City Centre

I have been a Police Officer for over 18 years, having transferred to West Midlands Police in 2008 from the Ministry of Defence Police.
I have a passion for proactive policing, and working with the community to reduce offending.

I spent my first 9 years working in Wolverhampton as a PC on Response, before moving onto Roads Policing in 2017.
I gained skills as a Police Advanced Driver and Advanced Motorcyclist, before further developing into the role of Tactical Advisor in relation to Tactical Pursuit and Containment or TPAC.

Having passed the Sergeants Examination, I took temporary promotion and was externally seconded to Police Now, where I trained in Totality, three different cohorts of new recruits, from both the Neighbourhood and Detective entry programmes. It was whilst working here that I became accredited as a PIP2 Detective.

Once I returned to force, I was substantively promoted to Sergeant, and posted back to Response in the East of Birmingham for a few years, and then moved into the role of Response Inspector in the West and Central parts of Birmingham, before moving across to the City Centre District in 2026.

I thrive in high pressure, critical thinking environments, allowing me to use my knowledge and skills to work with my officers and our partners to deliver policing excellence. I am delighted to be able to work with community members and partners to achieve this and to attend to the needs of the residents and visitors of Birmingham.

I am dedicated to the safety of the people of our city, and serve as one of West Midlands Police, Police Support Unit Commanders. I use my knowledge and expertise to deliver effective policing across the city and wider West Midlands Police area.

Outside of work I am a proud father to a five year old boy, the fact he is a German Shepherd in my view is immaterial. I live with my fiancé and we are currently planning our wedding in Italy.

I joined West Midlands Police in 2002 and have dedicated my career to working closely with the community and partners to reduce crime, protect the public, and bring offenders to justice.

During my first ten years in policing, I served as a PC across various Response, Neighbourhood, and proactive crime teams in East Birmingham. In 2013, I became a Sergeant in Sparkbrook, where I have fond memories of working with the community to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour. I take great pride in knowing I gave my all, supported by a strong team, to collaborate with local partners and achieve shared goals.

Between 2016 and 2019, I served as a Response Sergeant in both East and West Birmingham, leading teams to ensure we responded to calls for service as efficiently and effectively as possible.

In 2019, I was promoted to Police Inspector, working in Sandwell and Dudley before returning to Birmingham in late 2020 as a Response Inspector, covering West Birmingham.

In January 2025, I took on my current role in Birmingham City Centre. I am eager to engage with community members and partners to ensure my team and I provide the highest level of service, aligned with the needs of local residents and businesses.

I work alongside Inspector Dan Thomas, who oversees the Outer Sector (Westside, Southside, and Eastside), while I am primarily responsible for the Inner Sector (Central). Having previously worked together, I am confident we will continue to collaborate effectively to ensure our officers deliver the best possible service across all of Birmingham City Centre.

As a proud family man, father of three and grandad and a dedicated member of West Midlands Police for 23 years, I look forward to serving the Birmingham City Centre community and its businesses.
