He was a response Inspector at Greenheys before taking up this new post and takes over from Inspector Peter Forster who has joined the community and partnership unit.
Inspector Steve Palmer said, "I am committed to making a positive difference to people's lives in Ardwick and Longsight and look forward to working with my police team and partners to make a real impact.
"I believe that everyone has the right to live in a peaceful environment, without the fear of becoming a victim of crime or the nuisance caused by anti-social behaviour.
"Anyone who doesn't respect this right and causes misery to local residents by committing crimes can expect a firm and swift response from my officers.
"We need the cooperation and support of local people and I want to urge anyone in the area who has any information that will help us to fight crime, to get in touch with my team in confidence."
