I am Inspector John Crapper and I lead the Rotherham Central Neighbourhood Team.

This covers the areas of Keppel, Rotherham West, Boston Castle and Rotherham East. We will be working towards the force’s three priorities of tackling crime and anti-social behaviour; protecting vulnerable people; treating people fairly. We will apply these objectives to the concerns of the residents in Rotherham. We will also work closely with Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council to work towards these aims.

Economic prosperity is key to improving the lives of the people who live in Rotherham and so we will seek to support the businesses in our area of Rotherham. We will also do our best to ensure that people are able to enjoy a good quality of life where they live.
