Simon Rose, Detective Chief Superintendent BCU Commander North West London (Barnet Brent and Harrow)

Thesis title: Developing Solvability Strategies for Anti-Semitic and Islamophobic crime; an exploratory analysis

Simon joined the Metropolitan police in January 1992 after realising, post university that a career in Chemistry was not going to work, and spending a couple of years living and working odd jobs abroad. After being the only officer on his course of 200 at Hendon training school back classed he arrived at Holloway and was quickly sent to work in the CID when his driving skills were first tested. Simon subsequently worked in Special Branch as a Detective Sergeant, after 9/11, and later as a Detective Chief Inspector (Senior Investigating Officer) running covert anti-corruption enquiries for the MPS and other Forces around the UK. He returned to part time academic study finishing a part time MBA at Warwick Business School in 2012 and more recently Simon was the Borough Commander for Barnet. Barnet is the London Borough with the largest Jewish population in the UK, a fact that was reflected in his choice of research topic on his MSt. Simon had the privilege of representing Cambridge at judo in the Varsity match in 2017 but was unfortunately strangled unconscious by a Norwegian international player from Oxford in his contest. He graduates from the MSt this year.
