Detective Chief Inspector Graham Horton, Thames Valley Police

"I have worked with Craig since 2019 in my capacity as a temporary Detective Chief Inspector and as Neighbourhood Problem Solving Inspector on the Aylesbury Local Police Area (LPA)

The partnership work that Craig has been involved in, both with our neighbourhood teams and the wider LPA has been outstanding. Craig has been commended with an LPA Commanders Commendation for this work supporting our LPA. I have always found Craig to be professional and trustworthy

Craig has been instrumental in our LPA’s use of civil legislation to target perpetrators of crime. With the help of Craig my team have developed the use of this legislation, targeting criminals that are causing most harm to our communities. Of note we have been able to target a repeat perpetrator of domestic violence, where the victim was not supporting police action. This was the first time that this legislation has been used in this way by our force, and we were able to secure a lengthy custodial sentence for a breach of the order, and therefore safeguarding the victim.

I am very grateful for Craig’s professionalism and his ongoing help and support protecting the communities of Aylesbury Vale".
