New police officer for Belper, Duffield, Quarndon, Kilburn, Heage and the surrounding areas
A new police officer has become the latest face on the streets of Belper, Duffield, Holloway, Quarndon, Kirk Langley, Heage, Ambergate and the surrounding areas.
PC Garry Statham, has 17 years’ experience as a police officer, and during his career has worked on the response and investigation teams in Ripley, Bolsover and Staveley.
He is also not a stranger to neighbourhood policing, having spent time on the Safer Neighbourhood teams in the Shirebrook and Creswell areas, and most recently from the team in the Heanor and Shipley areas which was nominated for our Safer Neighbourhood team of the year award this year.
He enjoys photography and boxing, and taking his two year old Beagle dog, called Teddy, out for walks.
PC Statham said: “I’ve spent the majority of my career in frontline roles, in response and on neighbourhood teams. Since moving to the role in Belper, I’ve been spending time getting to know the local community and the area, and also finding out about local concerns and issues.
“Being part of a neighbourhood team is all about engaging with our communities, finding longer term solutions to local priorities and helping to prevent crime, and I will be working alongside my colleagues to achieve.”
