Plane crash in Ahmedabad
The UK is working with local authorities in India to urgently establish the facts and provide support to those involved.
I am the Chief Inspector with responsibility for community policing across Bassetlaw, Newark and Sherwood.
Given the significant size and geography of the area, I am also proud to lead the force’s work tackling rural and wildlife crime across Nottinghamshire.
Having spent time growing up in Worksop, and living within the area, I am passionate about ensuring our neighbourhood officers are making a tangible, and positive, difference to the lives of our communities across Bassetlaw, Newark and Sherwood.
I am committed to ensuring we listen to you, act upon your concerns and articulate the results we are achieving. I have served for 28 years, across disciplines including major crime investigation and public order policing, and am able to bring a range of skills and experience to help guide our dedicated staff to improve the quality of life for residents, business owners and visitors of this wonderful part of the county.
I am the District Commander for Newark & Sherwood, with responsibility for Neighbourhood Policing across the district. I joined Nottinghamshire Police in 2005, and in that time have held a number of roles. I was a response officer in the city for 5 years, before moving to city CID and qualifying as a detective. I was promoted and undertook the role of city centre response sergeant, before again being promoted in 2019 to a Demand Management Inspector for the city. In this role I had responsibility for response policing and critical incident management in the city, supervising 6 teams with over 60 officers covering 24hr response policing.
In 2021 I was posted to my current position as District Commander for Newark & Sherwood.
I have had the benefit of wide ranging experience throughout my career, and have undertaken additional skills and responsibilities including Public Order policing, and qualifying as an assessor for newly promoted officers to ensure they meet the required standards of competence.
Policing can undoubtedly be challenging, but I remain committed to ensuring my teams have high standards and work effectively to serve the public and keep people safe.
