Bringing a wealth of experience to the role, she supports her team in tackling crime, reducing anti-social behaviour, and safeguarding the most vulnerable.

Sergeant Lisa Lovatt joined Wiltshire Police in January 1998 and has proudly spent her entire policing career serving the Salisbury community.

Over the past 27 years, she has taken on a wide range of roles including working on the Forensic Conversion Team, Burglary Team, Crime Squad, Drugs Squads and Local Tasking Teams. Despite this variety, her passion has always remained with local and response policing - the role she dreamed of as a child.

Lisa became the Neighbourhood Policing Team Sergeant for Salisbury in December 2019, a position she finds incredibly rewarding. She is committed to completing her 30-year policing career in this role, working alongside a dedicated team of colleagues and partner agencies, all striving toward a shared goal: to support communities and deliver an outstanding service to victims.

She considers herself fortunate to be doing the job she always aspired to—serving the public in a beautiful part of the world, alongside a dedicated and supportive team.
