This is Episode 2 - Maggie was interviewed in her home in Altrincham in July 2024 where she opened up about her childhood in the suburbs of Manchester, her reasons for joining the police force as a 40 year old mother of 4, how she found herself tasked with investigating the grooming gangs in the Greater Manchester area and the failings she encountered by the GMP to tackle the gangs that ultimately led her to resign and blow the whistle on her former employers. 

In this episode we hear about how Maggie’s introduction to life in the police force was no walk in the park and how she got no special treatment as a 40 year old mother of four when she was posted to Moss Side, and area that was rife with “guns and gangs and drugs”. 

We also hear about how she finally found her feet within the force when she joined the Major Incident Team and also how her new career affected her homelife.
