Former senior Police Detective and Director of an Animal Welfare Organisation, now working to prevent animal abuse internationally.
Current projects include; 1. Offering Law Enforcement and NGO training on the link between animal and human violence and why dealing with animal crime matters. 2. Investigating and training about the underground world of dog fighting.
A career of innovative policing, from challenging traditional approaches on border security and undercover policing, has allowed me help tackle animal abuse from a unique angle. Now with an extensive knowledge of how animal NGOs work internationally, I can often find a middle way of collaborative working that benefits animals, and the humans caught up in the violence – and the strategic aims of Law Enforcement and the NGOs.
