Mark is a keen advocate of Crimestoppers and is the BTP lead for Crimestoppers in Wales as well as presenting the ITV Wales slot on Sunday evenings to highlight crimes that need solving. As DI, Mark is responsible for all aspects of crime investigation on the railway infrastructure in Wales and has overall responsibility for how BTP tackles the problem of metal theft in The Wales and Western area.
