Inspector Jez Taylor

Inspector Jez Taylor

I am Jez Taylor, the Neighbourhood Inspector for the Macclesfield area. I am responsible for policing in the town of Macclesfield and the surrounding wards of Bollington and Rainow, Disley, Poynton, Prestbury, Gawsworth, Henbury and Sutton.

The Macclesfield team consists of Police Officers, Police Community Support Officers and Special Constables working under the supervision of a number of Sergeants and myself as the Inspector. The officers are responsible for undertaking high visibility patrols across the area and to work closely with the public and partner agencies ensuring they focus on those issues that affect the quality of life of local residents. The team is responsible for tackling the high volume, non emergency crime such as criminal damage, assault and theft and responding to those calls for service from the public. This could be a ‘999’ call for emergency assistance or calls to the non–emergency number. The overall aim of the team is not only to solve crime and anti-social behaviour, but to prevent it from happening in the first place.

We are fully intent on continuing the good work and success that has already been achieved in the area and I want to urge local residents, local businesses and visitors to the area to work in partnership with both me and my team as we strive to provide a visible and accessible local policing service.

How local priorities are agreed in Macclesfield

The Macclesfield Neighbourhood Policing Unit consists of Seven Neighbourhood Policing Teams.

Every month your team holds several open meetings or surgeries in your area which are advertised in several ways including on our website, locally in shops, on Parish Notice Boards.

During these meetings members of the community are invited to raise local issues with the members of your team present, on occasions local councillors attend meetings and can answer questions relating to council matters e.g. emptying of litter bins. In addition, other issues that can be resolved are taken on board and either dealt with by the local officer or passed onto partner agencies if not a policing issue; for example, a highways issue (e.g. Yellow Lines need replacing) that can be passed to Cheshire East Council.

The local priorities for the month are decided upon by your local team, in consultation with Sergeant Mick Warren who carries out a review of all information held on the Police Systems relating to your area. In addition, information received in other formats, such as communication to our Neighbourhood Policing Team email mailbox or talking to one of your team members on foot patrols is also taken into consideration before the priorities are decided on.

The priorities for the coming month are then listed on the Cheshire Police Web site. We also give an update of what we did to address the previous priorities. Your local officers also provide posters and feedback sheets about priorities which are placed on Parish Notice Boards, Shops etc. or handed out to residents during our reassurance patrols, in areas affected by the local priority, in order to communicate this information.

If you require additional information, please contact us and we can discuss the matter further with you.
