Hello team. Good to be back. Hello you. It's always good to have you. And Small Town FAM. We are so thrilled to welcome a new guest to the podcast. Retired Superintendent Sean.

Hi everybody. Good to see you. As you can hear possibly Sean is joining us from Scotland.

Thank you so much for sitting down with us today. No thank you. It's an honor. I'm so excited. So Sean before we get into the case that you've brought to us today will you give us a little bit of the level and sort of what your department was like when you were there and your jurisdiction.

Yeah of course in this story I'm going to take you back to 2010. So in 2010 I was Detective Chief Inspector and I was working in a city in Scotland called Dundee. Dundee is the largest city in Tayside.

Tayside Police was the name of the organization that I was part of at that time. Tayside had about 1100 officers which policed quite a large geographical area. So Tayside covers three areas.

Perth and Kim Ross is a sort of local authority area. Angus which is a coastal region. And then Dundee city. And like I say Dundee was the largest city there.

Dundee is one of these places that although it's a city everybody knows everybody else. You're never too far away from people that you've seen before etc etc. So it's a very close knit city. Dundee it's an old city.

It was founded on what they called Jam, Dute and Journalism. So they had Jam factories. They had factories that made Dute I.E. Hessian that they made bags and so on from and journalism.

And when you say Jam are you talking like strawberry jam that kind of jam. Yeah that's exactly what I'm talking about. I'm talking about strawberry jam. I'm talking about Marmalade. That's exactly what we're talking about.

As I'm talking you're probably thinking Dute don't really use Dute now. We don't. Jam's not such a big thing. And journalism has spread across the world.

So Dundee has suffered as a result of that because a lot of the industries that previously relied on have now stopped functioning and it's had to find a new approach.

And one of the things that Dundee has found was the gaming sector. So Dundee has two universities and both of those universities have got a big number of students who learn how to code and to set up games.
