Eccles

I have 23 years’ policing experience, starting my career with the Metropolitan Police Service where I served for four years before joining Greater Manchester Police. Throughout my service, I have worked in uniformed roles across both response and neighbourhood policing.
As a Neighbourhood Inspector in Salford, I’m committed to working closely with our communities and partner agencies to tackle local issues, reduce crime and improve public confidence.

I joined Greater Manchester Police in 2002 and have spent the entirety of my service in operational policing. Following an initial period on Response, I worked across a number of specialist departments, including Special Operations and Volume Crime, gaining extensive experience in a variety of policing roles. I joined Salford in 2025 and am currently one of the Neighbourhood Sergeants responsible for the Eccles, Irlam and Cadishead areas. This is the largest and one of the busiest neighbourhood policing areas within Salford, presenting a diverse range of policing challenges and opportunities to engage with local communities and partners.
