Details of talks given by Jools Lloyd
Jools was a highly successful career detective having completed over 30 years exemplary service in the Metropolitan Police. This was mainly within Specialist Operations at New Scotland Yard (NSY). His considerable expertise was acquired from prolonged and successful postings to the Flying Squad, SO11 Covert Surveillance Unit and The Counter-Terrorism Squad SO15. On retirement from the MPS he received a rare accolade where he was personally thanked by The Commissioner, Sir Ian Blair who presented him with his Certificate of Service. On retirement, Jools ran a successful surveillance company in the private sector for many years. His presentation on surveillance will get you to see this discipline in a whole new fascinating light. His years on the Flying Squad (aka The Sweeney) will show what life was really like on this famous detective squad dealing with armed robbery. Operation Magician delivers a fascinating insight into the covert operation leading up to the infamous Millennium Dome diamond robbery in 2000. In 2020 he worked with Ross Kemp and ITV on a 20 year Anniversary programme about the robbery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHvejn6iWVs&t=15s and also featured heavily in the current 2025 Netflix production "The Diamond Heist" https://www.netflix.com/watch/82013051
