Your neighbourhood policing team
Garrett joined the Constabulary in 1996 and has spent much of his service in the Neighbourhood Policing Departments in the Cotswolds and Stroud districts. He has lived in the Cotswolds for most of his life and loves it here. Garret leads team 1 and enjoys the opportunities to solve problems and improve quality of life issues that come with community policing.
I joined Gloucestershire Constabulary in 2019 as a Special Constable, starting my policing career in Stroud. In March 2022, I became a full time Police Constable and have completed the police degree programme. Since then I have worked in Stroud, Cirencester and in the force triage team before becoming a Neighbourhood Officer. I absolutely love my job and take pride in engaging with the local community, working with partner agencies, and helping to keep our communities safe.
