Inspector Simon Pealing

 Inspector Simon Pealing joined Nottinghamshire Police in 1985 when he was stationed at Newark.

In 1988, he joined the Traffic Department as a Traffic Patrol and Armed Response Officer mainly covering the Bassetlaw area. He was promoted to Sergeant in 1997and moved to Oxclose Lane in Nottingham, before returning to the north at Worksop the following year where he worked as Sergeant and Temporary Inspector.

In 2001, he returned to the Traffic Department until being promoted to Inspector in 2003 and transferring to the Force Control Room.

As an Inspector he has fulfilled various roles such as Demand Management and Custody, and Project Managed a number of projects in headquarters positions. Between 2007and 2010 Inpsector Pealing was seconded to the National Policing Improvement Agency implementing changes to the way prisoners are treated throughout the UK and internationally.

He said "I am really look forward to working on a Neighbourhood Policing Area that benefits from having a committed team of officers who hold a wealth of experience and local knowledge - they know who the persistent offenders are and where to target their efforts. They are working hard to be visible and accessible to their communities and my role is to ensure that these Pledge promises are met.

"The officers and support staff have a good relationship with partners from the local authority, partner agencies as well as the communities of East Bassetlaw. Without their support the reduction in crime and antisocial behaviour across the area would  not have been possible.  I’m looking forward to working with these partners to further tackle the issues that are identified by our communities".
