St Andrews

Community Officers

PC 594 John Macleod

I joined Fife Constabulary in 2001 after serving 16 years in the RAF, which included being a member of both RAF Leuchars and RAF Kinloss Mountain Rescue Teams. Although being brought up in Glasgow, Fife has been my home since 1986.

So far, my career with Fife Constabulary has seen me working at all the stations in North East Fife, although a majority of my service has been spent at St Andrews. Since 2007, I have been attached to the Community Team at St Andrews and you may have even seen me out and about on my bike during school lunch times, educating school pupils or patrolling the golf course during the Dunhill Golf Championships.

St Andrews has a large student population, which in turn is replaced during the summer months by visitors and tourists. This results in a diverse and mixed population which, when brought together, creates opportunities and challenges which sometimes requires closer engagement with the local community. To that end, I am looking forward to working with the residents of St Andrews to identify and address any local issues that may concern you.

PC 537 Tamantha Campbell

I joined Fife Constabulary in 1990. I was previously stationed at Dunfermline and Anstruther. This is my second posting to St Andrews. In October 2008 I took up the post of community constable for the Town Centre. I live in the North East Fife area.
