Sheffield South West

Welcome message from the Neighbourhood Inspector Laurie Millington

My name is Laurie Millington and I’m currently the Temporary Inspector for the fantastic Sheffield South West Neighbourhood Team. We cover a brilliant and very diverse part of the city and I’m am very excited about building relationships and tackling issues right across our patch.

Over my time with the force I have worked in both frontline response policing and Neighbourhoods, and was previously local policing Sergeant for Gleadless and have grown up in the local area, so I am very aware of the current issues. I have worked extensively with partner agencies and the voluntary sector during my time with South Yorkshire Police which is vital if we are to develop strong and safe communities.

So you know if you’re in the right place, we cover Dore, Totley, Nether Edge, Sharrow, Ecclesall, Gleadles Valley, Lowedges, Jordanthorpe, Beauchief, Greenhill and Graves Park.

I’m very lucky to have two great sergeants on the team, as well as a really proactive group of officers and PCSOs who are fully embedded in their communities.

We work in partnership with our Sheffield City Council colleagues. We also have a Safer Neighbourhood Co-Ordinator working alongside the teams and embedded within our processes.

Please do contact us with any concerns, details about local community projects or groups, or simply to say hello. I'm really pleased to be back policing an area I know so well.
