Podcasts about broadwater farm

This episode was filmed in front of a live studio audience at Vorboss in central London. Kevin O'Leary spent 30 years as a police officer with the Metropolitan Police retiring as a Chief Superintendent. Kevin was also, now famously, episode No.1 of The Leadership Enigma which started during the pandemic. This episode is a fascinating insight into the world of crime and punishment including undercover policing, hostage negotiation, stolen vehicles, riots, serial killers and more. Kevin decided to become a police officer after he was robbed at knife point at 14 years old and the police solved the crime and actually recovered his bicycle. As a very young probationary police officer Kevin found himself policing the miner's strike in the 1980's during the time Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister and also the Broadwater Farm riots which involved the murder of PC Keith Blakelock, all providing Kevin with a baptism of fire into the world of policing. Kevin's time with the Stolen Vehicle Squad was his initiation in the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) and learning how to carry a case load of allocated reactive investigations. In 1999 Kevin became involved in the Admiral Duncan Pub bombing. He was around the corner on an unrelated surveillance operation when the bomb was detonated. At the scene, Kevin was faced with chaos and destruction. As one of the first on scene his ability to make quick decisions and prioritise were tested to the max. As a police officer and leader, picking up on 'weak signals' is a must in a world of constant change. Kevin tells the story of dealing with a High Risk missing person which turned into uncovering the actions of an international serial killer, John Sweeney, who is currently serving life in prison and will be the focus of a recent television documentary. Kevin as a senior officer held the role of Head of Undercover Policing for the Metropolitan Police and explains the iconic investigation he was involved in that was headlined in the newspapers as 'The Hip Hop Cop Shop.' Kevin had to make a series of difficult and at times unpopular decisions for the ranks and file officers in order to help protect them from the rigours and stresses of undercover operations. One of Kevin's final roles in his career was as Bronze Commander during the London 2012 Olympics with a funny story of the cycle protest group 'Critical Mass' that had been infiltrated and decided to see if they could intercept the Queen! Kevin is also the 'referee' for the award winning TV show 'Hunted' which is on our screens each year. www.kevinoleary123.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Click on the link and your discount will be applied Kevin's inspiration to join the Police was prompted by a robbery where at the age of 14 he was held at knifepoint and his pedal cycle was stolen. He went on to see the suspect in a local park on the stolen bike. The police were contacted and when they arrived, they arrested the suspect and seized the bike. The rest as they say is history.Kevin was 20 when he joined the Metropolitan Police, and the year was 1983. His service commenced in Edmonton and after 6 years transferred to King Cross. This area was not the affluent location that it is now!The Harrods Bombing, The murder of Yvonne Fletcher and the Broadwater farm riots took place in his early years in the job. Kevin describes the significant events and the Tottenham riots in particular; he was patrolling Southgate when he was told to return to base pick up his public order kit and travel to the infamous Broadwater Farm.Kevin's love for cars help directed him to the stolen vehicle squad. It was during this time that he honed his skills as an investigator. He went on to lead a team at Kings Cross and headed missing persons enquires. One such was Paula Field, Her body was found minus its identifying features in a holdall in the canal at Camden. He was invited to apply for the role in SO10 which specialised in undercover deployments and stayed in the role for 8 years. He found the role particularly political, and we discuss the issues in managing undercovers and the associated issues. During his time he became a hostage negotiator and recalls vividly the kidnap of a 10 year old boy.He concluded his services a s Chief Superintendent and was an operational lead during the 2021 Olympics .A memorable day during his service was the nail bombing in Old Compton Street at the Admiral Duncan Pub. He talks about a member of the public Named David Morley who had been injured in the explosion. This mans nickname was Cinders. He survived the bombing and was a very kind individual. A few years later Mr Morley was murdered on the South Bank by a group of youths.Since leaving the Police Kevin has been behind the television shows “The Hunted” and “The Heist” He is now a published author and his book “Where The Evidence Takes Us” Is available from all good book sellers. John Sutherland and Adam Kay were inspirations and John has written has written a recommendation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Mentioned in the previous episode so I checked up on the current state of the Haringey Repair Cafes and I was pleased to see how professional they have gotten since I last looked at them. Chis was also super easy to connect with - I think apart from our German surnames we have quite a bit in common (both interested in and involved with one million projects at any one time).We covered so many topics from start to finish - longstanding fans will recognise projects featuring in previous episodes. I hope you feel inspired - I already am working on a new project inspired by our conversation.Haringey Fixers website: https://haringeyfixers.orgHaringey Fixers Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/haringeyfixers/Haringey Fixers Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/haringeyfixersTop Tips Directory: https://anybodyeverybodytottenham.com/blog/aet-directory ...........................................................................................................................................pod instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anybodyeverybodytottenham/For updates on my latest projects, check pod website : https://www.anybodyeverybodytottenham.com/pod twitter: https://twitter.com/AnybodyBody 

June 28th: PC Keith Blakelock Born (1945) Sometimes people resort to violence to make their voices heard. On June 28th 1945 a man was born who, later in life, would be thrust into the center of a riot created by a marginalized group of individuals tired of watching others like them lose their lives to the police.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Keith_Blakelock, https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-34433752, https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/unsolved-murder-series-1985-mob-12674010, https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/family-murdered-pc-keith-blakelock-11772072, https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/mar/04/keith-blakelock-murder-accused-broadwater-farm-court, https://www.murdermap.co.uk/unsolved-murders/tottenham-riots-the-unsolved-murder-of-keith-blakelock/ Learn more about your ad choices.

When I first moved to Tottenham, I was actually a runner, I was preparing a 10k and that's when I first discovered Lordship Rec - 11 years ago. I remember experiencing some stunning sunsets. On the other hand, one of my friends who grew up next to the park, remembers watching some more unsavoury events unfolding. Everybody has a story and connection to Tottenham's parks so it was with great excitement that I spoke with Dave about the transformation that the Friends of Lordship Rec managed to achieve over the last twenty years.their website: https://lordshiprec.org.uk/their Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/307036912739/Lordship Hub Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lordshiphub_n17/their Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@lordshiprecEpisode on Countryfile about Lordship Rec (also featuring Dave and many other local legends): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yjvb9MxxDrw&t=258s.....................................................................................................................................................pod instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anybodyeverybodytottenham/pod website : https://www.anybodyeverybodytottenham.com/pod twitter: https://twitter.com/AnybodyBody

"Broadwater Farm" has become shorthand for many people particularly outside of Tottenham for something very different to most people who actually live there or nearby. I came across Wendy because of an event where she projected a film she had created about the estate and the people living there onto one of the blocks themselves - I absolutely love stuff like this.The project is quite a few years back but I found it really interesting finding out how Wendy developed it and eventually put on the event. The river project sounds so amazing, too.You can find the films on Wendy's website:https://www.wendycharlton.net/sa61-home.htmlWendy's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wendyanncharlton/Inga's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ingabystram/.....................................................................................................................................................pod instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anybodyeverybodytottenham/pod website : https://www.anybodyeverybodytottenham.com/pod twitter: https://twitter.com/AnybodyBody
