#BleepKind was setup in February 2021, by two inspirational police officers, Jen & Carly to offer a peer support network for those required to complete the Bleep Test for their job role. This was following Jen & Carly’s own personal experiences and struggles when it came to the test. Both are full time police officers and Mums who wanted to create a safe place where people could come together and share their worries and concerns around the bleep test. Whether that be due to anxiety, injury, post-pregnancy conditions or any other reason, Jenn and Carly want people to know that they would not be judged but supported.

This is an inspirational episode. Which takes on the challenges of health and wellbeing.

For the last eight years of his career, he was a Chief Inspector and a key member of the Scottish Violence Reduction Unit. It was during this time that Graham was able to put right what had become an occurring issue for him during his policing career. Often, when interviewing people who had witnessed abuse and violence, Graham was met with the words, “I knew something was going to happen”.

Graham is a passionate advocate of the bystander approach to help develop personal and organisational leadership to help create safe and supportive learning environments, workplaces, and performance teams.

Empowering individuals within these settings to act, presents a great opportunity for any organisation, school, university, or sports team to maintain focus on values and goals. As they say the team that collectively is heading in the same direction will be the successful team.

Graham has delivered leadership and bystander prevention trainings in many different settings including high schools, bars and clubs, colleges, and universities, in communities, in workplaces, in prisons, with military and police and with professional and amateur sports in the UK, Sweden and in the United States.

Graham’s experience is much sought after, and he has previously supported delivery of trainings both in the public and private sector helping create safe and supportive workplace environments.

In addition to conducting bystander trainings, Graham has expert knowledge and experience in embedding violence prevention programmes within education and in local government. He has been able to build sustainable models for the longer term.

In recent years Graham has had the opportunity to support the US organisation MVP Strategies to deliver leadership and bystander trainings to Major League Baseball teams during their spring trainings in Arizona.

Graham has recently become a lead trainer with the US Active Bystander in Law Enforcement (ABLE) Programme training US police officers to help reduce misconduct, prevent mistakes, and support mental health. He also supports the US based organisation Heroes Intervene working in US correctional facilities.

Graham holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Criminal Justice Studies and a Certificate in Training from Napier University, Edinburgh.

Much of Graham’s service has focused on tackling serious and organised crime (SOC). As the MPS lead for SOC he has engaged with law enforcement partners across the globe, targeting the most complex, determined, and dangerous organised crime groups. His international work was recently rewarded by the US Embassy in December 2022, where he was presented with an award recognising his commitment to tackling crime globally. Graham has also led operations and initiatives tackling SOC in mainland Europe and the Middle East.

Graham has led on several high-profile national programs in his ten years as a chief officer. Most notably, the national lead for county lines, the trafficking of drugs across the UK, and the exploitation of vulnerable people. Graham’s innovative, technology-led methodology turned this low-risk, high-reward crime type on its head. HMICFRS has now determined a marked improvement nationally in this field. Immediately prior to his retirement, funding of £145 million was granted to continue this successful program over the next three years.

Having been the victim of a serious crime in the line of duty, when he was shot at by the suspect he was chasing, Rory understands all too well the risks that police officers take on behalf of the public, and is clear that in striving for world-class policing, we must never take for granted the very many good crime-fighting cops who we all rely on to keep us safe.

But doing ‘the right thing’ can come at enormous personal risk. Sir Ken received death threats for his work exposing wrongdoing… his wife was followed, his phone was tapped, and whilst walking around ‘The Tan’ in Melbourne a rifle laser sight was shone on his chest. 

Ending up carrying a firearm 24/7 whilst his family were given an armed protective security detail Sir Ken feared being ‘fitted up’ by corrupt cops and eventually left Australia for his, and his family’s safety, whilst striving to get fellow senior leaders to act upon his concerns.

Sir Ken tells listeners his fascinating inside story of police corruption, the murder in custody of renowned criminal Carl Williams, and his struggle uncovering police wrongdoing regarding ‘supergrass’ Nicola Gobbo, formerly known as ‘Lawyer X’.

But doing ‘the right thing’ can come at enormous personal risk. Sir Ken received death threats for his work exposing wrongdoing… his wife was followed, his phone was tapped, and whilst walking around ‘The Tan’ in Melbourne a rifle laser sight was shone on his chest. 

Ending up carrying a firearm 24/7 whilst his family were given an armed protective security detail Sir Ken feared being ‘fitted up’ by corrupt cops and eventually left Australia for his, and his family’s safety, whilst striving to get fellow senior leaders to act upon his concerns.

Sir Ken’s story is an alarming tale of the challenges and risks that can be faced by police leaders fighting to root out corruption and criminality within their own force. He reflects on how personal loyalty to the Chief and ‘the force’ can get in the way of doing the right thing.

In this episode we sit down and speak with former Nepalese police commander Durga Kunwar (retd. DIG). He served in the Armed Police Force, Nepal, for 20 years and experienced more than his fair share of challenges during his career.

From policing on the front lines of local terrorism in the form of the Maoist insurgency, being in charge of the protection of Nepal's royal family and to heading up the rescue efforts of the worst natural disaster to hit the region, as he was deputy metropolitan Commander in Kathmandu during 2015 mega earthquake.

It is truly an honor to welcome Durga Kunwar to Protect and Serve.

The murder of Yvonne Fletcher, a Police officer and close friend and colleague of John's, occurred on 17 April 1984, when she was fatally wounded by a shot fired from the Libyan embassy on St James's Square, London, by an unknown gunman. John and Yvonne had been deployed to monitor a demonstration against the Libyan leader Gaddafi, and died shortly afterwards. Her death resulted in an eleven-day siege of the embassy, at the end of which those inside were expelled from the country.

John was the last person Yvonne would see and speak with that day as he rode in the ambulance with her to the hospital. During that trip John made a promise to Yvonne, that he would find out who and why. A promise he has kept as he has fought to keep as he sets to bring those responsible for this awful crime to justice.

John's story is nothing short of mind blowing and we are extremely proud to welcome him to Protect and Serve.
