Your local team
I have been working for the police for 17 years, working across a wide range of policing roles including offender management, gangs, CID, operational policing, project management and, most recently, frontline response policing.
As the Inspector for the area, I am committed to delivering a proactive, visible policing service that keeps our communities safe. I believe in working closely with residents, partners and local organisations to understand the issues that matter most and to tackle them together.
My focus is on preventing crime, protecting vulnerable people and building trust through open communication and positive engagement. I am passionate about supporting our officers and staff to deliver the highest standards of policing, ensuring we listen to our communities and respond with professionalism, fairness and compassion.
I look forward to working with everyone across our communities to make the area an even safer place to live, work and visit.

Priority:
Retail crime and shoplifting offences continue to be a focus of ours across the Binley & Willenhall area. Remembrance Road, Quorn Way in Binley & The Airport Retail Park in Willenhall are all home to repeat targets and continue to be affected by criminality.
Action taken:
We continue to issue Community Protection Notices and Community Protection Warnings to those that are identified as being involved in shop thefts, and recently we have secured the arrests and charges of a number of prolific shoplifting offenders. Retail area patrols are incorporated into our daily patrols, and we regularly stop to engage with employees of stores in the affected areas.

Priority:
In Earlsdon we continue to try and address speeding, anti-social driving and inconsiderate parking, issues which continue to be flagged to us. In particular, speeding at the top of Earlsdon Street and Beechwood Avenue remains prominent. We also continue to move-on inconsiderately parked taxis in the evenings while patrolling, and delivery vehicles where and when reported to us.
Action taken:
In response to the issue of speeding, we deploy marked police vehicles and blue-light trained drivers to patrol the area on a regular basis. We have also requested Hand Held Laser Speed device training courses for Officers new to the team so that they can carry out Speed Watch operations. We are increasing our pro-active patrols and visibility in the area to reflect our approach to tackling these issues.

Priority:
The focus we are tackling in Cheylesmore at the moment is vehicle crime, including the theft of personal items from vehicles, interference with motor vehicles, damage to vehicles and the attempted and complete theft of vehicles. In particular, Scimitar Way, Cecily Road and Warwick Road have all been affected recently.
Action taken:
We have increased our patrols across the Cheylesmore area, including targeted patrols of crime hotspots and recently afflicted areas for reassurance. We have devised a comprehensive set of actions to be taken upon vehicle-related crime being recorded in order to expedite the investigation of these reports.
