Shotley Bridge, Medomsley, Iveston and Hamsterley

I am a Police Inspector approaching 25 years’ service. I began my career as a constable on front line response working at Consett, then Stanley before spending many years in pretty much every location with Durham Constabulary. I have worked within the training environment mentoring new recruits to degree standard and spent many shifts as a custody Sergeant before joining Stanley and Consett as the Neighbourhood Inspector in May 2025. I remain extremely enthused and motivated to continue the fabulous work the neighbourhood teams and our dedicated partners do to drive performance, protect, and ensure our communities are a safer and more enjoyable place to live.

Hi, I’m the Police Sergeant covering Consett Rural Team. My team cover most of the area outside of the main town. I’ve been a police officer since 2016 and have spent the last 2 and a half years as a Neighbourhood Policing Sergeant at Consett. My career prior to Neighbourhood Policing was spent mainly on response policing teams and a short period in Custody. I am lucky to be part of a great team in Consett, working closely with our communities and partner agencies. I enjoy the variety in Neighbourhood Policing and the constant opportunities to learn and be creative in tackling crime. I am particularly passionate around supporting our rural communities and finding new ways to combat rural crime.

Hi, I am one of the local policing team covering Lanchester, Leadgate, Medomsley, Hamsterley and Ebchester. I have recently moved to the Rural Neighbourhood Policing Team from preciously working in Response Policing at Consett. Before this I worked in Chester-Le-Street and have good knowledge of the area. I have a strong dislike of unfairness and look forward to tackling this on a local level getting to grips with the local communities and the issues that effect us the most.

I am the local beat officer for Lanchester, Leadgate, Medomsley and Hamsterley. I enjoy working within the community and I started my career as a Police Community Support Officer almost 19 years ago in Stanley, before then becoming a Police Officer 2 and a half years later working mainly on Response. 2 years ago I then joined the Consett Neighbourhood Team. I work with a very enthusiastic team and we all strive to do the best we can to serve the community

Hi, I'm Louise, I'm the local officer for Blackhill, Bridgehill, Benfieldside and Shotley Bridge. Please give Jonny and me a wave if you see us out and about!

Hello, my name is Jack. Before becoming a PCSO I was an apprentice at Stanley Police station for 15 months, helping the Volume Crime team by assisting in any way I could. Now that I am a PCSO I am even more determined to make a positive impact on the local community. I will be covering Ebchester, Medomsley, Hamstley, and Leadgate.

Hi, I'm a Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) with 5 years of experience, currently covering Shotley, Benfieldside, and Bridgehill. I'm passionate about supporting the community and helping to keep our neighbourhoods safe and connected. Fun fact: when I'm not on patrol, you'll probably find me in the gym – I never miss leg day!
