Inspector David Griffiths

I am David Griffiths, the Inspector for Warrington West Area, based at Great Sankey Police Station. I am responsible for the policing of Great Sankey, Whittle Hall, Penketh, Cuerdley, Westbrook, Callands, Bewsey, Dallam, Whitecross, Sankey Bridges, Burtonwood and Winwick. I have spent over 12 years as an operational police officer in the CID and uniform roles, including the Armed Response Vehicle and Public Order Unit.

The Warrington West Neighbourhood Policing Unit is made up highly dedicated police officers, police community support officers and investigation officers, who all work together to prevent and investigate crime and disorder.

We work closely with other agencies to address the problems that affect your quality of life, and it is our responsibility to keep you safe and feel safe.

We can only continue to do this with the help and support of the community of the West of Warrington. We need you to tell us what you think is important to your area, and tell us about those who break the law and commit disorder.

You can do this by ringing us on 0845 458 0000, you can ring us anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, or you can visit the police station on Liverpool Road. We also attend regular community meetings, which you can attend and influence how your street is policed.

If you need our help in an emergency always dial 999.
