Superintendent Cunningham brings almost 20 years of policing experience to the top post, having previously held leadership roles across a range of policing areas, including Business Crime, Road Safety and Local and Neighbourhood Policing.

Throughout his career, he has also contributed to regional, UK and island-wide policing networks, capturing and sharing best practice, driving operational effectiveness, and pioneering workforce development, specifically in the area of business crime.

I have been getting to know the district and the officers who serve here, and I have been very, very impressed by everyone I've met and their commitment to making a real difference in their local communities.

We have diverse communities here in Fermanagh and Omagh, across both rural and urban settings, and I look forward to getting out and meeting local people, partners and community organisations and to working strategically with them to address those areas of concern that impact local people the most."

PCSP chairperson Cllr Thomas O'Reilly commented: "I welcome Supt Cunningham to the district and I look forward to working with him and his team to address issues in the district."

Superintendent Cunningham concluded: "It is a privilege to be able to serve the people of Fermanagh and Omagh as their new District Commander and I hope to do so with clarity and accountability, and by enabling my teams to innovate and continue to deliver high quality policing service that is visible, accessible and responsive to the unique needs of local people."
