Ian

Undercover Officer

I joined the Police in 1995 and soon got chosen to become an undercover officer which I did for over 20 years.

Initially going undercover as a ‘test purchase officer’ where I was deployed as a Heroin addict to target street dealers and then progressing to the role of a full time ‘Level 1’ Undercover officer to target drug gangs, murderers, firearms dealers and people traffickers.

I have lived as a criminal in some of the most notorious city’s in the world sometimes for years at a time putting my life on the line each time I was deployed.

I became one of the uk’s most successful ever undercover operatives taking part in many high profile cases which earned me the nickname of ‘The UK,S Donnie Brasco’.

In 2018 the work finally took its toll and I was retired from service having been diagnosed with Complex PTSD.
