As London’s first response unit, the TSG gets called upon to attend a variety of policing issues including major incidents, public order, counter terrorism, and CBRN defence. We support the Met Police 24/7 with the Commissioner’s Reserve and Borough Reserve. Essentially, we provide an immediate presence at critical incidents, and give substantial support to high-volume crime boroughs. Our responsibilities also cover AEP and Taser response, including rapid entries – where we get into buildings quickly to secure evidence or make arrests. We’ve also been tasked with training and equipping 295 TSG officers in the use of a SIG Sauer 516 rifle. That means, in the event of a terrorist attack, we can arm our officers within an hour to assist others across London.

As well as working on the borough I manage and run the Ealing Met football team. Currently running a team with over 30 players my role includes organising the fixtures, managing the accounts, team management and liaising with the competition and FA representatives in the various competitions we take part in. We are currently raising money for help the heroes charity as well as Care of Police Survivors. We currently play in the West London League Division 1 however when the new season starts in 2016/17 we will moving over to the London Police Football League which is run by the FA. I am currently organising a friendly fixture between EMPFC and the semi-pro Southall FC which will provide a fantastic opportunity for a community outreach day, showing a different side to Police Officers. I have recently agreed a deal with North Greenford United to use their home ground as our pitch on the borough of Ealing. I look forward to hosting opposition teams as well as charity and community events.I also run the team's twitter - please follow below!

I was posted to the Uniformed Emergency Response Team A at Ealing borough. My responsibilities on this team include responding to immediate 999 emergency calls from the public as well as high visibility proactive patrol on the borough.I trained as a Public Order Officer (level 2) in December '16 and this has expanded my remit to policing high profile events that require a higher level of trained public order Officers. This includes high risk football games, public events and protests. I have further volunteered to become a football spotter for the Chelsea, Fulham and QPR home games however I am yet to undertake these duties due to time constraints on my normal ERT duties.

I am responsible for helping run the LPIFL Football League liaising between the League Chairman and the various managers within the league ensuring a professional and smoothly run league. My specific area is detailing the statistics and managing the match reports that come in after fixtures dealing with any issues that may arise after a fixture. I am responsible for monitoring personnel player performance and awarding statistics to individual players and teams for the allocation of awards at the closure of the season. For the season of 2017/18 I was tasked to expand the competition into four geographical groups and expand the competition.

The North Area Taskforce (NTF) is focussing on specific crime types that is currently directly affecting North London. The NTF comprises of 6 teams consisting of 30 PCs, 5 Sergeants and an Inspector from the boroughs of Harrow, Ealing, Islington, Camden, Brent and Barnet boroughs and is currently based in the Islington and Camden areas working with Operation Attrition. Through proactive plain clothed patrols the NTF is tackling theft offending, primarily moped enabled theft, and also crime which directly effects the Night Time Economy of Camden borough. Alongside advanced drivers and a team of detectives from Operation Attrition the NTF will seek to diminish the capabilities of those committing wide scale robberies and thefts on members of the public in North London by way of proactive patrols, crime hotspot tasking and executing arrest warrants. Recently we have been asked to support Brent Borough with regards to the rise of gang tensions due to recent violent incidents in the borough. Again through plain clothed proactive policing the aim is to disrupt the carriage of weapons by known nominals in the area and prevent confrontation between the two main gangs responsible for a large part of the recent spike in violence.

Policing a unique ward within the Ealing Borough. Concentrating on disrupting and eradicating specific ward priorities such as drug dealing, anti social behaviour, prostitution and burglary through a mixture of high visibility policing and plain clothes operations and initiatives. Southall Green is one of the busiest Police wards in West London constantly providing unique Policing challenges. With over 40% of the Ward being born outside of the UK with a significant Sikh, Muslim and Hindu population, knowledge of the complex and intrinsic cultural values of the various religions and ethnicities was vital. I found working closely with what is a very Pro-Police community was both rewarding and ultimately crucial in helping to reduce these priority crimes within the ward. Having first been introduced to Southall via a Daily Mail article "Welcome the Slums of Southall" , my experience of policing this unique ward could not have been more different. A strong sense of community identity exists with a backbone of religious and ethnic tolerance despite the vast number of different ethno-religious groups within the area. Southall was, and is, a very rewarding place to begin my career.

I worked as a volunteer Police Officer with West Yorkshire Police, with the same powers and duties as a Regular Police Constable, the only difference being is that I offer my time for free. The minimum expected of an SC after 6 months training is 16 hours a month, I often volunteered over 40 hours a month on a consistent basis showing my dedication and hard working ethic, whilst holding down a 40 hour a week job with no detrimental effect. I supported front line uniformed policing, having gained Independent Patrol (IP) status in May 2012, I have been tasked to support departments such as Neighbourhood Policing, Emergency Response, CID, Proactive, Traffic, Dogs and Regional Roads Crime Team. I worked with Operation Viper, which was a force wide initiative targeting serious crime including the trafficking of drugs and acquisitive burglary. Working with the West Yorkshire OSSD (Operational Specialist Support Division) on a weekly basis and conducting show of forces in high crime areas. For more information on Operation Viper please follow this link:http://www.westyorkshire.police.uk/viperDue to working as a Special Constable I have gained numerous invaluable skills such as; remaining calm in dangerous and stressful situations, social awareness and people skills, self reliance, team work, working in a demanding environment, dealing with confrontational and emotional situations, discipline, self motivation, customer service and crucially a hard work ethic. I have felt the experience as a SC has given me experiences and skills that constantly benefit my day to day 9-5 civilian working life.
