He has a background in both uniformed and detective roles, as well as being an accredited Strategic Commander for both firearms and Public Order Public Safety policing. As Detective Chief Superintendent in the Safeguarding and Investigations command he was responsible for improving the quality of investigations work throughout Norfolk Constabulary including leading a project to build two state-of-the-art police stations to act as detective hubs, opening in 2020 and 2021.
