Formed in May 2015, Global Policing Limited provides training, data protection, consultancy, police and security related services.
Established in 2015, Global Policing works with organisations like yours to make the world (and your community) a safer place to live and work.
Founded by former Police Chief Inspector Shane Williams and his team of senior ex-Police Officers, we have developed our unique range of services around our own experience and the needs of our clients.
This means we are ideally placed to deliver training, provide data protection services and support you in other critical areas. With a huge amount of knowledge throughout our team in every area we work within, we aim to keep costs low and take as much work as possible off your hands. Our hands-on approach has made us the go-to training provider for hundreds of organisations across the North-West and beyond.

It is our goal to secure funding which allows us to deliver this learning to schools free of charge.
We are passionate about meeting the needs of every organisation. We would love to hear from you, to talk about how we can help your school or organisation.
