Netherton, Quarry Bank and St Thomas

I joined West Midlands Police in 1999 with the initial part of my service being a Response Officer in Wolverhampton. After being promoted I then became a custody Sergeant at Sandwell. Since being promoted I have worked on a number of policing areas and across a number of roles including Neighbourhood Task Force in Birmingham East. I have also led the partnerships team at Sandwell and supervised a large city centre team in Wolverhampton.

I have lots of experience around the challenges facing communities across the West Midlands and I am a passionate advocate of neighbourhood policing and the huge difference our officers can make to communities dealing with crime and anti -social behaviour. I have worked mostly in neighbourhood roles, working with our partners and communities to problem solve.

I have only very recently taken responsibility for the Dudley East constituency and am committed to ensuring we provide an accessible service to our community that listens and acts.

My staff work from three sites at Halesowen, Sedgley and Dudley and cover the following wards:

Sedgley, Coseley, Upper Gornal, Gornal and Woodsetton covering the north of the Borough.
Castle and Priory and St James covering Dudley Town Centre
St Thomas covering Kates Hill, Netherton, Quarry Bank and Dudley Wood and
Halesowen, Hayley Green, Cradley and Wollescote and Belle Vale.
