Neighbourhood Officer Details

+
Andy Wiseman (Ch/Insp)

It has been an honour and privilege to step into the role of Chief Inspector for Watford, as from Monday 9th January 2023.
My policing career started at Watford twenty-three years ago, when he joined the Hertfordshire Special Constabulary as a teenager. I have very fond memories of my time as a Special Constable based at Shady Lane. I found volunteering as a police officer immensely rewarding and I learnt a whole range of life skills which have stayed with me ever since. I knew very quickly that policing was the career for me.
I became a regular office in 2003 and have undertaken a number of roles at Watford in the intervening years. Prior to my return to Watford at the start of 2023, I was the Safer Neighbourhood Team Inspector at St Albans for four years. My passion is still very much neighbourhood policing, which I firmly believe the public want to see more of. It's important to me that we know our communities and that they know us. Even in 2023, the basic idea that the police are the public and the public are the police, still underpins everything we do. Successful policing relies on the public working with us and sharing information.
I am particularly looking forward to building new relationships with communities and partner agencies. My initial priorities include tackling anti-social behaviour hotspots and street robberies. I also look forward to overseeing the transition from Shady Lane to our new police station in George Street.
