Your local team
I joined West Midlands Police in 2007 and have since worked across various policing areas, including Response, Neighbourhood, Operations, and the Commonwealth Games project in 2022.
I’m a firm believer that ‘the police are the public, and the public are the police,’ and that only by working together can we make a positive difference in our community.
In January 2024, I began serving the Yardley constituency, which includes Acocks Green, Sheldon, Stechford & Yardley North, and South Yardley. I lead a team of enthusiastic and dedicated officers committed to making a positive impact on local residents, businesses, and the community as a whole.
