Peterborough North

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’m the Neighbourhood Policing Inspector responsible for the North and South Peterborough teams, covering a wide and diverse area that includes both urban and rural communities. From the vibrant neighbourhoods of Hampton, Orton, Bretton and Werrington to the more rural settings of Eye, Wittering, and the surrounding villages, our teams are embedded in the heart of the communities we serve.

I began my policing career in 2001 and have held a variety of roles over the years, gaining a broad perspective on the challenges and opportunities within modern policing. For the past six years, I’ve focused on neighbourhood policing, working across all of teams in Peterborough. This experience has reinforced my belief in the power of local engagement and proactive problem-solving.

My teams consist of dedicated sergeants, police officers, and police community support officers (PCSOs), all of whom are committed to working closely with residents, local organisations, and partner agencies. Together, we focus on addressing the issues that matter most to our communities - whether that’s tackling anti-social behaviour, supporting vulnerable individuals, or building long-term solutions to recurring problems.

We are passionate about the work we do and the people we serve. Our approach is rooted in visibility, accessibility, and trust. We believe that by building strong relationships and maintaining open lines of communication, we can make a real difference in people’s lives.

Neighbourhood policing is about connection, collaboration, and creating safer, stronger communities for everyone.

I have more than nine years of dedicated service in policing and have had a well-rounded career across response policing, volume crime, and neighbourhood teams, with the last four years serving as a sergeant within neighbourhood policing.

I started my time in neighbourhood policing in October 2020, joining Peterborough’s city centre team as a Police Constable. I started an acting sergeant role in November 2021 before moving in August 2023 to the north of Peterborough, continuing my work in community-focused policing.

During my time in neighbourhood policing, I have worked on reducing begging and vagrancy related offences in the city centre, ran an operation to prevent bike thefts, protected some of the most vulnerable people in our community and developed and lead on an operation into targeting some of the highest risk offenders who habitually carry knives and other weapons.

I am the neighbourhood officer for the Gunthorpe ward.

I have been employed by Cambridgeshire police since 2008 and have had numerous roles within the organisation, from being a detention officer in custody, to my current role as a neighbourhood policing officer.

In 2019 I made the switch from police staff to a fully pledged police officer and am one of seven police officers and two PCSOs who cover the northern sector of Peterborough.

I am multi-lingual and in addition to English, I also speak Portuguese.

I am a very approachable individual who likes the occasional chitchat, so please come and say hello when you see me out and about. Looking forward to meeting all of you!

I am the neighbourhood officer for the Bretton and Glinton & Castor wards (including Deeping Gate, Northborough, Etton, Peakirk, Marholm and Maxey).

I joined Cambridgeshire Constabulary in January 2020 and have been in Peterborough’s northern Neighbourhood Policing Team for about three years now.

My role is quite varied, and my day-to-day regularly changes depending on demand. However, you will often see me conducting proactive foot and vehicle patrols on the beat, engaging which victims of anti-social behaviour (ASB), targeting offenders, meeting and working with the local authority, housing and other partner organisations, and helping to solve local long-term issues by obtaining court orders such as Criminal Behaviour Orders (CBOs) or closure orders on properties.

I am multi-lingual and in addition to English, I also speak Portuguese.

If you see me out and about feel free to come and chat. I am looking forward to meeting those who I have not met on my patrols yet, and for those that I have already met, I look forward to continuing working with you.

I joined Cambridgeshire Constabulary in 2001. I was a response officer for the Peterborough area for 16 years before moving to the Op Can-Do Neighbourhood Police Team, then in 2017 to the safer schools team. My role is to support and guide students so they can learn, thrive, and navigate challenges within the school environment. I am deeply committed to early engagement, helping young people to make positive choices and diverting them away from entering the criminal justice system.
I cover the northern area of Peterborough secondary schools which includes Queen Katharine Academy, Ken Stimpson Academy, Manor Drive Academy, The King's (The Cathedral) School, Richard Barnes Academy (Trinity & Fitzwilliam Campus's) and Arthur Mellows Village College.

I am the neighbourhood officer for the South Bretton, Longthorpe and Wittering wards (including Sutton, Thornaugh and Upton).

I have been a police officer with Cambridgeshire Constabulary for ten years, comprising of three years as a voluntary special constable before joining as a full-time officer seven years ago.

I am very passionate about policing and take great pride in trying to make my communities safer for everyone.

I have mostly spent my time as a response officer attending a wide range of 999 calls and incidents. I have also spent time on various attachments with investigation-based crime teams along the way.

My unique training comprises of me being an experienced tutor constable to new officers, as well as being a specialist in response driving, taser, stinger, public order and public safety and custody detention.

I am the neighbourhood officer for the Werrington ward.

I have been working as a PC in Peterborough for nearly five years and have been on the northern Peterborough Neighbourhood Policing Team for just under two years now. My main area of focus is Werrington where I regularly patrol, as well as the wider north side of Peterborough, depending on where demands require me to be.
My main role is gathering and developing intelligence provided by the community, visiting vulnerable people, carrying out proactive patrols in hotspot areas, targeting offenders and working with partner agencies to help solve local issues.

