I joined the Suffolk Constabulary in November 2006 and after my basic training at Ipswich, I completed 10 weeks supervised patrol within Lowestoft. Following this I was posted to Saxmundham, where I served as a response officer for just over a year. In October 2008 I was pleased to be appointed as the Saxmundham SNT officer, covering the town and also the surrounding villages.

Since taking on the role of SNT officer, I have linked in with various groups and schemes within the town and surrounding villages to build relations between the police, partnership agencies and the community.
