I have served with Greater Manchester Police for almost three years and am passionate about working with residents, businesses and partner agencies to help keep our communities safe.

As part of my role, I work closely with local residents and partner agencies to address concerns within the community, prevent crime and support those who may be vulnerable.

My current priorities include safeguarding those at risk of harm, tackling anti-social behaviour, including issues associated with illegally used e-bikes, and disrupting drug dealing within the community.

I work closely with local partners to understand the challenges affecting the area and develop long-term solutions that make a positive difference to those who live and work here.

I regularly attend local events and encourage residents to share any concerns, information or feedback. These conversations help shape local policing priorities and support effective problem-solving within the community.

I have served with Greater Manchester Police for six and a half years and currently work as a Neighbourhood Officer for Gorton. My role is to work closely with residents, businesses and partner agencies to address local concerns and improve community safety.
My current focus includes detecting crime on the road network and identifying when vehicles are being used to facilitate criminality. This can range from dealing with uninsured drivers and other road traffic offences to targeting vehicles being used to transport illegal drugs or assist in wider criminal activity. I am also focused on tackling shoplifting, addressing anti-social behaviour, and supporting long-term problem-solving initiatives within the communities I police.
I regularly attend neighbourhood engagement events and work with local partners to tackle the issues that matter most to residents. By working proactively with the community, businesses and partner agencies, I aim to reduce crime, improve public confidence and make Gorton a safer place for everyone.
I encourage members of the community to attend local meetings and share their concerns so that, together, we can help make our neighbourhood a safer place to live, work and visit.

My current focuses are on tackling serious violence, disrupting knife-enabled crime, and proactively identifying and arresting offenders responsible for causing harm within the community. This is done through a combination of visible neighbourhood policing, intelligence-led activity, and partnership working where the aim is to prevent violence, reduce the carrying of weapons, and bring those responsible for criminality to justice.
I encourage members of the community to attend local meetings and share their concerns so that together we can help make our neighbourhood a safer place to live, work and visit.
