I PCSO Mike Lowther helped save a man's life while out on patrol in .

PCSO Lowther's actions have been described as 'highly commendable' as he safeguarded the man.

His quick-thinking was yet another example the work our neighbourhood policing teams do day in, day out across Greater Manchester.

The Neighbourhood Policing Week of Action will take place from 15 to 21 June. Neighbourhood policing is more than a role – it is a specialism that requires knowledge, skill and strong leadership.

Officers and PCSOs working in neighbourhood teams are often the first point of contact for local people, building trust, preventing crime and dealing with the issues that matter most to the communities they serve, including anti-social behaviour.

We have around 1,400 neighbourhood officers working across 38 teams – they are based in all 10 of our districts.

| Local neighbourhood officers are continuing to tackle criminality across Derker and the surrounding areas with dedicated work alongside the existing Operation Vulcan partnership.

Just over a year ago, Operation Vulcan was launched in the Derker area of Oldham, resulting in more than 250 arrests, thousands of pounds worth of drugs recovered, more than 200 vehicles seized and dozens of deadly weapons taken off the streets.

The ongoing partnership – which consists of local officers, the council, charity groups, volunteers, and more – is seeking to continuing to build on the foundations the problem-solving Vulcan team have lain for the future.

Since January, the neighbourhood team have taken 23 arrests for offences including drug dealing, possession of offensive weapons and shoplifting, securing charges and further orders to punish criminals.
