Your Safer Neighbourhood Team
Sergeant with 11 years’ service and a qualified detective, I’ve worked across Reactive CID and Protecting Vulnerable People department—but my favourite part of the job is still chatting with people, especially the younger generation (I promise I’m not that uncool). Half Swedish and cannot sit still, I can be easily distracted by any dog, cat, horse—or even the occasional cow—so don’t be surprised if I stop mid-conversation for a quick hello!
