Your local team
I joined the Police at 19 years old, this was my first full time job and nearly all my 23 years’ service has been spent within local policing as this is an area of policing that I am most passionate about. I thoroughly enjoy working alongside our communities and key partners to work through a problem together. I have previously been an inspector on our force response teams, where I was fortunate enough to be in a role that enabled me to cover our response teams all over the West Midlands Police force area, which gave me a great insight into how our organisation responds to our most critical incidents and how we work alongside a variety of communities to tackle local issues. I have also led our partnerships team, which gave me excellent experience of collaborating with our key partners to support each other to deliver the best service possible to the public. I am passionate about the welfare of my staff and ensuring that they are empowered to serve the community to the highest standard possible by them having the right training and support.

St Peter’s and Park: Street Sex Work, Drugs and Serious Youth Violence.
Action taken:
We continue to be aware of ongoing reports of anti-social behaviour in and around Staveley Road and other areas within the community. We want to reassure residents that we are taking this matter seriously.
Our team continues to conduct high-visibility patrols in known hot spot areas to deter incidents and provide visible reassurance to the public.
In response to persistent offenders, we are using civil enforcement measures where appropriate.
We are working closely with key partners including the Local Authority, the Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Intervention Team, and Environmental Services to develop sustainable, long-term solutions. Where necessary, we will also support the use of tenancy enforcement actions.Our Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) will maintain a strong and visible presence in the community. They have arranged a series of community drop-in sessions, offering residents the opportunity to meet the team, raise concerns, and help shape local policing priorities. Please check our events for planned meetings where you can come along and talk to us.
We have completed a recent S23 Misuse of Drugs warrant in PARK and recovered a number of items from this. We have also taken action against the tenant.
If you have any information, please get in touch or contact your local dedicated neighbourhood officers PC Steve Finazzi and PC Tom Dawson.

Priority:
St Peters and Park - serious violence will continue to be our focus in the area. We understand that due in part to the forthcoming elections we are yet to have a meeting with the community. As soon as that happens we can understand what the next steps will be from your perspective.
Action taken:
We have continued to increase our visibility and are changing the way that we patrol the area. I hope that you have noticed this and know that we are committed to not just reacting to crime but deterring it also.
We continue to rely on your intelligence so please ensure you speak to us in person if you see us or via email/101.
Theft from motor vehicle is a high priority for us at this present time and we have a dedicated patrol plan to assist us with this. Ensure you report any suspicious activity and we can work to deal with the suspects quickly and efficiently.
