During her first posting in Tower Hamlets she earned the nickname ‘Thief Taker’ for her steely ambition and high arrest rate. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. As a speaker, Danni is very engaging and I am very happy to recommend her to anyone who wants to raise awareness about cybersecurity. Danni has written an incredible book about her 10 years of undercover life in the world of crack dens and mixing with some incredibly dangerous characters, all the more amazing considering she is just 5’2″! My life was full of danger every day and I couldn’t tell my friends or family what I did for a living.
Her personal life was less successful – pregnant at twenty-one, she had a disastrous relationship with the father of her child and had to fight for custody. There are more focused titles out there but if you've got a few hours and a credit to kill it was decent entertainment. Did some undercover work which was low level, and most cops have done similar levels and then she did office jobs.Her incredible backstory covers being a female in a dangerous male-dominated world and the importance of a female approach to crime-solving activities. Since leaving the force in 2013 she has built up a successful career as an investigator on C4’s Hunted, now in its 10 th series. Biography: Today Danni Brooke enjoys the quiet life with her two children at her home in Spain, where she also runs a cybersecurity company with partner and fellow TV hunter Ben Owen.
I look back and I’m really proud of my time undercover but it’s great to finally be able to live life in the open. I didn't know she had been on Hunted, it's not something I ever watched and I don't know why because I'd probably love it.
In her honest, warm and gripping memoir, Danni also reveals why she left the police, how she found a new career (and love) on Channel 4’s Hunted – and why the thrill of covert work has seen her turn her talents to tracking down cyber criminals. As an expert on personal and social media security issues, she is a regular on TV shows for her advice.
This fierce and courageous ex-copper prides herself on being one of the most experienced female undercover investigators in the UK. At 28, she became Features Editor of The People before leaving in 2005 to set up her own story agency, First Features Ltd, which sold stories to all parts of the national and international media. Her talent was quickly noted by the borough’s Guvnor and before long she was invited to take part in a ‘Test Purchasing’ course, which was the first time she realised there was a special unit dedicated to undercover policing. Since leaving the force in 2013 she has built up a successful career as an investigator on C4’s Hunted , now in its tenth series. She also referred to practical examples and shared some anecdotes backed up by evidence to drive the message home.Danni regularly speaks on live TV and Radio and has made appearances on numerous talk shows, including ITVs This Morning, sharing her advice for personal security and staying safe online and even writing the Plenty of Fish – safer dating guide. Whether infiltrating organized crime gangs or disrupting drug supply lines, Danni played the innocent Essex girl, fooling even the most suspicious villains, using her quick wits to keep her out of trouble. She has long been a strong supporter of women who want to work in traditionally male-dominated areas and is keen to promote these opportunities. Today Danni Brooke enjoys the quiet life with her two children at her home in Spain, where she also runs a cybersecurity company with partner and fellow TV hunter Ben Owen.
With such a significant accolade, Danni often likes to speak of how important it is to deploy women within traditionally male-dominated fields and believes that natural female skills are necessary across services such as the police force. I won't say I didn't like the story, as I definitely did, however as my title suggests, to me it was more akin to a biography than a detailed insight into her role as an undercover police officer. For over a decade, Danni Brooke was one of the most effective female undercover cops in the UK, one of a very small number of women in the Met's elite unit. Katy Weitz believes that most people have an extraordinary story to tell and she specialises in bringing them to the public's attention. Her security expertise is beyond doubt, and this knowledge is used wisely to inform and educate others.So interesting and I really enjoyed how she included snippets from her personal life as well including relationships and her children. Joining the force at the young age of 18 years old, her natural aptitude quickly shone through and she was recruited to work in the notoriously demanding Undercover Officer Unit at New Scotland Yard. Danni continues to contribute to Hunted and Celebrity Hunted where she has an unwavering determination to capture even more fugitives. For over a decade, Danni Brooke was one of the most effective female undercover cops in the UK, one of a very small number of women in the Met’s elite unit.
