Having transferred to Lancashire Constabulary from Humberside Police in January 2001, I have gained over 20 years’ experience as a police officer. In that time I have held several positions including Immediate Response Officer, Investigator into serious crime including burglary and violence offences, Community Beat Manager with responsibility for areas in Accrington and Blackburn, Divisional Training Manager and A1 Assessor. Professional Qualifications I have obtained include, Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (PTLLS) First Aid, A1 qualified assessor, Restorative Justice at both Level 1 and 2, Health and Safety Risk Assessor, Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults, Coaching and Mentoring for Leaders, Domestic Violence Protection Orders, Recruitment and Selection, Coaching and Mentoring for Leaders, Supervisors Development Programme, Operational Responsibilities, Police Sergeants 1 and 2 examinations, Health and Safety Display Equipment Assessor, Sergeants Development Programme, Talent Management for Future Leaders, Operational Activities and Being a Leader. Also I have attended several supervisory/management courses as I have qualified to be a Police Sergeant. In the course of my duties I have prepared criminal case files, Anti-Social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs), Criminal Anti-social Behaviour Orders (CRASBOs) and Acceptable Behaviour Contracts (ABCs). I also have vast experience of multi-agency work with key partner agencies such as Royal Blackburn Hospital, local housing associations, youth offending team and the probation service. I enjoy being part of a team but can work alone with minimum supervision, showing initiative and leadership qualities to support the aims and targets of the organisation.
