Plane crash in Ahmedabad
The UK is working with local authorities in India to urgently establish the facts and provide support to those involved.
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.
Sergeant Susan Malkinson has served with Wiltshire Police for over a decade, beginning her policing journey as a Special Constable before becoming a full-time Police Constable in 2016.
Much of Susan’s career has been spent as a Response Officer in the south of the county, gaining a wealth of frontline experience. In 2022, she joined the Salisbury Neighbourhood Policing Team as a Police Constable and was promoted in post to Sergeant the following year.
Passionate about problem solving and making a tangible difference in local communities, Susan describes her current role as the most rewarding of her career. 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.
PC Hannah Cranham has been with Wiltshire Police for six years, initially serving as a Police Community Support Officer before qualifying as a Police Constable. She currently covers the Harnham and Southampton Road area of Salisbury.
In 2023, Hannah successfully completed the Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship, which reinforced the value of collaborative, multi-agency working. She brings this approach to her neighbourhood policing role, actively engaging with partner organisations to develop effective, long-term solutions for the local community.
Dedicated, professional, and community-focused, Hannah is committed to building strong relationships and delivering a responsive service to those she serves.
PCSO Charlotte King has been serving with Wiltshire Police for two years. She began her policing career in the City Centre before taking on her current role, covering the communities of Harnham, Wilton, and Wilton Rural.
With a strong background in education, Charlotte spent 16 years supporting children and young people. This experience inspired her to pursue a role where she could make a broader impact, using her skills and knowledge to support individuals across all walks of life.
Charlotte is known for her calm, thoughtful approach to problem-solving and is committed to finding long-term, sustainable solutions for the communities she serves. Her passion for helping others and dedication to community engagement make her a valued and approachable presence in her policing areas.
