Local Policing Team

Prior to becoming a police officer I served in the Army for 14 years. I am married with a daughter and enjoy running and mountaineering in my spare time.

Since joining Leicestershire Constabulary in 2007 I have been based at Blaby Local Policing Unit working on a shift in front line policing and on the pro-active Neighbourhood Action Team focussing on crime and criminality within the Blaby District Area.

As the Principal Beat Officer for Leicester Forest East I hope to engage with the community making myself as accessible as possible. I look forward to taking positive action against criminal activity and tackling community issues that affect the quality of day-to-day life within the community.
