Your local team
With 17 years of policing experience across Birmingham, Sandwell, and a previous stint in Dudley, I’ve gained extensive knowledge of the challenges our communities face.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked on response teams and in partnership roles, tackling issues such as antisocial behaviour, youth violence, and multi-agency problem-solving. Having both lived and worked in the area, I understand the concerns of local residents and businesses, and I’m committed to making a real difference.
I look forward to working closely with the community and our partner agencies to ensure Dudley West sectors remains a safe and welcoming place for everyone. If you see me out and about, feel free to stop for a chat—I’m always keen to hear your thoughts and concerns.
