Glen's talks not only cover knife, gang and gun crime but also the vulnerability of young women and the problems of raising self-esteem and confidence that might have been lost due to peer pressure and/or bullying.
Not only are his presentations educational, they are passionately delivered and emotional at times. They can be quite graphic and hard-hitting but this is necessary to convey his message and leave a lasting impact on the audience.
He educates students about the consequences of their possible actions, in terms of crime, allowing for thought-provoking presentations and critical thinking.
Glen worked for the prison service from 1997-2009. Along with two serving prisoners, he founded and developed the “Drugs and Crime” project.
Due to the continued success of this project he has since worked on numerous police, national and local government initiatives to help make our communities safer. In the community he continues to deliver presentations on violent crime to the younger population. He works continually with areas of the Metropolitan Police, in particular North London schools in and around Enfield and Harringey.
He was asked to help set up a similar project for the West Mercia Police in Aberdeen and also has worked with the Dutch media showing the parallels of knife/gun and gang cultures between the United Kingdom and Holland. In 2001 he was nominated for the Howard League Margery Fry award and was also nominated in 2001, 2002 and 2003 for the prison service Butler Trust award. In 2004 he received the Butler Trust award at Buckingham Palace from the Princess Royal along with other winners from the prison service.
In 2006 he became the first county winner in Northamptonshire of the Criminal Justice Awards for Tackling Youth Crime and in November 2007 was in the finals of the National Justice Awards for his outstanding work in the communities.
In 2008 he was highly commended for his work in Tackling Youth Crime by the Criminal Justice Board in Northamptonshire. In 2009 the nominations included Northamptonshire’s High Sherriff Community Foundation Award and also the Criminal Justice Awards for Tackling Youth Crime.
