Community Officers

PC 990 Grant Ogilvie

I joined Fife Constabulary in May 2003. Following a two-year period stationed at Cupar, I was transferred to Newport-on-Tay. Having spent the last four years covering the Newport beat area I feel I will be well placed in my new role as Community Officer, having a good working knowledge of the local area, its residents and the issues which require attention.
