JOHN CASSON
After leaving school at sixteen, John Casson started his career in retail, and then specialised in retail security before joining the Devon and Cornwall Constabulary in 1979. After eight happy and memorable years as a distinguished police officer, he fulfilled an ultimate career ambition by forming his own successful global security company, Securewest International, of which he is chairman.
His interests include, but are not limited to, wine (for both enjoyment and investment), current and international affairs, Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher, politics, Tibet, India, USA, policing, terrorism, watching old British black-and-white films, and, last but not least, observing life and meeting interesting people from all walks of life.
John is a member of the Travellers Club, Pall Mall, London; Chatham House; the Royal Institute of International Affairs, an independent policy institute; and the Worshipful Company of Security Professionals.
His first book, Afghan Faces, was published in 2010, followed in 2015 by the reprint of the legendary Oscar-winning actor Sir John Mills’ photographic autobiography Still Memories.
Semi-retired since 2007, John spends a lot of his time fundraising for charity. In 2012 he formed the John Casson Foundation, to which profits from the sale of this book will be donated. More details regarding the foundation can be found on the inside back cover.
John married Jenny in 1995, and they live with their two collie dogs, Nick and Pip, in Cornwall.
