Dudley North

I have been a serving officer with West Midlands Police for 10 years, having worked in frontline policing throughout this time. I previously worked in a high pace environment on Response in Birmingham before coming to Dudley on promotion as a Sergeant in 2021.

Having worked on Neighbourhood Policing in Dudley for a number of years now, I have a good understanding of what matters to our communities. This varies of course, but there is an overwhelming consensus of a need for action when it comes to solving local problems and policing having an impact.

I am a firm believer in being visible, informed and efficient in resolving problems. I champion a zero tolerance approach to criminality and anti social behaviour and you can expect to see my Neighbourhood Teams being pro-active in tackling crime and ASB, yet reassuring to the communities we serve.

I have 29 years' service within West Midlands Police. Most of those years have been within Dudley. I have served on a Traffic Department, I have been a Custody Sergeant, led a proactive team and, for the past two years, I have been a Duty Inspector covering Response Officers in Dudley.

I have lived in the area all of my life - although I don't live here now, I am not far away.

At the moment, I lead a dedicated but small team of officers and we are passionate about doing the very best for the communities we serve.
