POLICE DETAILS
Durham Constabulary - Durham (Durham City) Neighbourhood

I am a Police Community Support Officer and have worked all my career so far in Durham City. I love being able to get out and about within the community, supporting the local businesses and members of the public who visit. I am known on the team as the ‘MISPER QUEEN’ and seem to have a knack of being in the right place at the right time to find missing people. I am also the point of contact for our Sentrysis scheme which enables evidence to be provided directly to the Police via digital means.

I am a Police Community Support Officer and joined the team with Abigail. I am always out in the City and love nothing more than interacting with the public and supporting those people who want to come and enjoy our wonderful City. I am the point of contact for our shop watch scheme and am lucky to have some fantastic and supportive businesses in the City who help me reduce shop-thefts and related offences.

I am the Sergeant in charge of the City Centre neighbourhood team. Working in the community is in my blood, having come through as a Police Community Support Officer in South Moor at Stanley, before becoming a Police Constable working various response and neighbourhood roles across the county. Upon promotion to Sergeant I was based in Custody but have been in post here for the last 2 and a half years. I am lucky to have some great partner agencies and support services to call on to assist the team and I in reducing crime and anti-social behaviour in the City.

I am a Police Inspector with around 29 year's service, all with Durham Constabulary.
I came to the Durham City Neighbourhood role over three years ago, following a period as Force Incident Manager and Tactical Firearms Commander. in the Force Control Room.
I spent many years in Stanley as a Neighbourhood Policing Sergeant, where I listened to community concerns and worked in partnership with other organisations to reduce crime and antisocial behavior.
I am committed to Durham City and I ensure my teams are proactive, using innovation and problem solving to make Durham a better place to live, work and visit.

If you have any issues you would like to discuss please feel free to contact me.

I am a Police Constable and am new to the Neighbourhood Team in the City, having recently moved across from another front-line role. I previously worked for the ambulance service as an emergency care assistant and am looking forward to being able to bring vital medical experience with me to my new position and help keep people safe in Durham City.

I am a Police Constable with over 24 years’ experience in front line roles. I have been part of the Neighbourhood Team around Durham City for over 12 years. I love learning new skills in the Police and am trained in the Police Support Unit (PSU), method of entry and search team. I am a dedicated football officer, protest removal officer and trained to deal with chemical-biological-radioactive and nuclear incidents.

I am a Police Constable with a little over 6 and a half years’ service. I am the force elected advisor for both Operation Ford and Operation Bridger. I joined my current post last year to work alongside the neighbourhood teams and assist Dan and his team with using available legislation to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour in the city. Teamwork makes the dreamwork and I have been prominent in the successful application of 17 criminal behaviour orders, which stops the most prolific offenders from being able to spoil the city for others.

I am a Police Constable with over 17 years’ service having spent all of my career in front line roles, primarily response Policing and currently as part of the neighbourhood policing team. I have been part of the beat team here in the City since 2019. I enjoy the investigative side of Policing and I am in my element tracking down and identifying criminals through digital and forensic analysis. I am trained to support custody roles when required and am also one of the forces operational football officers.

I am a Police Community Support Officer and have worked in a variety of roles in Durham Constabulary over the last 2 decades. I absolutely adore working here and enjoy getting into local schools, speaking to, educating and helping young people. I am the longest serving member of the team and know pretty much all there about City life, having built up a fantastic working knowledge and contact book over the years.

Hi I'm Mike Ashurst and I'm a Police Constable on Durham City Neighbourhood team.
I started my career as a PCSO in the City, As I previously worked in the retail trade myself, I was keen to help the shops and businesses with the issues they were having and keeping the shop staff safe.
I'm known for my enthusiasm and was delighted to be commended for my work in the city by the City Of Durham Parish Council.
I felt as if I could do an even better job for the people of Durham by joining as a warranted Police Officer, beginning my training as a Student Police Officer working with a response team.
Crime prevention and problem solving was always my forte and I yearned to return to Durham City, where I feel at home.
My dream came true in autumn 2025 and I took my place as one of six dedicated police officers protecting our fabulous city.

Hi I'm Rachael.
I recently joined Durham Police as a Student Police Officer and worked on a response policing team, before I moved to Durham City Neighbourhood Policing Team as part of the National Neighbourhood Policing Plan.
I hope to make a difference in the city by tackling business crime, antisocial behavior and crime.

I am a police constable with 23 years’ service having spent all my career in front line roles. I joined the force in 2002 and then spent the next 16 years as a response officer working the Derwentside area of the county. I moved to the City beat team around 7 years ago. The city is a fantastic but challenging place to work and I enjoy the variety in policing it gives me. I am trained in initial pursuit tactics and am the go-to guy in the office for all things traffic related.

I am Durham City’s newest PCSO. After following the footsteps of my family in the police service, I couldn’t wait to join the team to police the city centre, making it a nicer place for people to work, live and visit. You will frequently see me in the area so please do not hesitate to approach me to say hello, or to raise any community issues or concerns you have.
