Sgt Simon Tennant
Welcome to the Ottery 'Rural' policing website. My name is Simon Tennant and I have been a police officer for 28 years. I grew up, went to school and have lived most of my life in Ottery's policing area. It is a safe and beautiful part of the world to live and I hope with your help, and the hard work of the officers and staff shown within this website that it will long continue to remain so. If you have any concerns, or think I can help in any way please do not hesitate to contact me at
simon.tennant@devonandcornwall.pnn.police.uk or if you prefer one of the officers within our team.
