St Peter's, Park and Graiseley

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.
