Profile

Mike Reed has recently retired from Policing after 30 years in the City of London Police. In his service he has served in numerous roles and departments ranging from response teams, crime squads to firearms operations. He has a wide breadth of knowledge within Policing and the influences in and outside of it. He has been involved in some of the most traumatic and impactive incidents in London in recent times, leading in his expert field for both the London Bridge and Fish Mongers terror attacks. He has been a major advocate for officers pay, conditions and welfare, in his role as Chair of the City of London Police Federation, an elected role he held for 13 years. Mike now works for Gallagher Insurance, where he specialises in arranging group schemes that benefit both the Police and Fire service. He also remains actively involved in two police charities that he holds close to his heart being the Met & City Orphans and The Rupert Fund both if which he previously chaired. Mike agreed to remain on our Advisory Board after his retirement, as he believes that the Blue Light Show offers the emergency services a fantastic opportunity to collaborate and find benefits for those involved.
