Annie Foxall

I am a lecturer with a history of teaching across Policing as well as Criminology. I began my career within Further Education and then moved into Higher Education, specialising in delivering Criminology via distance learning.

I accepted a position within West Midlands Police as a Uniform Training Officer and spent a year there working with student officers in the first fifteen weeks of their training before coming to Staffordshire University.

Since the age of 18, I have been volunteering in various positions. The most relevant of these being a Circles volunteer for the Lucy Faithfull Foundation and I am currently a volunteer for Rape Crisis as well as the volunteer representative for the bank of volunteers used, raising issues and concerns as well as supporting and helping to deliver training.

I am currently training to be a Special Constable for West Midlands Police which is enabling me to combine my academic experience, my voluntary experience and gain front-line experience to better understand the role of the student officer.
