George Rhoden's biography

At a glance

  • Former Detective Inspector at New Scotland Yard
  • Specialist Investigator on award-winning 'Hunted' series
  • Senior leadership trainer for global corporations
George Rhoden is a security specialist, crisis negotiator, and leadership trainer with extensive experience in law enforcement and high-stakes operations. His career began at the age of sixteen as a Police Cadet, at a time of significant tension between the police and the Black community. He was one of the very few Black officers in the force, navigating a challenging landscape while developing expertise in law enforcement, crisis response, and undercover operations. Over more than three decades with the Metropolitan Police Service, George progressed to the rank of Detective Inspector, leading specialist units within the Serious and Organised Crime Command at New Scotland Yard. His work included covert operations, crisis negotiation, and major crime investigations, positioning him as a trusted security and risk management authority. He also played a key role in international security initiatives, serving as a Senior Police Instructor consultant for the US and Mexican International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Bureau, working on bilateral security agreements to combat organised crime and violence. Beyond policing, George has established himself as a sought-after leadership trainer and consultant, delivering strategic guidance to global corporations, government agencies, and educational institutions. He has worked with major brands such as Nike, AstraZeneca, and Scandinavian Airlines, providing senior executives crisis management training and decision-making support. His expertise has also been applied to high-profile security roles, including leadership positions at the London 2012 and Atlanta 1996 Olympic Games. George is well known to television audiences for his role in the award-winning Channel 4 series Hunted and Celebrity Hunted, where he applies his specialist experience to track down fugitives. He also appeared in the BAFTA-winning BBC documentary Uprising, which explored the social unrest of the 1980s in London. His frequent media appearances as a crisis management expert further highlight his depth of knowledge and practical insights. A dedicated mentor and advocate for diversity and inclusion, George is committed to fostering leadership, resilience, and operational excellence across sectors.
