Cambridge South

I am the South Area Commander, with responsibility for policing across Cambridge City, South Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire, and East Cambridgeshire, working closely with communities and partners to keep people safe.

I have been a police officer for 24 years and have worked in Cambridgeshire my whole career. I have been fortunate to hold a wide range of operational and leadership roles, including frontline neighbourhood policing, response policing, custody management, and partnership-based prevention work.

Over the last two years I have served as Superintendent / Head of Prevention and Custody, where I’ve helped shape neighbourhood policing, police custody, and multi-agency work with councils, health services, and voluntary organisations. My recent work has included oversight of anti-social behaviour action plan, neighbourhood guarantee, hotspot action fund, serious violence reduction duty, mental health demand, youth justice, and safeguarding vulnerable people.

As South Area Commander, I want to make a positive and lasting difference by ensuring policing remains focused on the needs of local communities. I am committed to responding quickly when you need us, being visible and accessible. I am committed to listening to residents and to addressing the issues that matter most to people where they live. I believe that prevention, early intervention, and strong local relationships are key to keeping communities safe, building trust, and improving confidence in policing.

I currently lead the Neighbourhood Policing teams across the Southern Policing Area of Cambridgeshire Constabulary. My portfolio includes oversight of dedicated teams in East Cambridgeshire, South Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire and Cambridge City, where I lead a committed group of inspectors, sergeants, police constables and PCSOs focused on tackling crime and building stronger, safer communities.

I began my policing career in Peterborough and then spent 15 years in specialist operations, including Armed Policing, Roads Policing, Dog Unit and Operational Support, interspersed with operational leadership roles across all ranks within the Southern Area of the county. This breadth of experience has given me a strong operational foundation and a clear understanding of how specialist capabilities and neighbourhood policing work best when they are fully aligned.

Community policing remains at the heart of what I want to achieve. I passionately believe that the most effective way to prevent crime, protect the vulnerable and reduce harm is through close collaboration with communities, local authorities and partner agencies. My teams are focused on delivering visible, proactive and intelligence led policing, with a relentless focus on prevention, problem solving and meeting victims’ needs.

While the challenges facing our communities continue to evolve, one thing remains constant: the public expects a police service that is responsive, fair and compassionate. I am proud to lead officers and staff who demonstrate those values every day.

I remain fully committed to creating a safer Cambridgeshire and to ensuring neighbourhood policing continues to sit at the heart of everything we do — creating safer spaces for people to live, work and enjoy their communities, supported by engaged and visible policing teams who prevent harm and pursue those who cause it.

I lead four dedicated teams of police officers covering the city centre and west, north, east, and south wards of Cambridge. Together, we focus on making our communities safer, more resilient, and better connected through effective, visible, and compassionate policing.

I’ve served in Cambridgeshire Constabulary since 2009, and in that time, I’ve gained a deep understanding of the issues that matter most to the people who live and work here. Before taking on my current role, I spent more than four years as a neighbourhood Sergeant in the north of the city, an experience that cemented my belief in the power of being approachable, visible, engaging and listening, and that neighbourhood policing can be a proactive force for positive change.

Community policing is a commitment. By working in partnership with local residents, businesses, schools, and partner agencies to tackle the root causes of crime and anti-social behaviour, I have experienced first-hand how strong relationships between local officers and the communities they work in, can lead to real improvements in people’s day-to-day lives. Whether it’s supporting vulnerable individuals, addressing concerns raised by local people, or making sure our streets remain safe and welcoming, I’m passionate about delivering policing that is responsive, respectful, and inclusive.

Cambridge is a unique and diverse city, and I remain committed to encouraging my team to remain approachable, accountable, and to constantly improve how we work together for a safer city.

I cover the South of Cambridge City including Trumpington and Cherry Hinton.

I joined policing in 2018 and spent the bulk of my career on response responding to 999 calls. I moved into a neighbourhood role and loved the variety and long term problem solving that came with it. I worked within St Neots NPT within a small team of officers in quite a rural and isolated area due to it being right at the edge of the county.
I was then offered a role as a sergeant which I could not turn down and went back to response as a sergeant to learn the ways. I always knew that I would want to come back to neighbourhood policing and have been fortunate enough to be in the seat I am now.

I love problem solving and looking at long term approaches to resolving them. Working with partner agencies is a key area for me and really looking forward to making a positive impact in the community that I serve. I like to be visible within the community so if you see me out and about please do stop me to say Hi!

I am the Neighbourhood Officer for Queen Edith's and Cherry Hinton wards.

I began my policing career in 2018, initially working in response for two years before moving into the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). After gaining valuable investigative experience, I returned to response policing with enhanced skills and knowledge.

In 2023, I joined the Cambridge city south neighbourhood team, where I currently serve as the dedicated officer for the Queen Edith’s and Cherry Hinton wards. Since joining the team, I’ve been involved in tackling a series of moped-enabled robberies, targeting a well-known people engaged in criminal activity, and disrupting illegal and prohibited behaviour within the community.

I’m passionate about problem solving and proactive policing, and I’m committed to making a positive difference for residents through engagement, prevention, and enforcement.

