Leroy Logan
Leroy Logan MBE is one of the UK's most highly decorated and well-known Black police officers.
A respected and highly-regarded commentator on policing and wider social justice issues, he believes that there is still much work to do in creating a more equitable and fair criminal justice system.
Leroy’s early career was recently depicted in Red, White and Blue, the BAFTA and Golden Globe-winning episode of director Sir Steve McQueen’s acclaimed television series, Small Axe.
Since his retirement, Leroy published his autobiography, Closing Ranks: My Life as a Cop and continues to draw from his decades of policing experience, to give insightful, critical analysis on current events surrounding the UK justice system. He’s been called upon by the likes of Channel 4, Newsnight, The Guardian, Sky, BBC Radio 4, HARDTalk and many more.
As the founding member and past Chair of both the Met and National Black Police Association (BPA), Leroy also co-founded Voyage Youth, a citizen's focus of the BPA. A social justice charity, it aims to empower marginalised, young, Black people and provide them with the self-awareness and motivation to transform themselves and their communities.
In January 2022 Leroy was appointed Chair of Transition to Adulthood (T2A), the justice arm of the Barrow Cadbury Trust’.
