Simon McLean is a former undercover police officer who worked with the Serious Crime Squad in Glasgow, where he pursued drug dealers, gangsters, terrorists, murderers and paedophiles. 

Simon’s recently released The Ten Percent, a tell-all book that gives you a very rare insight into that world and details what The Ten Percent of police officers are willing to do to make sure those people they’re fighting against, are brought down.

We talk about Simon’s view on drug decriminalisation and why we need to take a different approach to Scotland’s drugs-problem, you’ll hear about his early days as a police officer in Campbelltown where he became pals with The Beatles’ Paul McCartney, and Simon gives a rundown on the raid that saw then-gangster Paul Ferris arrested on the quiet Scottish island-town of Rothesay.
