Dave Milner

Overview

Dave joined the multi-disciplinary investigations team within MKS Law in 2024, and is a fraud investigator with a 32-year background in law enforcement.

He began his working life at NatWest International Bank in the UK, where he spent five years on the Management Development Programme. While at the bank, he studied for the Chartered Institute of Bankers Qualifications and passed modules in Law relating to banking, accountancy, monetary and financial systems, and investment.

In 1993, Dave joined Greater Manchester Police (GMP) as a uniformed police officer, then after six years moved to become a detective with the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), working in two separate divisions.

From 2004, Dave spent the next 11 years with GMP’s Major Incident Team. During this time, he worked on innumerable murder investigations, human trafficking cases and investigations into large-scale drug supply networks.

In 2015, he moved to SO15 Counter Terrorism Command, working for Counter Policing Northwest. Initially he was part of the Forensic Management Team, dealing with live bomb scenes, such as the Manchester Arena bombing in 2017 and an attack at Liverpool Women’s Hospital. He was also deployed to London and worked on the 2017 Westminster Bridge terrorist attack inquiry and other significant inquiries.

Dave then moved into the Investigations Department of Counter Terrorism Command, dealing with complex investigations, including terrorist bombing plots and terrorism funding. As part of these roles, he assisted SO15 as an Associate Trainer, teaching members of the UK’s emergency services how to deal with post-blast scenes.

Dave then retired from UK policing in the summer of 2022, moving to the British Virgin Islands and joining the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force. Working as a detective, he operated within the Commission of Inquiry Team. He spent 18 months working as both lead exhibits officer and investigator, prior to joining MKS Law as a fraud investigator.
