I am a senior lecturer in the Policing team at Hallam. I joined Hallam in January 2022 from my role as a Police Sergeant in South Yorkshire Police. I have been a police officer since 2005 working in variety of operational roles including response, neighbourhoods, corporate services and district command. The latter five years of my service I was an operational police trainer and public order trainer. Whilst in operational training, I worked in collaboration with Hallam in the design and implementation of the degree level police training programmes that are now delivered.
