Martin Boyden – Lead Consultant

I retired from Thames Valley Police as an Advanced Driver Trainer and Psychometric Driver risk assessor. I was employed as a Police Advanced driver trainer (Car), which allowed me to cover all Basic, Standard, and Advanced courses, assessments, and refreshers. All courses included RESPONSE training (blue light) in marked and unmarked vehicles.

External trainer for the National Crime Agency and Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs. I specialised as a TPaC (Tactical Pursuit and Containment) trainer, including the initial phase. Advanced and standard levels. This included training StopStick as well as training Tactical Pursuit Advisor (Control Room and Supervisors)

Lead Psychometric profiler and assessor, reporting to the Driver Risk unit and using the accredited DriverMetrics® Risk profile.

Using my extensive Policing Background, and the profiling, I worked with Police drivers who were identified as high Risk. To identify, and develop a package to support officers and staff. This reduced risk, to themselves, the public, and reduced cost due to collisions.
