Thurrock District
Welcome to the Thurrock district web page.

District commander update
I have taken over as Thurrock district commander after Chief
Insp Paul Moor moved on from the post. He has been selected to
lead a specialist team at Essex Police Headquarters and use his
knowledge of automatic numberplate recognition (ANPR) to help
Essex improve its use of technology on the road.

I have previously acted up in this role, and would like to
reassure residents that I bring with me a wealth of knowledge
of the area, having served for the last two years as neighbourhood
inspector for the South Ockendon, South West Thurrock and Aveley
areas.
We are continually reducing crime across Thurrock and I hope to
further the successes of the past few years. For me, the residents
of Thurrock are at the heart of what we do and I have dedicated
neighbourhood policing teams across the district that work very
hard to keep your area safe.
I never lose sight of the fact that what we do can have an
impact on people’s lives which is why I will ensure that my
officers go the extra mile to help keep this area safe.
We need you, the resident, to make sure that you speak to us so
that the issues that matter most to you can be addressed by my
team. There is a list of events on every ward page on this website,
so see when we will next be in your area and come and chat to your
local officer so you get your voice heard.
