The Metropolitan Police Chief Inspector - Jack Rowlands

Once upon a time, when I was a teenager I wouldn't give a police officer the time of day. Now, things have changed and I find myself supporting one of their initiatives that is aimed at diverting young adults away from a life of violence and crime. Speaking with Chief Inspector Jack Rowlands of the Metropolitan Police on my podcast about his project Divert is insightful and groundbreaking. He is a man who wants to give people a second chance in life from the moment they find themselves in a police cell in police stations across London. The early intervention programme he talks about can be a real game changer for those who make mistakes and end up on the wrong side of the law. It’s also a project that I believe should be available in every police station across the country as well as the globe.
