Message from New Local Area Commander
I am honoured to have been appointed as the Local Area Commander for Perth & Kinross. I have previously led teams in Community Policing, Professional Standards and most recently Divisional Roads Policing based in Tayside where I oversaw Road Safety for the Division.
