John Davison
Biography
John Davison was born and bred in Wiltshire, England. School walking trips to Norway and Iceland (funded by a part-time job in a shop) started an enduring interest in travel, and John took a degree in geography at the University of London. It’s an interest which has stayed with him ever since.
John spent 30 years with the Metropolitan Police in London and was awarded a Queen’s Commendation for Bravery for arresting a man who stabbed him and three of his colleagues. The experience led him to research better ways of working and the result, now known as "officer safety training", is familiar to British police officers.
John’s interest in travel, the outdoors, and social history, and his sense of humour, are reflected in his first book, “Every Day above a New Horizon”, published by Smashwords. John is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and he now lives in Essex.
