Interview #61 | Behind the Badge: Former DCI Dean Wheeldon Discusses His Illustrious Policing Career

I welcome Dean Wheeldon to the show in this interview episode.


Dean spent 8 years in the Royal Navy before leaving in 1986 and joining Derbyshire Constabulary, where he spent the next 25 years.


As Detective Chief Inspector, Dean worked on several high-profile cases, but perhaps the most notable was that of serial killer Andrew Dawson, who murdered three people between 1982 and 2010. Dean was the Senior Investigating Officer (SIO) for that case.


Since retiring from the police in 2011, Dean has emigrated to the Canadian province of Nova Scotia where, despite initially only working a couple of days a week, he now earns a full-time living as a High Sheriff. He is responsible for the counties of Colchester, Cumberland and East Hants.
