Your community policing team
I joined Suffolk constabulary in 1997 and spent several years as a response officer in Ipswich before joining the armed response team covering the entire county. I then became a sergeant in 2009 returning to response policing in Ipswich before being posted to custody in Martlesham.
I eventually escaped custody returning to response in Ipswich then later East Ipswich, Woodbridge and Felixstowe.
The town of Felixstowe is a great place to work. I have been part of the community policing team here for the last 3 years. We are all passionate about the town and committed to making it a safe place to live, work and visit.
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.
I began my policing career with Suffolk Constabulary in 2021 after completing my university studies and gaining valuable experience in the private sector.
I initially served as a Response Officer in Ipswich, later moving to Felixstowe, before progressing into my current role as a Community Officer.
I am dedicated to fostering strong community relationships and working collaboratively to maintain a safe, positive environment for all.
My approach focuses on proactive engagement and building trust to deliver the best possible outcomes for residents and local businesses.
