I am a lecturer in the School of Law, Policing & Forensics having spent my career as a police officer with Merseyside Police. After qualifying as a police trainer I was seconded to the regional police training centres at Bruche in the North West of England and at the Lancashire Constabulary training centre at Hutton Hall where I delivered foundation training to newly appointed officers across a number of police forces.
After returning from secondment I was a member of the team responsible for the Initial Police Learning & Development Programme. During my time at the Merseyside Police training academy I was also responsible for the development and delivery the force’s leadership training programmes.
Whilst still serving as a Police Officer I undertook the role of external (practitioner) advisor for the validation of the Liverpool John Moores University PCDA BSc (Hons) Professional Policing Practice.
After retiring from Merseyside Police I joined the lecturing team at the Institute of Policing in February 2021.
