He was latterly posted to a number of specialist departments at Headquarters in Inverness. Chris retired as a Detective Sergeant in 2017. He brings with him a wealth of experience of helping and communicating with people; leadership, team-working, problem solving and investigating skills.
A native of the Isle of Harris, Chris is married with two sons. He enjoys spending time with his family, and their energetic Cocker Spaniel helps keep him active! Chris enjoys all kinds of sport, particularly football (watching only!), running, cycling and hill-walking.
Seonaid joined the advocacy team in August 2017. She is a native of Inverness and attended Millburn Academy and thereafter University where she got a Masters in Script Writing. Seonaid worked as a journalist before moving in to mental health work. She is a fluent Gaelic speaker and works for the BBC from time to time.
