Michael Fuller was born in London UK to Windrush-generation Jamaican immigrants in 1959. From the age of 18 months until 16 years old he was brought up in a care home by a white foster mother, 'Aunty Margaret'. During his childhood in care he became passionate about joining the Police. This was despite being discouraged by people of influence in his life who feared he would experience racism. He managed to overcome the extreme personal challenges of racism and bereavement, as described in his memoir. He had a fascinating career in policing, from the beat to the being on the front-line at the Brixton riots in 1981. He was also involved in cutting edge detective work tackling drug-related crime on London's most volatile estates. He helped set up the ground breaking Racial and Violent Crime Task Force at Scotland Yard, after criticism of the Police following the flawed Stephen Lawrence murder investigation. He also had a pivotal role in heading Operation Trident, which successfully reduced gun crime in London. In 2004 he was appointed as the UK's first ever black Chief Constable in Kent in 2004. He retired from the Police in 2010, having qualified as a lawyer. 'Kill the Black One First' A Memoir of Hope and Justice is an inspirational and truly moving account of a life in policing during a tumultuous period of race relations within the UK.
