New Inspector about to take over at Charnwood Local Policing Unit
Posted on 12/02/09
New Inspector about to take over at Charnwood Local Policing Unit
Inspector Duncan Southall
A new Inspector is taking over at Charnwood Local Policing Unit.
Inspector Duncan Southall joined Leicestershire Constabulary in December 1998 and worked as a General Duties Officer (GDO) and Beat Officer (PBO) in Coalville until 2001 when he became a Sergeant and worked in a variety of roles at Loughborough, Ashby and Coalville. He transferred to the city as a Shift Sergeant in September 2006 and became a Citizen Focus Sergeant at Spinney Hill Local Policing Unit in February 2007. He was promoted to Acting Inspector in January 2008 and worked as an Operational Command Inspector, directing resources and responding to priority incidents across the city, before transferring back to the North Area in November 2008.
On February 23rd 2009, he will take over from Inspector Cathy Yallop, who has led policing in Charnwood since 2005. Inspector Yallop will become an Operational Command Inspector for the North Area.
Inspector Southall said; "I am really looking forward to working with the policing teams at Syston and Quorn and building on the good work, and many strong partnerships, that already exist across the Charnwood area.
"I am particularly keen to work with individuals and groups from the communities we serve to tackle those people who commit crime and whose behaviour adversely affects the quality of life of local residents. One of my priorities will be to make sure our resources are targeted effectively to tackle the issues that are important to the people who live in our communities. The key to this is effective communication and making ourselves accessible to everyone, in other words responding to what you tell us."
"Customer satisfaction and confidence are also very important to me. These two issues are going to be key ones for the police in the next five years and I want to make sure that people who come into contact with Police officers and Police Community Support Officers from Charnwood are pleased with the service they receive."
"If you have any issues at all please do not hesitate to contact me by phone, email or letter."
Inspector Cathy Yallop said; "Implementing Neighbourhood Policing across the South Charnwood area has been one of the most satisfying aspects of my work at the LPU. I have enjoyed my time at the LPU and would like to thank colleagues and local communities for their support"
Inspector Southall lives in North West Leicestershire, is married and has two children.
