Your team

Inspector Gareth Lee

I am Gareth Lee, the Inspector for Runcorn, based at Runcorn Police Station. I am responsible for policing all of Runcorn, including Daresbury. Preston Brook and Moore. I have spent over 9 years as an operational police officer working in a variety of uniform and detective roles. I have gained experience from the Public Protection Unit, CID and recently through designing and implementing changes to Cheshire Constabulary to ensure we continue to deliver a high level of service to our communities.

Runcorn has a highly motivated and dedicated team of police officers and police community support officers (PCSOs) who are committed to ensuring the people of Runcorn are safe and feel safe. To this end I will ensure police officers and PCSOs are visible on the streets of Runcorn and that we get to know as many members of the local community as possible. I want the people of Runcorn to know who I am, who their local officers and PCSOs are and how they can contact us.

My aim is to continue to develop strong links with communities and work closely with partner agencies in order to positively impact upon the quality of life within our area. My intention is to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour and to bring offenders to justice. However, policing within your community is not something that can be done by the police alone. We require your help and support to better understand the problems in your area and to influence our policing priorities. You are an integral part in the success of policing at a local level and I would encourage you to tell the police officers and PCSOs about any issues concerning you. You can do this by either speaking to your local officer or attending the community meetings we put in place in your area.
