Tetbury

I began my policing career fresh out of university, in Nottinghamshire. It’s the best job in the world so I’ve stayed for 27 years and counting! I transferred to Gloucestershire at the start of 2025, and am responsible for the neighbourhood policing team that covers the Cotswolds.

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 2022, I have worked within the Reactive Investigation Team before joining Cotswold Neighbourhood Policing Team. I am the Beat Manager for the Tetbury and the Rural South communities. I enjoy the variety of my role which allows me to work with a range of people to solve or assist with community issues.

I have been a Police Officer since 2009 spending my entire service policing in the Cotswolds. I have also lived in the Cotswolds for most of my life and I do love it.
I was fortunate to be part of the Schoolbeat team since it started in 2018, and in 2025 we developed into Youth Engagement Officers, and I still cover the Cotswolds area!
I thoroughly enjoy the role, the positive relationships with youths that have been built we are developing further, and I remain fully motivated for this new varied challenge.
I strongly believe that we are breaking down barriers and gaining the trust and respect of the young people in our communities.

I am the local PCSO in the Cotswolds Neighbourhood Policing Team. I have 4 years’ experience. I joined to help build a relationship between the constabulary and the local community I’m proud to be part of a dedicated and passionate team committed to making a real difference in our communities. I have a strong passion for rural policing and the unique challenges it brings.
