It is a pleasure to introduce a guest blogger this morning. He has recently moved into our community and I am deligted to welcome him here on the blog. I'll let him introduce himself.
Hello Hello Hello. Who's this then?
Let me introduce myself properly. My name is Paul O'Reilly and I been a police officer for nearly 22 years. I had spent the majority of my career policing South Birmingham before I moved across to Chelmsley Wood in 2005. After twelve months of varying roles, I started a four-year stint as neighbourhood sergeant for Castle Bromwich before I moved into the Council House in 2010 where I worked within the Safer Solihull Partnership.
On 1st June 2011, I returned to my passion - neighbourhood policing - when I was awarded the post of sergeant on the Shirley West and East Neighbourhood Policing Team following the Continuous Improvement Programme changes to policing in Solihull Local Policing Unit. I look forward to meeting as many of my constituents as possible during my term here, under the right circumstances of course!
The team and I are based at Shirley Police Station, next to Morrison's Supermarket, on the Stratford Road. We can be contacted via email to shirleywestandeast@west-midlands.pnn.police.uk or via telephone on 0345 113 5000 extension 7928 6231.
You can also follow me via Twitter @SgtWestMidsPol or read my blogs at sgtwestmidspol.wordpress.com
The team also have an official page on the West Midlands Police website at http://www.west-midlands.police.uk/np/solihull/
If you see team or I while you are out and about, please feel free to say hi.
Have a happy and safe summer.
Best wishes
Sergeant Paul O'Reilly
