The Area Commander for the Western area of Cheshire is Chief
Superintendent Craig Guildford.
Areas we cover
The Western Area covers the unitary authority of Cheshire West
and Chester, which has a population of over 300,000 people. We have
six neighbourhood policing teams that cover the area, these
are:
As the geography between these places are so diverse (ranging
from rural areas to industrial areas to the City of Chester), it
poses us as a police force both challenges and opportunities in
terms of the policing styles that we use.
We work closely with local partners in striving to deliver the
very best policing service to all of the residents in this area 24
hours a day, 365 days a year.
As a result of this we are a very successful policing area, and
demonstrates our desire to be there for you when you need the help
and support of the police service.
What are our aims?
Our aims are:
- Responding to calls in an efficient and effective manner
- Improving our customer service.
- Detecting and investigating crime
- Deterring and responding to anti-social behaviour
- Actively targeting prolific offenders within the
communities.
We are you local police force and we aim to work with you in
making Cheshire an even safer place to work and live.
As Area Commander I would like to thank you for that support and
would encourage each and every member of the community to contact
the police with information on crime and anti-social behaviour, no
matter how insignificant you feel it may be.
