Inspector Ian Whiley

I am Ian Whiley the neighbourhood inspector for Widnes. I joined Cheshire Police in 1997 and have worked in a variety of roles throughout my career, all of which have been in front line policing. Prior to taking on this role I have spent the last two years as a response Inspector covering Warrington, Widnes and Runcorn and am now delighted to be working in such a challenging role. I am looking forward to continuing to develop strong links with the community and partner agencies in order to make a positive impact within the area.

My priorities for Widnes are to reduce crime, anti-social behaviour and deal effectively with night time economy issues. My aim is for the majority of the community to know who I am, who their local officers are and how to contact us. The communities play such an important role in neighbourhood policing, by providing the police with information and effecting police 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 issues concerning you. You can do this by either speaking to your local officer or attending the meetings we put in place in your area.

I will ensure all the police officers and police community support officers are aware that a high profile police presence is important. They will make a point of being seen and getting to know as many people in the local community as possible. They know that as well as keeping people safe they need to make sure people feel safe.

If anyone wishes to speak with me about issues that affect you in the Widnes area then please give me a call on 01606 61 3731.
