Environmental enforcement newsletter - January 2025

Environmental crime officer

We have a new specialist role within the team. Shaun Staveley has been promoted to Environmental Crime Officer. The role encompasses working alongside both Environmental Enforcement Officers and the Environmental Protection team. This hybrid role involves investigating complex flytipping cases and environmental protection cases, such as commercial waste, instances of burning waste that creates dark smoke, duty of care, cases of contaminated land and also nuisance complaints such as noise, light, dust, air quality and odour.

This specialist role hinges the teams together to allow us to pro-actively tackle environmental crime across our district, pulling together our patrol teams and Environmental Protection specialists.
