The UK is working with local authorities in India to urgently establish the facts and provide support to those involved.
Inspector Gavin Brewster leads the Amesbury Neighbourhood Policing Team, having joined the role on 1 January 2025.
He transitioned into this position from the County Duty Inspector team on Response, where he served for 18 months.
With over 28 years of service in Wiltshire Police, Gavin has spent his entire career in frontline uniform policing. He began as a PC in Swindon, working in both Response and Neighbourhood Teams, before spending approximately 15 years in Roads Policing and Road Safety.
He later returned to local policing, working on Response in Trowbridge and Chippenham, followed by a position as a Neighbourhood Sergeant in Chippenham.
Now overseeing the Amesbury NPT area, Gavin is embracing the opportunity to lead his team, build strong relationships with local communities and work collaboratively with partner agencies to address local priorities and improve safety across the area.
Sergeant Caroline Ralph has been a Police Officer with Wiltshire Police for 12 years, gaining extensive experience across both Response and Investigation teams. Since 2021, she has focused her work within Neighbourhood Policing and in 2023 took on the role of Sergeant for the Amesbury Neighbourhood Team (NPT).
Caroline leads a dedicated team of five Police Constables and five Police Community Support Officers, each responsible for specific geographical areas. She oversees their work, providing support for community engagement and collaboration with partner agencies.
A significant part of Sergeant Ralph’s role involves long-term problem solving and working closely with key local organisations, including the military, schools, Wiltshire Council, and town and parish councils. Her leadership ensures that the Amesbury NPT delivers effective, community-focused policing tailored to meet the needs of the area.

Bethany began her policing career in 2014 in the Crime and Communications Centre, where she handled 999 and 101 calls. In 2017, she became a Police Constable and spent seven years in Response Policing - primarily in Trowbridge, though her first 18 months were in Amesbury. In 2024, she returned to the Amesbury area to join the Neighbourhood Team.
She is Taser-trained, response-qualified, and holds the EDIT (drug testing) accreditation. Bethany has a strong interest in roads policing and tackling local issues related to drug activity. She enjoys engaging with the community, attending local events, and working collaboratively with military partners and other agencies to resolve issues on her patch - something she finds particularly rewarding.
PCSO Levi Morphy has been a valued member of the Amesbury Neighbourhood Policing Team for the past 10 years, previously covering areas including Amesbury Town, Amesbury Rural, Ludgershall, and Tidworth. For the last two years, she has focused her work in the communities of Durrington, Larkhill, Bulford, and Figheldean.
Levi is passionate about community engagement and places a strong emphasis on building relationships, particularly with local schools. She makes use of remote working to remain accessible across her patch and regularly carries out foot patrols to maintain a visible presence within the community.
Working closely with her Beat Area colleague, PC Collins, PCSO Morphy is dedicated to tackling long-term issues and supporting those affected by crime. Her commitment to problem-solving and community-focused policing makes her a trusted and approachable figure in the areas she serves.
