"I have now completed six years in the Metropolitan Police Service. I was the subject of a serious complaint at the end of 1999. The whole situation left me feeling very disillusioned and I seriously contemplated resigning from the Metropolitan Police Service.

I was fortunate enough to have had the support of Mr Michael about half way through the complaint investigation process. He remained as my support worker throughout the complaint investigation procedure. The allegation against me was subsequently unsubstantiated.

I wish to put it on record that had it not been for the level of support and encouragement I received from Mr Michael, I would not still be in a profession which is very dear to me. Mr Michael deserves credit and acknowledgement for his hard work. He is a great asset to the Metropolitan
Police Service and the Black Police Association."
