Your Neighbourhood Policing Team
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.

Length of Service- 6 years
I have served with Greater Manchester Police for nearly 6 years and currently work as the PCSO for Eccles, specifically Brookhouse and Winton. My role is to work closely with residents, businesses and partner agencies to address local concerns and improve community safety.
My current focus includes Anti-social behaviour, Theft, establishing links within partner agencies and supporting long-term problem solving within the community. I regularly attend neighbourhood engagement events and work with local partners to tackle the issues that matter most to residents.
I encourage members of the community to attend local meetings which I hold monthly at the Winton Library and share their concerns so that together we can help make our neighbourhood a safer place to live, work and visit.
I have been a police officer for 6.5 years, with most of my career spent on frontline response policing. During this time, I have gained experience managing incidents, safeguarding vulnerable people, investigating crime and supporting victims. As a Police Sergeant, I am dedicated to leading my team, delivering high quality policing and building positive relationships within the communities we serve.
