Former Soldier / Former Police Officer / Author
Shay is a former British soldier and police officer whose career spanned 17 years and was one of the UK's chosen few Level 1 undercover operatives.
Posing as a professional criminal, he came face to face with some of Britain's most dangerous gangsters and was part of a hand-picked team chosen to hunt down the now-convicted murderer Dale Cregan.
After being medically discharged from the police in 2020, Shay is now a mental health advocate working alongside professionals and organisations to tackle the stigma attached to mental health in high-risk and high-pressure roles.
He is also a passionate activist against gun, gang and knife crime.
