I will be carrying out bike marking on Monday 24th August at 11:00hrs at Helsby Library and at 13:00hrs at Kingsley Community Centre. I am aware this is on a weekday where a number of people work so the next event I set up will be on a weekend very soon.

Many thanks

From 6^th July 2015, Cheshire Police have undergone a significant change, moving from 3 Basic Command Units (West Cheshire, East Cheshire, North Cheshire) to 8 Local Policing Units (Chester, Ellesmere Port, Warrington, Widnes, Runcorn, Macclesfield, Crewe, Northwich).

The new Chester Rural beat team work as part of the Chester Local Policing Unit, which is managed by Chief Inspector Paul Williams, Inspector Paul Loughlin and Inspector Brian Green. My team are dedicated to serving the residents of rural Chester and will be happy to engage with our communities, partnerships and town/parish councils to provide the best possible service.   

To fall in line with Council Wards, boundaries have now changed, meaning there are now 10 beat areas covered by Chester Rural. 

For those that are technically minded, the new beat areas and boundaries can be found by copying the link below, selecting map data, council and democracy and selecting wards:

For those that prefer straight talking, here is a list of the beats and the officers dedicated:
