Your Safer Neighbourhood Team
I joined the Police in 2001 and my first posting was at Peartree Police Station as a PC. Since then, I have returned to Derby West Section as a DC, SNT Sgt and now LPU Inspector.
I have worked at South Division for much of my career so far, both in uniform and as a Detective.
I am very happy to be back at Derby West, I am familiar with the area and have always enjoyed working here. I am very much looking forward to working with the Team, Partners and the Community to make Derby West a safe place to live, work and visit.
