Andrew Turner MSyI,

Transition Champion

Andrew is a Security Consultant based in the south of England near Southampton following a
police career spanning 27 years. Eighteen of these were as a Search Advisor and Coordinator
specialising in security and Counter Terrorism (CT) operations. This role provided the
opportunity to develop an extensive knowledge of defensive and offensive CT search
operations, major crime scenes and victim recoveries. He gained his experience at numerous
high-profile incidents and large-scale events such as Royal Ascot, The Americas Cup, Royal and
Diplomatic events and operations on behalf of HM government. Andrew was also responsible
for implementing policies and procedures to ensure the safety and professionalism of both
staff and organisation. He implemented measures necessitating that staff and management
received focused and relevant training to ensure a consistent ‘blue ribbon’ service delivery whilst
maintaining high levels of security confidence and efficient work practises. Such experience
has been valuable since finishing his Police career and transiting into the new challenge of
the private security sector. Andrew’s sole trader knowledge in security as a whole and in
particular his specialist knowledge around the use of explosive search detection dogs and
working in confined spaces has been of enormous benefit to the security of numerous private
events. He also continues to consult on security requirements for spontaneous or high-profile
international media platforms such as NATO or Royal events in London. Whilst Andrew has
extensive experience and multiple professional, vocational and bespoke qualifications he found
formal security focused qualifications to be necessity, and recently completed a Level 5 Security
Consultancy programme and is currently working toward attaining his Level 7 Advanced Diploma
in Security and Management
