During his career he was posted to the Territorial Support Group, the Murder Squad, Internal Affairs, Safeguarding and other various command groups within the Met. He has been part of senior leadership teams for major public order events such as the Notting Hill Carnival, New Year’s Eve and other large scale public order events. At times he was responsible for high profile murder cases and other serious crimes. Jon has been interviewed by most of the TV channels in the UK and has travelled all over the world, from Europe to the Falklands islands. Jon has just recently had a paper published by the Home Office Affairs select committee into ways of increasing the arrest and charge rate for the sex offence beginning with ‘R’ and ending in ‘ape’.Throughout his career Jon has been driven by a need to maintain high professional standards, to support the victims of crime to lead from the front and continually confront those that were unable or unwilling to maintain such standards.In March 2023, Baroness Louise Casey, concluded a year-long investigation into the Metropolitan Police force.

Jon’s describes his initiation, talks about some his scariest moments, tells some hilarious stories and much more...Extra Stuff:Reach Out to Jon on https://www.instagram.com/jonkennedy_pt/Baroness Casey Report: https://www.met.police.uk/SysSiteAssets/media/downloads/met/about-us/baroness-casey-review/update-march-2023/baroness-casey-review-march-2023.pdfPublication: https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm5802/cmselect/cmhaff/193/report.html00:00 Intro02:47 Police Initiation07:41 Is The Police Misogynistic14:08 Is It Worth Joining the Police19:12 Weeding Out Corrupt Cops30:29 Discipline or Bullying41:59 Are TV Shows Like Reality43:50 Early Career51:11 Bullying in the Riot Police58:28 Riots, Petrol Bombs & Hooligans01:12:05 Scariest Moment in 30 Years01:18:01 Impact on Family Life01:27:28 Working with High Profile People01:35:21 RAF Nearly Bomb Traffic Cops01:38:47 Pork Pie and Dead Body Story01:49:22 Bad Boys, Bad Boys...
