This talk touches upon many of experiences as a police officer, including my reasons for joining, why so many advised me against it, why many of my friends and those from my community turned against me, my different roles, the various challenges I faced and how I overcame them, culminating in local and national recognition for my work and not only finding my voice but also becoming a voice for those unable to speak for themselves. Time allowing, I can also share my perspectives on some of the challenges facing today's police service.

I am a retired police officer, author and coach/mentor. I came to England as a nine year old boy from a rural village in Pakistan. A very shy and timid young boy, I knew nothing of the wonderful world that existed outside my little village. After moving to England and a chance meeting with a Lancashire lass my life was transformed. This wonderful woman saw something in a dreamy eyed, lost young man and her love and devotion helped me to go on a journey that helped me to find the real person inside. This journey helped me to go from someone unable to speak for himself to become a voice for others.
I have lived in Lancashire since 1973, having moved from Oxfordshire to Yorkshire then to Lancashire. I left school with little qualifications and began my working life in a bank, a dairy, on the buses, as a Traffic Warden, before I found my true vocation as a Police Officer.
I retired in 2013 and only took up writing during the Covid Pandemic in 2020. In my first book. 'PC Mebs - Finding Myself', I share my life story.
Since it's publication I have become a guest speaker and deliver series of three talks.
