John, Michael: - Michael joined the police after being employed in the electronics industry for ten years. A career change into London's Metropolitan Police fulfilled a lifelong ambition. Michael was raised in South London and although critical of the way that the police service has changed, he has total respect for the police service. He resides in Kent with his family and has retired recently from the Metropolitan Police. Michael enjoys keeping fit, playing the guitar and has a wide diverse appetite for music.