I am the neighbourhood officer for Queen Edith’s and Trumpington wards.

I have been a police officer for more than 21 years, primarily served in Cambridge city and south cambs sector. I have held various roles over the years, including response, CID, and integrated offender management.

I have been a neighbourhood officer since 2020, it’s a varied role where real differences can be made to individuals and communities at large. I’m approachable, sympathetic and listen to people’s views and concerns try to solve the issues. I’m a firm believer in partnership working with partner agents (hold them to account) to solve issues such as anti-social behaviour and housing.
Outside of work I’m involved in number of voluntary organisations and mentoring scheme for young people.

I first joined the police in 2009, but my career as a Police Officer began in 2014 where I spent eight years on response. As cliché as it is to say, no two days were ever the same and those years flew by. Wanting to try something new, and a chance to work on a passion of mine, I changed roles to become the Casualty Reduction Officer for the Constabulary between 2022 and 2025, specialising in Road Safety as part of the Vision Zero Partnership.

One of the best parts of that role was speaking to young drivers as they begin their journey into their driving. Wanting to expand on the work I did in schools beyond road safety, I then started my new role in August 2025 as the Safer Schools Officer covering Cambridge City. It’s an exciting role working within schools. I work closely with safeguarding staff to make sure every young person gets the support they need. The total number of students that I offer support to is around 14,000, so it’s a busy role!

The Safer Schools Partnership is about helping to keep young people safe by helping them understand the risks of certain choices and how to keep their community a safe place for everyone. This is done by being visible and accessible to all students, offering education, interventions and support, in turn helping to safeguard and prevent offending in the future. Some of the important topics include online safety, the dangers of drugs, county lines, exploitation and knife crime, and of course, road safety!

I am the neighbourhood officer for Trumpington and Cherry Hinton wards.

I’ve worked for the force since 2009, during which time I’ve had a variety of different roles including response policing, previous neighbourhood teams and managing prolific offenders. During my time as a police officer, I’ve covered over time, every geographical area south of Peterborough in Cambridgeshire.

I joined the South City Neighbourhood Team in 2024 and since then I’ve enjoyed working with an enthusiastic, fantastic team. Collectively we all have great strengths that together make us very effective.

Neighbourhood Policing is exactly what you make it. Within this team we’re able to be proactive in our problem-solving efforts and varied in our response to crime and disorder.
I’m keen to continue locking up people that cause harm to their community, working with residents to enable intelligence led targeted work and pursue those utilising two-wheeled vehicles to rob and cause misery.

Neighbourhood Policing relies on an active community voice so if you want an effective informed policing team, please keep submitting your intelligence and reporting incidents. As is often the case, a small bit of information seemingly minor, can be the missing piece to a larger puzzle.

I’m keen to make the south of the city an enjoyable place to live, work and visit. Please come say hi if you see me out in the community.

I am the neighbourhood officer for Cherry Hinton and Queen Edith’s wards.

I have been a police officer since 2019, and a neighbourhood police officer since 2024. Before I joined neighbourhood police, I spent five years on response, responding to 999 calls, along with other less immediate incidents. I learnt a lot during this time, about how each incident requires a different response; from fast and fluid decision making, to the less exciting area of police but no less important. However, I joined the neighbourhood policing team so I could have valuable time to really focus on matters and issues that I felt needed attention within the community and area that I police.

This has come in different forms, such as tackling the emerging crime series such as theft of two-wheel conveyances that is becoming more prevalent, using all available tools and techniques to locate offenders. Or fighting the ever-wedded offences of street-based drug dealing and knife-based violence; working as a team to secure important charges on those that bring drugs and weapons into the city and playing our part in ensuring these people are robustly dealt with and held accountable.

This work comes both in the form of hi-visibility patrols; to have a visible deterrent to criminals and a reassuring presence within the city. To plain cloth patrols that allow myself and my colleagues to have an advantage an ever-growing imbalance as criminal organisation become more sophisticated in the ways that they operate and obscure their intentions.

These results are not seen by everyone, but to the people that do recognise them, they are felt and noticed.

I am the neighbourhood officer for Trumpington and Queen Edith’s wards.

I joined the police in 2019 and started my career on response, where I built a strong foundation in frontline policing. It was fast-paced and demanding, but it taught me the importance of quick decision-making, resilience, and teamwork. Over time, I realised that what really motivates me is building long-term relationships and making a difference in the communities we serve, which led me to move into neighbourhood policing.

Community policing has always been important to me. I really believe in the old-school approach—the Bobby on the beat who knows their patch, and who’s known and trusted by the people who live there. There’s real value in being visible, accessible, and consistent. It helps build confidence, gather intelligence, and, most importantly, makes people feel safer.

I now work in the south of Cambridge city, and I take a lot of pride in being a familiar face in the community. I enjoy getting out on foot patrol, taking the time to speak to residents, listen to their concerns, and work with them to solve problems. It’s not just about reacting to crime—it’s about preventing it and creating a sense of connection between the public and the police.

Knowing the area I serve, and the people within it, gives me a real sense of purpose. I believe neighbourhood policing is at its best when officers are truly part of the communities they look after, and that’s exactly the kind of officer I aim to be every day.
