  Essex Police

  Sept 2017 - Mar 2022

  Having served as a uniformed Police Officer with Essex Police I retired, having spent my last 4 months as the "temporary" Chief Inspector at Stansted Airport.I then re-joined Essex Police in a new position at Stansted Airport which was created in anticipation of the expansion of the airport which will culminate in a new passenger terminal and at least one multi-storey car park.This role concentrates on physical security but also looks at security systems. I represent Essex Police at meetings, providing a permanent link between the Stansted Transformation Programme team and Essex Police. I provide operational knowledge and expertise which informs the requirements for the police infrastructure to support operations at Stansted. I also influence the design of the new buildings which will help reduce the opportunity for crime and disorder.The CTSSC role is varied and includes a strategic over-sight of the local Plane Watch group and Community Liaison with the local villages around the airport.It also encompasses the support of the Essex Police Drone team at the airport which requires the purchase of the various equipment and assistance in the development of tac-tics to counter the illegal use of UAV's in the airport environment. The role demands significant "Continued Professional Development" and has entailed attending courses in Designing out Crime and Crime Prevention as well as various CPNI courses which concentrate on physical security. Having qualified as a Disruptive Effects Tactical Commander (DeTaC) I also support the Essex Police Project Servator deployments at Stansted - this includes the poster campaign and proactive media engagement. I also lead projects on the development of the Police infrastructure to deal with significant CT security incidents at London-Stansted which requires working with government and securing funding to enable the improvement of equipment and facilities.
