I spent nearly 17 years in the police in West Midlands and Gloucestershire. I have experience in response policing, CID, and as a detective working on serious and complex investigations around child abuse, sexual abuse and domestic abuse.
I have implemented the police component of a multiagency safeguarding hub. I have worked in risk management and co-ordinated multiagency safeguarding responses to support vulnerable people in our communities. I am now working in academia as the course leader for BSc Professional Policing (also known as the pre-join degree). The course is versatile and appeals to students wishing to pursue a career in policing or more broadly in criminal justice as well as those who have an interest in policing but who choose to go on to work in other sectors.
I am currently completing my PhD looking at trauma in wildlife rangers. I am research active and my work is mostly centred on wildlife crime, green criminology, public protection and broader issues in policing.
I currently teach public protection for policing, personal and professional development, investigative practice and critical incident management. I also do some sessions for paramedic science on safeguarding.
I like to bring reality into the classroom for students and work hard to provide students with support from practitioners and opportunities to practise their skills. I have fantastic guest speakers with lived experiences who support my teaching on the course.
I work in partnership with Gloucestershire Constabulary on the Professional Policing degree.
