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 2009 and have a passion for delivering excellent levels of service to our communities, reducing crime and protecting the public.

Between 2009 and 2017 I served the communities across the south of Birmingham, based out of Bournville Police Station. I worked in different environments and spent time as a Response PC, an investigator on CID and as a Neighbourhood Officer in the Kings Norton area.

In 2017 I became a temporary Sergeant on a Response Team based out of Solihull where I spent the next 18 months. I managed a small team and was successful in promotion to Sergeant in April 2018. I then moved on to work as a Response Sergeant based out of Newtown on the west of Birmingham. This was an exciting, fast paced area to work, policing and safeguarding really diverse parts of our community and managing a large and complex team. These were some of my favourite years in the Police.

I stayed at Newtown until August 2021 where I became successful to the rank of Inspector. Upon promotion I moved to a department called the "Force Support Unit". We were dedicated to providing a force wide service to the wider organisation in helping reduce demand, patrol high crime areas and provide that wider support to our colleagues on Response. Furthermore, we policed the Nighttime Economy on a weekend, and I was the senior officer on duty keeping the City Centre safe overnight. I remained on this team until a structural change in April 2023 and moved back to Solihull as a Response Inspector where I remained until September 2025. In 2025 I moved to Response at Stechford covering the eastern part of Birmingham and in July 2026 arrived here at the City Centre.

I work alongside Insp Andy Lavanchy who oversees the inner sector and I have the outer sector. I look forward to working with Andy and already have a strong working relationship with him.

Outside of work I am a proud father of a young daughter and have dedicated 18 years to West Midlands Police and our communities. I look forward to serving the Birmingham City Centre community and it's business'."
