Your local team
Having joined West Midlands Police in 2000, I was initially posted to Birmingham East, working across Neighbourhood Policing, Response, and Priority Crime teams.
Over the course of my career, I have remained dedicated to Local Policing, including roles within CID, Offender Management, and Neighbourhood teams. I firmly believe this is where policing can make the most direct impact - supporting our communities and delivering a service that my teams and I can be proud of.
Returning to Birmingham East in 2025 on promotion genuinely feels like coming home. I'm looking forward to leading the teams across the Yardley Constituency, collaborating with our partners and actively engaging with the community to address local priorities and keep our neighbourhoods safe.
