PC Shane Jupp - Biography
Fairford & Lechlade
I joined Gloucestershire Police in 2005, working at Cirencester as a response officer. I moved to Fairford in 2009 as an area officer and spent several months seconded to the Priority Enforcement Team at Cirencester. I moved to the role of Beat Manager's role at Fairford in 2010. I have enjoyed the first few months of working with the local community and I am grateful for all their support. The next few months will be one of change for all of us but I am committed to the service we can deliver to the local communities.
