Carmody Consulting

With 25 years of policing experience, I offer bespoke safety training and expert witness consultancy in use of force, leveraging my expertise in high-risk operations and litigation.

About me

After 25 years of service as a police officer, I now bring my expertise in personal safety and self-defence training to businesses and professionals. As a Lead Trainer for GMP, I worked with officers across all levels—from civilian staff to firearms and counter-terrorism teams. I played a pivotal role in developing scenario-based training, now used by police forces across the UK.

My experience extends to high-risk detention, extradition operations, and civil litigation assessments. Whether guiding frontline professionals or equipping corporate teams with vital safety skills, my tailored approach ensures practical, effective learning. With a career built on precision, leadership, and strategic training, I am committed to empowering individuals with the knowledge and confidence to navigate security challenges.

Carmody Consultancy

I founded Carmody Consultancy Subject Matter Expert Ltd to share my expertise in use of force, personal safety, and risk management. My goal is to support agencies with bespoke training and expert consultation, ensuring professionals are equipped with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to navigate complex security challenges effectively.

“For your hard work, dedication, and professionalism with the Greater Manchester Police Cadets.
You have created bespoke training packages to cover Police self-defence training and arranged for them to complete the job-related fitness test for new and serving Police officers. The cadets were given a full insight into Police self-defence training and were given the opportunity to use training batons and training PAVA.
No doubt experiences such as this will encourage future recruitment into Greater Manchester Police.”
