Brief description:
Ian Brown's police career started as a beat constable in Cumberland before transferring to the Metropolitan Police and completing his service as a Detective Superintendent in The British Virgin Islands where he headed a very successful drug squad.
His involvement in high profile and regulation cases led to some thirty commendations from courts and law enforcement agencies around the world and earned him a Queen's Commendation for Bravery.
Now an 'enrichment speaker' for Cunard, P&O and other cruise lines, he regularly presents to packed houses. He is also an accomplished after dinner speaker.
Ian has been engaged as a police advisor on several television crime programmes. He lives in Kent with his wife and his main interests are criminal research and sport as he is also a professional Lawn Tennis Association coach.
