As an accomplished Specialist Investigator and Trainer, I have led teams internationally on investigation training and standards. I have led complex investigations within law enforcement and recently spent time in high risk environments to train police forces in criminal investigation. I have had a long career within the police service where I led major criminal investigations into murder, kidnap, extortion, human trafficking, and child sexual exploitation. Throughout my career, I have led investigations and worked alongside national law enforcement agencies and police forces. I have presented evidence in court, handled investigations, and navigated complex court proceedings with Barristers and QCs (now KCs). I have worked with intelligence agencies and as a family liaison officer while also leading on public protection and criminal investigation cases. I have also acted as a consultant on international training contracts including the training of investigators in Libya and Somalia. Most recently, I have worked with the British Embassy to provide training and mentoring to the Police Force and Counter Terrorism Officers in an East African country. I have delivered training through classroom and practical activities as well as embedded practices, governance, and procedures. I also recently provided specialists advice and support to the Independent Office for Police Conduct on death and serious injury after Police Contact investigations. I have worked with senior investigating officers (SIOs) as well as the National Crown Prosecution Service and HM Coroners to improve investigative procedures. I also continue to conduct investigations regarding allegations relating to safeguarding in sport. I have prepared reports, reviewed evidence, and provided detailed briefings as part of investigations and case reviews into policing conduct and standards. I work well internationally through building long term relationships and adapting to the environment quickly and effectively including factoring in cultural and procedural differences.I am a former professional Rugby player with Aberavon, Bristol and Bridgend and a Level 2 qualified WRU Coach. I have also represented The British Police in Rugby and Cricket, played for and Captained Cardiff Cricket Club to back-to-back Welsh Cup victories, represented Wales at Minor Counties Level in cricket and played for Glamorgan 2nd XI.
