To Entertain & Stimulate the Mind

Policing Past & Future.

 

After qualifying as a Commercial Manager whilst racing Speedway, Richard Hutley joined Dorset Police in 1984, retiring in 2015 as a Police Inspector, after a varied and colourful career.
Richard is now self-employed, providing Security Services, with a few side lines to complement.

After being involved in many public forums, competing at sport in front of large crowds, 'Alternative Presentations' brought these skills together to inform, entertain and challenge perceptions based on fact & evidence.

 

Richard’s talk will provide the history of Policing including locally, until today – and where does Law & order head in the future.

 

Richard’s talks are based on facts and evidence, rather than the conspiracy theory, the truth will often startle you.
