My name is Mark Dunn, I served 16 years as a police licensing enforcement officer working for the Derbyshire Constabulary. I have worked with the licensing Act 2003 since its inauguration in November 2005. I was instrumental in setting up policies and procedures some of which are still used by local police today.

During my time in the Licensing department, I have worked closely with all responsible authorities and the licensing trade. Over the years, I have built a reputation as being firm but fair and consistent in my approach. I have acquired, through practical experience, a wealth of knowledge and a skill set not found in any textbook.
