Derek’s successful 30-year career in the UK Police Service spanned high-risk operational environments to strategic business change programs. His tenure culminated in a Chief Superintendent rank, and in 2010, he retired after leading a national change program at the National Policing Improvement Agency. Derek then transitioned into the private sector, embarking on a career as a management consultant in the Police, Justice, and Security sectors, with a strong focus on business transformation. His journey extended to working internationally in conflict-affected regions, accumulating invaluable insights into security challenges
As a Registered Independent Security Consultant holding a professional diploma in security management, Derek brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to CaPS, specialising in data protection, anti-money laundering, and public safety
When it comes to data protection, I believe in the ethical use of personal data, not the monetised exploitation for commercial benefit at the expense of the individual. I view implementation of data protection practices as a business change programme rather than a compliance one, moving to a cultural shift from a tick box exercise. This is where the cost of data protection becomes an investment not a necessary evil and a hit on the bottom line
Regulatory compliance is merely the starting point for organisations. Our mission at CaPS is to help you transcend compliance and become a force for good through the ethical use of personal data.
We don’t just assist you in complying with data protection legislation; we instil a culture where shared values prevail. In a world where ethics matter, you’ll enhance trust and bolster your brand by exemplifying honesty, transparency, and openness in managing and utilising the information you gather.
At CaPS, we’re not just consultants; we’re your partners in trust, compliance, and ethical excellence. Join us in shaping a future where businesses thrive through unwavering integrity and enduring trust.
