Summary

I welcome former British soldier and undercover police officer Shay Doyle to the show in this interview episode.

Shay's police career spanned 17 years, and he 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.

Shay's book 'Deep Cover: How I took down Britain's most dangerous gangsters', released on March 3, 2022, is available to purchase here:
