Lead Data Scientist - Metropolitan Police

I am the Lead Data Scientist at the Metropolitan Police, having built a career within the organisation since joining as a student for a Year In Industry placement many years ago. I’ve worked across teams in data analysis, architecture, engineering and digital forensics, before finding a home in building a data science team. Now I lead the team in showcasing the value data science can bring to solving policing problems. We’ve worked on initiatives for New Met for London, strategic products to help automate and improve processes (and data quality!), and operational products to support building cases and finding evidence across the ever increasing volumes of data in investigations.
