Accomplishments

Whilst in the Police I was awarded a 'Chief Constables' commendation, this was for bravery in the line of duty whereby I stopped a female jumping out of a window from 13th floor of a tower block pulling her back in a detaining her.

I received many local awards and letters of thanks (Copies available) from acts of bravery, life saving (pulling a person from a river) and whilst at 'public order' training prevented numerous officers from being injured when a stray petrol bomb landed in a large stock of unlit fuel within a group of officers (I ran forward dragging the stock of bombs away from the officers as they exploded)


Whilst working as a security officer at Rolls Royce I assisted ERU officers when a member of staff suffered a heart attack, this resulted in me receiving a letter of thanks from the then director of operations and was recognised through the staff recognition scheme.



In my own time and at my own expense I have taken courses (passed and certificated) specialising in Mental Health (Mental Health Advocacy and First Aid within the Work Place/Self Harm and Suicide Prevention)


I am also recognised as a Mental Health First aider (Nationally) for Mental Health Motorbike.
