Graham Bartlett was a Sussex police officer for thirty years. In 1989 he was posted to Brighton and Hove, becoming a detective the following year. Quite uniquely he served the city through every rank, rising to become a homicide senior investigating officer and Detective Superintendent for Public Protection as well as a strategic firearms and public order commander. He then achieved his life’s ambition, as Chief Superintendent, to become the city’s Police Commander, a job he held and loved for four years. He pioneered Operation Reduction, the enduring approach to slashing drug deaths and reducing crime as well as cutting disorder at protests by adopting methods developed by one of the world’s foremost crowd psychologists. He lives in Sussex.
