Peter has 25 years policing experience across a wide range of policing departments and is a firearms and public order commander.


Peter leads for Neighbourhood Watch for the force and is passionate about supporting local communities to work with their local PCSO and police officer to prevent crime and catch those who commit crime.


The neighbourhood watch co-ordinators and members are vital in helping police understand local concerns and in return I expect local officers and PCSO's to have a strong relationship with their local NHW.
