Peterborough City Centre

As one of two Chief Inspectors for neighbourhood policing within Cambridgeshire, I lead the neighbourhood teams across the north of the county (Peterborough and Fenland), overseeing six Neighbourhood Policing Teams (NPTs) and two Neighbourhood Support Teams (NSTs).

My Neighbourhood Policing Teams are split with four covering Peterborough, led by two inspectors, and two teams within Fenland which are led by one inspector. Each individual team has a dedicated sergeant, police constables and police community support officers (PCSOs), who are focused on tackling crime, anti-social behaviour and the problems in your area. We work in partnership with local authorities, partner agencies and residents to build stronger, safer communities.

The two Neighbourhood Support Teams consist of a sergeant and PCs, led by an inspector, and primarily focus on tackling county lines and organised crime groups, as well as a wide range of other things to support general neighbourhood policing.

My 18-year policing career started in Peterborough as a response officer before I was promoted to sergeant where I remained in response policing for a short while before moving into force-wide specialist roles. Much of my time was spent on frontline policing in Peterborough and in the Fens, dealing with all manner of calls for service which has put me in good stead to understand and appreciate the challenges in policing these areas, and the responsibility to support the many diverse communities we have.

My experience of policing has taught me that putting the right officers in the right place is key, whilst making sure we are visible, approachable, task-focussed and determined in tackling crime and disorder. My team and I are focused on delivering this through proactive, intelligence-led policing that is rooted in engagement.

I am proud to lead neighbourhood policing in the north, my teams and I are committed to "creating a safer Cambridgeshire" with neighbourhood policing at the heart of everything we do.

I am the neighbourhood policing inspector with geographical responsibility for Peterborough City Centre and the Eastern area of the city (all PE1). I oversee two teams which each consist of a sergeant, police constables (PCs) and Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs), who are committed to identifying and tackling longer term issues. This is achieved through regular engagement with the communities that we serve, ensuring we are addressing issues that impact safety or challenges facing our community.

We do this in partnership with several key stakeholders to ensure we adopt a joint approach to problem solving to bring about lasting change. I am passionate about working with the community to deal with concerns that matter most to them, and welcome the opportunity for engagement.
I have served within Cambridgeshire Constabulary since 2006 and have extensive experience of working within Peterborough. After initially working within response policing, I moved to neighbourhood policing as a PC in 2012. I have served in all geographical areas across the wider city, as well as in proactive teams targeting serious and organised crime. I have established problem solving work in these areas including an intervention for youth violence at football games which has been shared as best practice nationally.

As an additional responsibility I am a Public Order commander for our Public Support Unit which is an additional responsibility for officers who are trained to respond to a wide range of events, including both pre-planned and spontaneous incidents. This could mean policing football matches, dealing with peaceful protests, or being called for mutual aid for much larger events working alongside other forces across the country.

I have been with Cambridgeshire Constabulary for ten years and have always worked in frontline roles. Starting my career as a Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) in 2015 before joining as a PC in 2017 on response. I then moved into neighbourhood policing within Peterborough in 2019 where I really found my passion for policing, working in the heart of Peterborough city centre.

I then achieved promotion to sergeant rank in 2022 where I gained experience in response policing and leading the March Neighbourhood team for three years. In July 2025 I returned to Peterborough city centre as one of two sergeants in the city.

My team covers a diverse area which consists of retail, entertainment and business outlets, and brings lots of visitors to the area, however many parts of the city are being developed and converted into residential premises.

The team work alongside partner agencies who have responsibility for the city centre, including council enforcement, homeless outreach teams and Aspire recovery service for those suffering with addiction issues.

The team manage several issues which includes anti-social behaviour (ASB), hate crime, retail crime, nighttime economy and on-street sex working.

I have additional training in method of entry (MOE), drug testing, operating a speed gun and advanced driving to pursue vehicles.

One thing that stands out in my neighbourhood policing career so far is some work I have done with two young people who were on the periphery of crime and impacting their local community. With the help of partner agencies and intervention from myself and colleagues, we have been able to have a positive impact on not only their lives by steering them away from crime, but also improving the quality of life of those living around them.
