Defuse / Diːˈfjuːz/ Verb:
To Make a Situation Less Tense Or Dangerous

The objective is to ensure that clients are fully informed, with real clarity about the challenges they encounter and experience an increased sense of security, enabling them to confidently resume their normal business operations.

If you’re feeling anxious or concerned about being subjected to physical, reputational or psychological harm, additional physical security measures, whilst helping to make you more secure, may not help you feel safer.

If you are experiencing feelings of anxiety or apprehension regarding potential physical, reputational, or psychological harm, it is important to note that while additional physical security measures may enhance your overall safety, they may not necessarily alleviate your feelings of insecurity.

The security sector is frequently viewed as a tough, aggressive field focused solely on preventing negative occurrences.

However, we hold a contrasting viewpoint. We view this profession as one rooted in care and support.

By collaborating with you, we’ll identify your specific worries and devise a strategy to resolve those issues, ultimately providing you peace of mind.

As a former New Scotland Yard Detective, I have over thirty years of experience, including a lengthy secondment to British Intelligence. Defuse Global was founded in 2019.

I spent most of my career as a detective employed in specialist and serious crime investigations, including child abuse, domestic violence, organised crime, homicide, intelligence and counter-terrorism.

In 2016, following the assassination of Jo Cox MP, I was asked to create and run a workplace violence, threat assessment and management team in the UK’s House of Parliament to investigate threats, abuse, and intimidation and protect our national politicians, taking responsibility for the UK’s protective security programme for all UK Politicians.

I was personally trained by Dr Robert A. Fein, PhD, ABP, a Forensic and National Security Psychologist who co-authored Preventing Assassination: US Secret Service Exceptional Case Study Project and is considered the originator of behavioural threat assessment.

Using the methodology taught by Dr Robert Fein, I identified and then helped prevent a terrorist attack against a Member of Parliament.

As a former Counterterrorism Security Coordinator (CT SecCo), I was responsible for the protective security plans of large-scale or significant policing operations and events involving the Royal Family, military, and Government.

In 2024, I authored ‘Personal Threat Management—The Practitioner’s Guide to Keeping Clients Safer,’ which is due to be published in February 2025.

I speak regularly at global business and security industry events.

I have an MSc in Security Management and am a Chartered Security Professional.

I provide keynote addresses and seminars at trade shows, conferences, networking gatherings, and dinner events. The presentations can be customised to suit the audience and vary in length to align with your needs. They are designed to both inform and engage attendees.
