Harry
I just wanted to say I am really thankful for what you did in those 2 days for us. Ever since primary school I always wanted to be a police officer. In the months following on police backlash and a downfall of trust in the police really made my mind go haywire. I wanted to join the police but then I thought I would be looked at and talked about for being a police officer. Until you came along. I have to say you've blown my mind with making my childhood dream want to come back to life. I loved every bit of everything you did over those 2 days. I again can't thank you enough for what you've done. You may have turned my life into what my childhood dream was to do and to be completely honest, after those 2 days I may start looking to pursue a career in policing. Thank you for everything.

Caroline Greyson, Course Director – College of West Anglia
This has been an amazing opportunity for the Level 3 PPS students. They have experienced Crime Scene Investigation delivered by a true professional. They’ve had the opportunity to interact with a police detective, asking questions about the job and receiving relevant, bespoke learning, guiding them into their career. This is definitely an opportunity we wish to continue for our students in forthcoming years.

Sharon Hogarth – UPS College Lecturer
Paul’s CSI workshops proved to be a huge success in our college they were engaging for all of our learners, including Criminology, Policing and Uniformed Public Services. Paul was engaging and explained the content depending on his audience, he adapted his approach as necessary, he was very considerate of the audience. Paul’s wealth of experience as a Detective within the Metropolitan Police was such an inspiration for many of our budding police officers, forensic scientists and crime scene investigators. We cannot wait to welcome Paul back to the College next academic year and continue to work with Paul in the future, we highly recommend him.

Abayomi – Supervisor
Paul is a fantastic trainer. He has experienced working within various CID units so his practical knowledge is so valuable and this is sometimes what is lacking from trainers on other courses as they have never experienced working within the units. Considering the course is very front loading with information, he managed to create a relaxed and supportive learning environment where you feel completely supported.
Supervisor Testimonials
Sarah – Supervisor
I have really enjoyed learning from Paul. He was engaging, patient, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I have found him approachable with any queries I have had, and appears to genuinely care how we can apply the training to our course. He combined experience in the role into an invaluable training tool as it helped to apply the theory to the real world. He is likeable and easy to understand too.

Graham – Supervisor
Paul was very approachable and always offered extra help or explanations when I needed it. He was both very funny and light-hearted, which kept a potentially ‘intense’ course, not excessively heavy. He delivered the lessons in a way which kept the class focused.
