POLICE DETAILS
Wiltshire Police - Tisbury Neighbourhood

Inspector Lou Oakley is the current Neighbourhood Inspector for Warminster, overseeing the Warminster Neighbourhood Policing Team which covers the areas of Warminster, Westbury, Mere and Tisbury. She has been in post for over 15 months and brings 19 years of policing experience to the role.

Lou began her career with Wiltshire Police in 2006 as a Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) and has since worked across a range of departments including response policing, neighbourhood policing, and the Public Support Unit (PSU), where she was trained to an advanced tactical level in public order and riot control.

Her passion lies in frontline policing and she is committed to identifying and addressing the root causes of criminality. Lou believes this approach plays a key role in building trust and confidence within local communities.

Recognising that policing is most effective when delivered in partnership, she works closely with other agencies to pursue long-term problem-solving strategies. Under her leadership, the team’s current priorities – based on community feedback, crime data and demand - include youth-related anti-social behaviour, shoplifting, and rural crime

Sergeant Lyndsey Smith began her policing career in 2004 after leaving the Armed Forces. Throughout her career, she has remained on the front line, working operationally across the south of the county, including roles in Marlborough, Tidworth, Salisbury, and Amesbury.

Promoted towards the end of 2023, Lyndsey joined the Warminster Neighbourhood Policing Team in January 2025. New to the role but bringing extensive experience, she is focused on strengthening partnerships and enhancing community engagement, with a particular emphasis on tackling anti-social behaviour and retail crime.

PCSO Stewart Hunt is a Police Community Support Officer serving the rural communities of Mere and Tisbury as part of the local Neighbourhood Policing Team.

Stewart is a familiar and trusted presence across the villages he covers, working hard to build strong relationships with residents, community groups and local partners.

With a focus on visibility, reassurance, and early intervention, Stewart supports efforts to tackle issues such as rural crime, anti-social behaviour, and vulnerability.

He regularly attends local events, visits schools and community hubs and is proactive in addressing the concerns that matter most to the people of Mere and Tisbury.
