Your community policing team
I joined Suffolk Constabulary as a police officer in 2018. At the start of my career, I worked predominantly within frontline policing and moved onto a team tackling child exploitation. Following this, I was promoted and joined the Community Policing Team at the end of 2024.
I am passionate about leading the team, problem solving, developing new initiatives and tactics to address local policing issues, promoting public safety and preventing crime.
I feel extremely privileged to work so closely with partners and the community to making Suffolk a safe place to live, work and visit.
I joined Suffolk Constabulary in 2002, working in the control room for four years, before becoming a PCSO working in the East Suffolk area, a role I enjoyed for three years. I became a Police officer in 2009, working in Lowestoft and Halesworth area on response, covering the towns and rural areas of East Suffolk for 6 years. For the next few years I worked in office based roles including custody, interviewing and preparing case work. In January 2025 I was offered the post of CPT officer covering the Deben and Orford Peninsular. Having lived in the area for many years I feel very fortunate to work in such a beautiful rural location working with the people of Suffolk to make it a safe and happy place to live.
I have worked for Suffolk Constabulary since 2003 and became a PCSO after 4 years working in the control room.
I have covered most of the Ipswich area within my time but have covered East Ipswich since 2016.
I joined Suffolk Constabulary in 2022 starting as the match funded pcso covering Woodbridge Kesgrave and Rushmere. I now work on the community policing team covering Felixstowe and the surrounding area. I enjoy patrolling in the community and facing new challenges.
