problematic street drinking.
A proactive policing operation was launched in June, with funding providing extra patrols across Ashton-under-Lyne and surrounding areas identified as having repeat offences, including local transport hubs and shopping spots.
Officers target these areas at peak times and further undertake disruption visits to pre-emptively stop incidents.
The operation has seen a crackdown and multiple actions and positive outcomes. July, August, and September saw a range of results in Ashton town centre, including 12 arrests, 28 stop-searches, 33 public space protection order warnings issued, and 30 logs responded to.
As an example of the reduction in quarter three of this year, August reported 30 incidents of ASB, while September recorded 10 – showing the positive effects of the ongoing work.
The operation has meant more patrols have been targeting the issues that the public care about and ensuring that criminals and anti-social behaviour are stopped in their tracks.
Tameside work.
As part of anti-social behaviour week, on Wednesday, neighbourhood officers in Ashton town centre secured two arrests on suspicion of possession of a Class B drug, which resulted in street cautions.
Further cautions were issued for someone smoking cannabis in public, while other people were provided with words of advice.
Sergeant Rob Froggatt, from GMP’s Tameside district, said: “People want to see officers out and about in the community, engaging with the public, and locking up those who disrupt their lives. Our operation is delivering exactly that.
“We know and appreciate just how much anti-social behaviour can disrupt people’s lives – whether it’s people taking drugs in public or intimidating people in town centres – and our work is designed to crack down on exactly those sort of offences.
“In addition to our own work, we liaise closely with partners in the community, including local charities and services, to ensure we stop ASB from progressing into more serious offences. Likewise, by conducting preventative engagement work, we can stop the offences from ever happening.
“If you are having issues with ASB, I would urge you to get in touch with your local team, who will be best-placed to offer advice and support on the issues you are having.”

In South Manchester, GMP’s dedicated neighbourhood officers are using their instinct and intuition to fight crime.
In-between their community work and reassurance patrols, speaking to concerned residents and shops, they recently actively gathered information and intel to conduct a warrant just as the festive period came into fruition.
Under the cover of darkness, a cold and wet December morning saw a team of five officers leave the Didsbury headquarters and make the short journey over to Whalley Range to arrest a man after intel suggested he was growing cannabis at his rented premises in a quiet residential estate.
The result was positive and further investigation uncovered attempts to grow drugs in the garage. The electric was later cut off due to concerns over the hap-hazard attempt to divert it.

A Tameside policing operation has cracked down on ASB with proactive patrols tackling everything from drug use to problematic street drinking.
A proactive policing operation was launched in June, with funding providing extra patrols across Ashton-under-Lyne and surrounding areas identified as having repeat offences, including local transport hubs and shopping spots.
Officers target these areas at peak times and further undertake disruption visits to pre-emptively stop incidents.
The operation has seen a crackdown and multiple actions and positive outcomes. July, August, and September saw a range of results in Ashton town centre, including 12 arrests, 28 stop-searches, 33 public space protection order warnings issued, and 30 logs responded to.
As an example of the reduction in quarter three of this year, August reported 30 incidents of ASB, while September recorded 10 – showing the positive effects of the ongoing work.
The operation has meant more patrols have been targeting the issues that the public care about and ensuring that criminals and anti-social behaviour are stopped in their tracks.
Tameside work.
As part of anti-social behaviour week, on Wednesday, neighbourhood officers in Ashton town centre secured two arrests on suspicion of possession of a Class B drug, which resulted in street cautions.
Further cautions were issued for someone smoking cannabis in public, while other people were provided with words of advice.
Sergeant Rob Froggatt, from GMP’s Tameside district, said: “People want to see officers out and about in the community, engaging with the public, and locking up those who disrupt their lives. Our operation is delivering exactly that.
“We know and appreciate just how much anti-social behaviour can disrupt people’s lives – whether it’s people taking drugs in public or intimidating people in town centres – and our work is designed to crack down on exactly those sort of offences.
“In addition to our own work, we liaise closely with partners in the community, including local charities and services, to ensure we stop ASB from progressing into more serious offences. Likewise, by conducting preventative engagement work, we can stop the offences from ever happening.
“If you are having issues with ASB, I would urge you to get in touch with your local team, who will be best-placed to offer advice and support on the issues you are having.”

On Thursday 14th August, Chief Superintendent Helen Critchley, district commander for Bolton, and the south neighbourhood team led a proactive day of action in Bolton town centre as part of the force’s ongoing Safe4Summer campaign.
The day had two areas of focus: road safety and community engagement.
In response to ongoing concerns about road traffic incidents in Bolton, officers conducted an hour-long traffic operation at the interchange of Thynne Street and Trinity Street, targeting unsafe driving behaviours such as mobile phone use and failure to wear seatbelts, as well as looking out for dangerous vehicle faults.
During the operation, officers stopped 13 drivers, 11 of which resulted in traffic offences.
This is part of a concerted effort to address road traffic incidents in the district of Bolton which been a historic hot spot for road traffic incidents. However, in 2024, the district recorded its lowest number of road fatalities since 2019, with just six deaths, thanks to initiatives such Operation Classify.
The second part of the day saw officers walking through the town centre and into Bolton Market, speaking with residents and business owners about the issues that matter most to them, such as anti-social behaviour and retail crime.
The operation in Bolton is one of many taking place across Greater Manchester this summer as part of the force’s Safe4Summer campaign, aiming to reduce crime and increase police visibility.
Chief Superintendent Helen Critchley, district commander for Bolton, said: “This is about making sure everyone who visits Bolton can have a safe and enjoyable time.
“We know Bolton has had issues with road traffic incidents, which is why we were out today dealing with those who commit offences and preventing more harm being done.
“As well as enforcing the law around speeding, mobile phone use, and wearing a seatbelt, today’s operation was also
