Your team

Inspector Keith Curbishley

I have been a Police Officer with Cheshire Constabulary for almost 24 years now and worked in a variety of roles. Initially this was in Warrington, Widnes and Runcorn and included a period of traffic officer duties. On promotion to Sergeant I was posted to Northwich and had periods of responsibility in the local control room and supervision of front line officers and incidents. This was followed by a posting to Headquarters where I was part of a team responsible for the procurement and development of the Force Custody Suites. I was promoted to Inspector almost six years ago the last few years of which I have been based in the Western Area covering Northwich, Winsford, Frodsham, Chester and Ellesmere Port.

I am very pleased to have been given the responsibility of heading up the Western Rural Neighbourhood Policing Team. I have been impressed by all the good work that has been carried out by Phil and his team and will continue to build upon the strong community and partnership links that have been established.

I look forward to working with you over the coming months and providing a policing service that meets the needs of all local communities.

In anticipation I would like to thank you for your continuing support which is invaluable as my staff strive to deal with incidents of reported crime or anti social behaviour to ensure all your neighbourhoods remain a safe place for you to live and work.
