Our March speaker, Hamish Brown will present, Stalking the Stalker – Raising the Awareness
Hamish retired as a Detective Inspector in 2004 from the Specialist Crime Directorate at New Scotland Yard after over 30 years service with the Metropolitan Police. He had spent the vast majority of his career in the CID working in central London.
Although he has a thorough investigative background, especially regarding rape, murder and contract killing, he went on to specialise in the crime of stalking.
Hamish is a leading authority of international standing where he has helped victims and lectured to diverse audiences around the world. He was awarded the MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List for services to Victims of Harassment.
His presentation will commence with a fascinating case history of an investigation where he was ultimately commended both by the trial judge at the Crown Court and the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police. This involved the stalking of a young lady by a series of anonymous letters, over a six month period, which were of an intimidatory and frightening nature. Hamish will outline the investigation he led and emphasise the psychological affect stalking can have on its victims. He will go on to explain what stalking is, or can be, and give investigative tips on how to deal with victims of this unique and distressing crime. From there Hamish will show methods previously used by stalkers that will encourage others to understand it is necessary to ‘think outside the box’ when dealing with stalking matters. His presentation will be supported throughout by case histories and anecdotal examples which is guaranteed to keep the audience enthralled and entertained.
In retirement Hamish undertakes varied temporary work within the criminal justice system. He can also regularly be found on TV and radio giving an expert view on varied crime matters.
