The Police and Crime Commissioner joined neighbourhood officers in Burnley alongside the local MP to discuss policing concerns in the town centre and across the Constituency. Commissioner Clive Grunshaw joined Oliver Ryan MP and members of the Burnley policing team discussing some of the key issues being raised, from anti-social behaviour and retail crime in the town centre, to drug dealing and serious violence. The Commissioner also discussed how his Police and Crime Plan will focus on making Lancashire safer, whilst on the beat in the centre of Burnley, emphasising his ongoing commitment to enhancing neighbourhood policing, aiming to reduce crime and improve public trust.
Speaking after the visit, Clive Grunshaw, Police and Crime Commissioner said: “A key part of my role working across the whole of Lancashire to protect the public, is working with stakeholders like local Members of Parliament to discuss local issues and how we can work together to make the county safer. “It was great to go out in Burnley town centre with Oliver and local officers to discuss the challenges and concerns that people have, alongside the proactive policing that is making a real difference, whether tackling anti-social behaviour through Op Centurion, or stopping retail crime such as shoplifting and harassment of shopworkers through Op Vulture. “There is always more to be done and we discussed ways we can work together across different stakeholders to make the whole of the Burnley constituency safer, alongside the rest of our county. “As Lancashire’s Police and Crime Commissioner, I will continue to work closely with the Chief Constable, delivering on my Police and Crime Plan and the people’s priorities, delivering the most efficient police force we can through strong leadership and tough scrutiny.” Oliver Ryan MP said: “Keeping Burnley, Padiham, and Brierfield safe is vital for our community to thrive. Joining Commissioner Clive Grunshaw and local officers, I saw firsthand the efforts to tackle anti-social behaviour, retail crime, and serious violence. While initiatives like Operation Centurion are making progress, there’s no room for complacency. I’ll continue pushing for stronger collaboration to protect our towns and rebuild public trust.”
