Paul Fullwood

Paul Fullwood is Director of Investigations at SJ Group International, a former Assistant Chief Constable and a former Executive Director of the Security Industry Authority, the body that regulates the UK private security industry and is the regulator for Martyn's Law. He has more than 35 years of experience across policing, government and regulation, and served as the National Police Chiefs' Council lead for Strategic Investigation.

In policing, Paul led major national operations covering armed policing, counter-terrorism and serious crime. He was Gold Commander for tri-force operations and led sensitive investigations as a senior detective across several forces and national units.

At the Security Industry Authority, he oversaw regulatory enforcement across the UK's private security industry and was involved in shaping Martyn's Law.

Paul is a College of Policing Associate and regularly advises and lectures senior law enforcement leaders on complex crime and operational leadership.

At SJ Group International, he leads complex and sensitive investigations, supports clients through crisis response, and advises on security governance, including helping venues, event organisers and corporates prepare for Martyn's Law.
