Danni Brooke

Standing at just 5’2″, Danni Brooke is more than her petite frame suggests; she is also a commended Police Officer. This fierce and courageous ex-copper prides herself on being one of the most experienced female undercover investigators in the UK.

Joining the force at the young age of 18 years old, her natural aptitude quickly shone through and she was recruited to work in the notoriously demanding Undercover Officer Unit at New Scotland Yard.

Danni has made a name for herself in the global security arena, gaining her experience through an extensive career with the UK’s Metropolitan Police, where she served as a highly respected undercover officer. Today, she is the co-founder and co-owner of The OSINT Group, a world-leading cyber security company specialising in open-source intelligence and human-led threat awareness.

After a number of years on TV Danni now runs a cybersecurity company and talks about staying safe and her life as an undercover cop.

With a unique ability to bridge the gap between the technical and the human, Danni delivers high-impact talks and training sessions to audiences across sectors – from corporate and academic institutions to law enforcement and intelligence agencies. She is known for making digital safety and investigations relatable, engaging, and actionable.
