"It's very interesting work and I've dealt with everything from abandoned cars to neighbour issues, school talks to crime prevention events and foot patrols.

"There are also numerous staff networks available to offer advice and support too, plus they are family-friendly regarding work-life balance, I really feel we are cared about."
