She has spearheaded innovative development by integrating operational and organisational planning using the National Intelligence Model (NIM).

Siobhan has recently taken on the role of Acting Assistant Director and Head of Business Development. Colleagues say it is a testament to her flexibility and commitment that she has adapted effortlessly to her new and more challenging role. South Wales Police consists of 5000 people covering a vast area – serving 1.2 million people; 46% of the Welsh population. Siobhan has overcome resistance from within her own department to changes, convinced Chief Officers the new approach would deliver improvements and finally implement the changes across the whole force. Siobhan has demonstrated first class interpersonal, negotiating and team working skills in order to achieve her objectives resulting in performance improvements across the board. A professional and inspirational leader she has been at the forefront of change and has worked with energy, vigour and sensitivity.
