Your Neighbourhood Policing Team
As the CSU Sergeant for Stevenage, I lead the local Community Safety Unit to reduce crime and disorder manage Anti-Social behaviour cases appropriately and proportionally and provide support and safeguarding to increase trust and confidence with the police.
I have worked for Hertfordshire Constabulary since 2003 in mostly frontline policing roles. I spent over 6 years as a Safer Neighbourhood Sergeant where my focus was on problem-oriented policing and keeping people safe. My team consists of a Senior Licensing Officer, an Investigator dedicated to ASB, a Business Support assistant for licensing and ASB, and a PC to both safeguard and support hate crime victims along with proactive work in our communities.
My team works alongside the other CSUs across the county and external partners when there is a need for joined up problem solving to manage and reduce/stop the risk to the public and the demand on policing, in line with the Prevention First ethos.
Police officer for over twenty years in front line policing. I have worked in Stevenage for the last 5 years including as a custody Sergeant, working in most policing areas in Hertfordshire and including the Metropolitan Police.

Crimes and priorities
-
Priority:
Action taken:
-
Priority:
ASB, drug related crime and theft.
Action taken:
Whilst work in this area has reduced, reports of substance misuse, drug dealing and associated ASB continues to be an issue and remains a priority for the team.
Thefts from shops, individuals openly drug dealing, using drugs and associated ASB are still being reported and although we have identified and arrested some of the individuals responsible, more targeted work is required utilising our powers under the misuse of drugs act, public order, crime and policing acts.
Work also continues with partner agencies under Operation URBAN across Stevenage, to identify and support those who are committing crime to support an addiction or are being exploited by drug dealers.
These interventions are proving successful, but we will continue to carry out high visible patrols and work with partner agencies and businesses to reduce these issues. -
Priority:
Vehicle-related nuisance behaviour (such as anti-social driving and speeding).
Action taken:
Feedback on social media and through Herts Connected surveys continues to suggest that speeding is a concern, particularly on the main throughfares within Stevenage.
We continue to receive many positive comments for ongoing work around this priority with excellent results and prosecutions.
We will continue to use of the PCC speed vans and carry out operations using Automatic Number Plate Recognition. We are now also focusing more on the use of E-scooters and motorcycle related ASB, not just in this area, but across Stevenage. We now have equipment and newly trained officers to work on this priority more.
Regular speed enforcement patrols have also been conducted in this area and numerous traffic offence reports have been issued and drivers reported for speeding. This activity is also ongoing.
