Inspector Ian Thorp

I am Ian Thorp, the Neighbourhood Inspector for the Chester Inner area. I am responsible for policing in Chester City Centre, Boughton, Newtown, the College Ward and Sealand Road.

I have been in the police for 24 years and my duties 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.

I have been working for the past six months at HQ representing the Western Area regarding improving Community confidence. For the two years prior to this I was the Neighbourhood Police Inspector for Chester Outer area.

My priorities for the policing of this area are:

1. To ensure that the public have confidence in the service we deliver.
2. To ensure that we provide the best possible levels of visibility of police and community support officer patrols in the area.
3. 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.
4. 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.
