Wolverhampton City Centre

I joined WMP in 1998 and spent my early years working in Wolverhampton and Sandwell on 24/7 response, a neighbourhood crime fighting team and investigative roles. My first ‘beat’ was the Low Hill and Bushbury areas and I remember busy shifts investigating crimes and dealing with anti-social behaviour.

In 2008 I moved to work on the Public Protection Unit where I spent a number of years investigating sexual offences and managing registered sex offences. The Management of Sexual and Violent Offenders (MOSOVO) became my passion and I completed a number of specialist training courses. Safeguarding children and people vulnerable to being harmed was the focus of our work and a fulfilling role in policing.

In 2020 I moved back into uniform and took up the role as inspector for Wolverhampton City Centre. In this role I have led on work around our response to dealing with business crime, problem-solving projects to create safer spaces and managing the night-time economy.

As well as trying to keep the public safe, I focus on the wellbeing of my staff and ensuring the have the support, training and equipment that need to do their job to the best of their ability.
