Lance Burdett spent 22 years with New Zealand Police, where he
worked as a crisis negotiator specialising in suicide intervention
and in predicting violent behaviour. During that time, he also
gained a Master's degree in terrorism, safety and security. He
describes this work in his first book, Behind the Tape: life on the
police frontline, published by Allen and Unwin in 2018. He remains
New Zealand media's go-to person for comment on policing.
Upon leaving the police, he established WARN International, a
company which specializes in mental health, resilience,
communication and wellness training. Through their workshops and
course, the company seeks to inspire and motivate, providing
participants with the skills to look after both themselves and each
other; while improving organisational culture and assisting with
personal growth. Recent clients include: WorkSafe, ACC, ANZ, IAG
(State, NZI, AMI, etc.), BNZ, Ministry of Social Development, AA,
Auckland Transport, NZTA, University of Auckland and AUT.
