Your local team
I joined West Midlands Police in 2002 and have served in a number of frontline roles policing the areas of Coventry, Walsall and Birmingham. I have previously been posted within the planning team for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games where I worked closely with partners to deliver safe and secure events at the NEC and surrounding complexes. I have spent my previous 2 years within Counter Terrorism Policing. I am delighted to have become the constituency Inspector for Solihull Rural Team which is a unique area within West Midlands Police, covering the wards of Bickenhill, the NEC, Meriden, Knowle, as well as Dorridge & Hockley Heath.
I hope my knowledge and experience will benefit this constituency and I look forward to building positive relationships with partners and residents in order to tackle issues which are important to the communities within the rural area.

Priority:
To tackle instances of Fly tipping
Action taken:
We have observed a number of instances in our area in recent months of where fly tipping has occurred and the impact this has had on the community. We have built positive relationships with the local authority where we will support their investigations. This has resulted in a fixed penalty being given to one person for disposing of waste with further investigations which will likely lead to fines. We have even discussed joint patrols to tackle known hot spot areas.
