Inspector Wiggin is responsible for the Stratford District, North Warwickshire and the Rural Crime Team. In the past, Insp Wiggin has worked in the Leamington Safer Neighbourhood Team and a reactive policing role. Insp Wiggin has vast amount of experience working in neighbourhood policing and is committed to making the district's a safe place to live, work and visit.

I joined Warwickshire Police in 1992 and I have been in front line uniform policing virtually ever since. I was promoted to Sergeant in 2003 whilst working at Leamington. I'm currently the Sergeant for the Alcester North, South and Shipston Safer Neighbourhood Teams. I am a trained wildlife officer and enjoy all aspects of rural Policing. 

I joined Warwickshire Police in 2004 and initially worked with the Stratford Town Safer Neighbourhood Team before moving to reactive work where I dealt with 999 calls until 2012. In August 2012 I was successful in my application to become the Southam Safer Neighbourhood Team Beat Manager. During my time in Southam I learnt how to manage a Policing area and bring ongoing disputes to a resolution. In September 2013 my request to transfer to the Shipston Safer Neighbourhood Team was successful and I am pleased to be working an area that I always known and enjoyed during my Police career.

Emma is currently working at Shipston SNT, and has been working in Shipston since October 2013. She enjoys the challenges and initiatives that working on a rural area has to offer. Since at Shipston, she has worked with Trading Standards to prevent and inform residents of scams. She has also enjoyed organising workshops at Shipston Youth Club talking about current issues such as cyber crime and alcohol that many young people encounter. Emma has five years of town PCSO experience working in Warwick and previous careers have included Secondary Technology Teacher. She hopes to make a difference with community involvement and getting to know the community in order to prevent anti-social behaviour and crime.

I joined Warwickshire Police in October 2018. I initially covered the Alcester South area before joining Shipston-On-Stour Safer Neighbourhood Team. Previously, I worked in the fitness industry as a personal trainer for four years; however I wanted a new challenging career and joined Warwickshire Police as a Community Support Officer. I'm looking forward to meeting and engaging with members of the community and helping to create a safer neighbourhood. I have aspirations of becoming a Police Constable.

I have spent most of my working life in electrical wholesaling although enjoyed a short spell with the Fire Service and a Town Clerk role before retiring. I have always found it enjoyable working voluntarily, which in the past has largely been within a sporting environment, and I also enjoy being busy. After seeing an advertisement for volunteers to become involved with the Warwickshire Police and having been selected I now look forward to assisting the Shipston Team in an administrative capacity.
