Your community policing team
I am an experienced police officer with over 23 years of service, progressing from frontline policing to senior leadership roles. I have a proven track record in operational command, community engagement, and strategic oversight. Skilled in managing dynamic and critical incidents, leading response teams, and delivering proactive investigations targeting high-harm offenders. As a Locality Inspector, I have successfully built strong partnerships with internal and external stakeholders to address community issues and protect the most vulnerable. I am a Nationally accredited Initial Tactical Firearms Commander (ITFC) and Tactical Firearms Commander (TFC), bringing specialist operational expertise to complex and high-risk situations. Experienced in strategic support through secondments with Chief Superintendents in CSIM and CPC departments, providing insight into organizational priorities and performance. I am Committed to delivering effective policing solutions that balance enforcement, prevention, and safeguarding. I work with very capable dedicated officers and thoroughly enjoy my current role as Halesworth Locality Inspector.
I have been working for Suffolk Constabulary for nearly 13 years. I started my career as a PCSO working within the old Safer Neighbourhood Teams.
I then worked for a number of years as a Constable within front line policing, youth offending and partnership teams.
I was lucky enough to be placed in Halesworth upon my promotion to Sergeant and am thoroughly enjoying the challenge of the new Community Policing Team.
