INTRODUCING TWO NEW POLICE COMMUNITY SUPPORT OFFICERS FOR THE DAVENTRY DISTRICT NEIGHBOURHOOD POLICING TEAM

I’m delighted to share what I hope will be good news, particularly with our rural communities, about two new arrivals on the Daventry Neighbourhood Policing Team. Both PCSOs will be working on our rural teams and are warmly welcomed as they bring a wealth of experience of policing to fill one vacancy created by the retirement of Paul Harris earlier in the year, and another vacancy which we have carried for longer than I would have liked.

PCSO 7017 PAUL MILLER [email protected]

A resident of the Borough of Northampton, Paul transfers to us from the rural beats of Kettering and Corby, where he has been working from the Desborough police office. He was a sponsored officer for Kettering Borough in his earlier days, has worked briefly on the south-west sector of Northampton and has been a PCSO for fifteen years. He has completed 23 years in public service, having served for eight years as a prison officer at HMP Wood Hill, working with the prison’s most challenging inmates in this high-security environment.

Paul is a keen Rugby enthusiast having played in forward positions for the Men’s Own Rugby Team as well as for the police and the prison service at local and national level. Paul will be based at the police office at Brixworth with a specific posting and set of responsibilities, of which more details will follow in due course, when he starts formally at the beginning of September.

PCSO 7065 Craig Egdell [email protected]

A resident on the Daventry rural patch, Craig joins us from Northampton town’s South-West policing team, having already spent 12 years as a PCSO in the force including being a part- sponsored officer to Hunsbury and Wootton. Prior to joining the police family, he was a camera shop manager in Northampton following an earlier career in the pubs, food and beverage business in London. Craig will be based at Daventry covering the rural south villages, working alongside PCSO Kev Thompson (who is, unfortunately, currently incapacitated).
