I joined Merseyside Police in 2000 and was appointed Assistant Chief Constable in February 2025 with responsibility for Response & Resolution and Matrix.
I have enjoyed a varied career starting in Local Policing and Response before moving into Investigations. I became a qualified Detective before gaining promotion to Sergeant moving back into uniformed roles within Response and Community Engagement in St Helens. Upon being promoted to Inspector I performed the role of Critical Incident Manager in Knowsley and Local Policing before attaining the rank of Chief Inspector Operations Support within Knowsley. I later worked within Corporate Support and Development as part of the project team to deliver the force functional model before taking up the role of Superintendent Criminal Justice, Superintendent Knowsley and latterly before promotion to T/ACC responsible for Criminal Justice, Local Policing and Prevention I was Head of Professional Standards, Anti-Corruption and Vetting.
I have undertaken the Executive Leadership Programme at the College of Policing, I am also a Strategic Firearms Commander and a Gold Public Order Public Safety Commander.
I have always been passionate about policing and people, aiming to do the best I can for the communities we are privileged to serve and the teams I lead. Standards and values, what we do and how we do it really matter to me.
I am also extremely committed to improving inclusivity for everybody in our force, celebrating every individuals uniqueness, supporting who they are and what they contribute to the police family. As part of this work I undertake coaching and mentoring and am extremely proud to be the Chief Officer sponsor for the LGBT+, Faith and Armed Forces Networks.
I live in the Merseyside area with my husband and two teenage sons. I love to travel and visit new places as well as taking our dog Archie out on walks whilst trying to stay as fit and healthy as I can!
