Neighbourhood Officer Details
Following experience in business, advertising and teaching James joined West Mercia Police in 2002.
His career has been a mix of frontline operational policing interspersed with project work.
Working as a Patrol PC, Sergeant and Inspector with experience in interview teams and Safer Neighbourhoods Policing gave James the necessary experience to support the formation of the innovative alliance between Warwickshire Police and West Mercia Police as a Programme Manager for Local Policing. He also project managed West Mercia's early adoption of Body Worn Video.
James has acquired a breadth of operational experience including a period as Inspector in the Control Room covering both Warwickshire Police and West Mercia Police, with responsibility for dealing with spontaneous firearms incidents as a Tactical Firearm Commander. Subsequently he qualified as a cadre Tactical firearms commander, and deals with pre-planned deployments including warrants and royal visits.
A period of 12 months in the Staff Office, working for Chief Constable David Shaw and CC Anthony Bangham gave James the opportunity to gain a more strategic oversight of policing, including taking responsibility for the operational delivery of the national Use of Force recording work under the NPCC Conflict Management Portfolio.
James spent a period managing the Wyre Forest Safer Neighbourhood Team in North Worcestershire where he gained experience of managing SNTs. However, when the opportunity to support his own local area, by taking responsibility for the Herefordshire Rural Safer Neighbourhoods Team, James was keen to take this on and commenced the role in November 2017.

Priorities
| 8 Jan 2019 | Specifically, the most recent complaints have been with regards to Clehonger and Peterchurch. However we will consider action at most of our rural villages even without any complaints. Response (29 Jan 2019)Most recent complaints include speeding in Ewyas Harold along the straight entrance road into the village. Some enforcement has been conducted, but generally no offenders stopped. On going work with the local parish council to consider other speed reduction plans, such as gated entrance and or speed indicator signs. (28/07/2018) Speed enforcement in Peterchurch Village - 11th Sept 2017 - none exceeding the limit.......The main reason for this is that our presence soon deters any speeding motorists. From just being there, we create a deterrent for future offending, by being seen engaging in speed enforcement. Speed enforcement conducted in Clehonger Village 18th Aug 2017- following further concerns from the Parish Council re speeding on the B4349 and B4352. Most vehicles being driven within the limit. 2 Vehicles stopped and drivers warned.
Thursday 22nd June 2017 - Speed enforcement Peterchurch outside the primary school 08:30-09:30. One vehicle stopped and warned.
