New police boss sets out priorities
AYLESBURY’S new police boss says her big priorities will be to tackle anti-social behaviour, metal thefts and burglaries.
Neighbourhood Inspector Kelly Glister has just taken over the town’s top job from Omar Abu-rish and is now in charge of all policing, licensing, CCTV and counter terrorism measures.
The more than 50 staff who report directly to her must call her Ma’am, but for members of the community the personable mum-of-two is happy to be called Kelly.
She said: “I introduced myself on the police community messaging service. I did have a few replies, which was nice, groups inviting me to come and meet them and see what they do. It was evident that people don’t know how to address me. I am happy for members of the community to call me Kelly.”
She has worked in Thames Valley Police for 16 years and spent the last eight months as an acting detective inspector in Milton Keynes. The Vale resident’s background is in protecting the vulnerable. In the past she has worked on child abuse and domestic abuse cases.
One of her first priorities will be to meet community leaders in the town. She also plans to attend neighbourhood action group meetings, have your say events and accompany PCSO’s in school playgrounds – although stresses that she ‘will have to find a balance’ in addition to her other duties.

Thursday, March 1, 2012 at 07:57 AMHow about starting with a more accessible website? Apparently, we have a local neighbourhood officer - who he\she is and how we contact them is anyone's guess. I don't want to ring the emergency or non-emergency number just for that information.
