Police
There are 18 Neighbourhood Policing Units (NPU) within Cheshire Constabulary, each NPU having its own Community Action Teams and investigation team. Kelsall lies in the Western Rural NPU, which brings together the rural parts of Chester and Vale Royal. Inspector Phil Hodgson headed the Western Rural NPU for 6½ years before moving on in September 2011 to take a new role as the Partnerships Inspector working with Cheshire West and Chester Council. Inspector Keith Curbishley took over Phil's role on 10th October 2011, and is intending to continue to produce weekly News Bulletins. These provide a useful synopsis of police activities in this part of Cheshire, and can be accessed via the links in the following table.