I am really looking forward to meeting those who I have not met on my patrols yet, and for those that I have already met, I look forward to continuing working with you.

I am the neighbourhood officer for the Paston and Walton wards.

I have been a PC with Cambridgeshire Constabulary for about seven years in total and have spent the last five years as a northern Peterborough neighbourhood officer covering Wittering to Thorney and all areas in between. My current designated area is the Paston and Walton wards, however I patrol other areas across the sector alongside my team, depending on where the demand is.

My main role is developing intelligence provided by the community, visiting vulnerable addresses, carrying out proactive patrols in hotspot areas, targeting offenders and working with partner agencies to help solve local issues.
I am looking forward to meeting those who I have not met on my patrols yet, and for those that I have already met, I look forward to continuing working with you, and I am always happy to stop and chat and help where I can.

I have recently joined Northern NPT, covering Ravensthorpe, West Town and Barnack wards (including Wothorpe, Pilsgate, Bainton, Helpston, Ufford and Southorpe). Additionally, I assist the remainder of my team with the wider Northern NPT area.

I joined Cambridgeshire Constabulary in 2008, initially as a member of police staff in the Demand Hub where I took 101 and 999 calls. I was promoted as a Demand Hub Supervisor where I managed various teams and reviewed incidents so we could respond appropriately based on their individual threat, harm and risk.

I joined as a PC in 2021 and I have subsequently served in response, CID, the Volume Crime Team and finally joining NPT at the beginning of 2025. I have also served two secondments at the Prince’s Trust which Cambridgeshire Constabulary jointly collaborated with Peterborough City Council to run courses throughout the year. I am also a Level 2 PSU trained officer, more commonly known as the ‘riot police’. I help to police football matches, facilitate the right to protest and provide a tactical option to our Op’s Planning Team for various other deployments.

My time served in the Demand Hub has really helped me to understand the day to day demand the police service faces. I have taken and reviewed thousands of calls from across Cambridgeshire from our rural communities, urban residents and our partner organisations.

I joined the police as the old cliché says “to try and make a difference”. Despite the cliché I still feel after 17 years that I can and do make a difference across the communities I serve. I try where possible to educate, when and where it is reasonable and proportionate to do so and, if required, I will take enforcement action. I like to engage across the board, especially with our partner agencies to prevent us working in silo as we are often trying to achieve the same goals. I particularly try and engage with children and our youth communities to help break down barriers and make approaching police officers as fun as possible and build trust. Even when I am kitted up in my riot gear I will still be out and about as visible as I can whether I am policing football matches or at protests talking to people, so if you see me out don’t hesitate to walk over and have a chat…you might even get a sticker!

I am the Police Community Support Officer for the Eye, Thorney and Newborough wards.

I have been a PCSO since September 2011 where I initially covered the central Peterborough area, before moving to the northern sector of Peterborough where I had responsibility for the North Bretton and Werrington wards.

I now work across the whole of the northern sector of Peterborough, including several of our villages and urban areas, alongside one other PCSO.

My focus is supporting local priorities and engagement with the public. I am often in the community visiting schools or community groups delivering talks to help people to stay safe online and protect themselves from scams, bogus callers and rogue traders.

I am the Police Community Support Officer for Bretton, South Bretton, Longthorpe, Wittering (including Sutton, Thornaugh and Upton), Ravensthorpe, West Town, Barnack (including Wothorpe, Pilsgate, Bainton, Helpston, Ufford and Southorpe), and Glinton & Castor (including Deeping Gate, Northborough, Etton, Peakirk, Marholm and Maxey).

I have been employed with Cambridgeshire Constabulary since September 2006.

My day-to-day role includes foot and cycle patrols covering the local beat areas as well as deployments from the control room that require an immediate response. I am also tasked via my line manager to attend reports that are made via 101 and online.

Along with my fellow PCSOs and PCs, I hold police surgeries across the area to listen to your concerns. You may have seen us in local shops and community centres holding these. It’s lovely to see you all and get to know the community.

I also attend the local schools regularly with the aim to educate children about crime or give general advice and give the students a chance to chat and get to know us.

I look forward to seeing you all out and about in the community, please give me a wave or come and chat with me!

I have been with Cambridgeshire Constabulary for 25 years working in a wide variety of roles and departments. I started on response in Peterborough and I have been in the rank of sergeant for the past 23 years in response, CID, Community Cohesion, professional standards, Corporate Planning and Safer Schools.

I had previously worked in Safer Schools for eight years and I have returned to the role now covering the whole county.

The aim of the Constabulary’s Safer Schools Partnership is to provide prevention, diversion and early intervention work to improve outcomes for children across the county. Officers provide positive engagement to build trust and confidence between the school community (young people, staff and parents) and the police. We work to improve safety and enhance safeguarding within the school and wider community and develop prevention strategies to help young people deal with risk and support victims of crime.
