Hodge Hill

I’m Inspector Jonathan Beach and I am the Local Policing Manager for the areas of Shard End, Hodge Hill, Washwood Heath and Bordesley Green.

I started my policing career as a special constable whilst studying at university. My first posting as a regular officer was working from Shard End police station and I am delighted to have returned to the area a number of years later.

I’ve worked in various roles as a PC, Sergeant and Inspector, including Response, Neighbourhood, Custody, Birmingham City Centre, Staff Officer to an Assistant Chief Constable and Professional Standards Department.

I am passionate about delivering a service that works for local people and believe that community engagement is fundamental to achieving this.

My neighbourhood teams will be attending regular community meetings and it is there that we will listen and discuss ways in which we can help tackle the issues that affect your community.
