Inspector Ian Thorp

Ian ThorpI am Ian Thorp, and I have been the Neighbourhood Inspector for the Chester Inner area for the past 2 years and before that in charge of Chester Outer area. I am responsible for all aspects of policing in Chester City Centre, Boughton, Newtown, the Garden Quarter, University and Sealand Road shopping and industrial areas.

I have been in the police for 26 years and I am really proud to be back where I started on the beat all that time ago. My duties through the rest of my service have mainly been within the Chester and Ellesmere Port areas. I have carried out a wide range of roles including CID , Intelligence and Incident Management and numerous front line uniform positions.

My priorities for the policing of this area are:

  1. To ensure that the public have confidence in the service we deliver.
  2. To concentrate our efforts on solving long term issues that cause excessive demands on public services and have greatest impact on the community.
  3. To ensure that we provide the best possible levels of visibility of police and community support officer patrols in the area.
  4. To listen to, and work with, residents and the business community to address the issues they identify as important and to improve their quality of life. 
  5. To work closely with partners and our communities to ensure a genuine multi agency approach to the delivery of long term improvements for the communities we serve

About

Chester Inner Neighbourhood Policing Team provides local policing services for the historic Roman City of Chester. The city area is sub-divided into the five geographic areas of Chester city centre, Boughton, College Ward, Newtown and the Greyhound Industrial Parks. It is an extremely diverse area that includes the prestigious world heritage status city centre, along with three very separate and differing residential areas, and an ever- increasing spread of industrial and retail premises on the out of town retail parks.
