Testimonials
Raj Kohli Chief Superintendent MPS Aug 2020
“I first worked with Martin in 2008 and remember him as being one of those officers who took time to support and coach junior colleagues in an unassuming but very effective manner. For example, when I first arrived at Camden in 2008 the pass rate for officers applying for promotion was only 25%. I recognised that Martin had the skill set, patience and communication style to significantly improve this situation.
It did not come as a surprise to me when the pass rate increased but to achieve an 85% pass rate was so exceptional that he deservedly was presented a Borough Commander’s Commendation for commitment and dedication in preparing officers for promotion. I was particularly impressed with the work he did with under-represented groups – groups of colleagues that historically had felt unsupported in the promotion process.
Interestingly Martin was the tutor for my son when my son joined the MPS. My son told me how he (and his class mates) thought Martin was ‘the best teacher they could have’ – and he told me this before we both realised I knew Martin.
It is no surprise to me that Martin finds himself teaching in his post-police career – he is a complete natural and the successes I describe above are a testimony to this.”

“Lectures from Martin I found were spot on. Support groups helped a lot too”.
MPS PC August 2020
“I honestly don’t think I’d have been able to get through the course If I hadn’t had Martin as a trainer. He pushed us to work hard but never rushed us and made sure we fully understood a subject before moving forward. We had constant support and despite the limitations due to Covid-19 still made us feel like we were getting the same quality if not higher training than we would be pre Covid-19. Thank you for the help Martin, I really appreciate the time you’ve spent teaching us.”
