Corinne Brazier

Corinne has worked for West Midlands Police in different roles since 2005. Originally a Criminal Records Bureau Vetting Clerk, before becoming a DNA administrator, Corinne became the force’s first Records Manager in 2007, developing retention policies, data quality tools and setting up the Information Assurance Team. In 2015 she began volunteering for the force’s museum, taking an interest in historic records and digitisation. After becoming a Demand Champion in 2016, supporting the Estates Department to manage the force’s buildings, Corinne was naturally involved in trying to identify a new home for the museum when it was announced its old home would be sold.

From 2017 Corinne was working full-time on the force’s heritage project, identifying a new home for the museum and securing funding to deliver its relocation and transformation. In 2020 a new role of Heritage Manager was created to manage the museum permanently and Corinne was successful in securing this role. The West Midlands Police Museum re-opened at its new permanent location in April 2022.

Since 2021 Corinne has also been managing the NPCC Police Heritage portfolio on behalf of the national police heritage lead, firstly CC Dave Thompson and lately Commercial Director Pete Gillett, both of West Midlands Police.
