Marilyn Wignall
Emergency Services Training Coordinator, Practitioner and Trainer

Marilyn is a retired Police Officer having served in Devon & Cornwall Constabulary for over 30 years, completing her police service in January 2006 as a Traffic Inspector in Exeter. She enjoyed a diverse police career spanning police patrol duties, CID, Drug Squad and the Regional Crime Squad; she transferred to traffic in 1999 just in time to be involved with the planning for the eclipse.

During her time on traffic she supervised numerous road death investigations and was instrumental in the force adopting the Road Death Investigation Manual 6 months before it was officially launched.

During her service she completed a Cert. Ed. and 2 degrees, the last one in the area of stress management. She was responsible for introducing two new strategies to the Force: Road Death investigation and Stress management. In 1990, having identified an individual who had suffered a traumatic experience, she researched Force and National policies in relation to stress management. Little existed at that time and she embarked upon a period of research, being awarded a Bramshill Fellowship which eventually resulted in the strategy of appointing Post Incident Colleague Supporters; in-house training and Force policy. In 2003 Marilyn was given the opportunity to undertake TRiM training through the police and saw its utility for use within the emergency services and persuaded Devon & Cornwall Constabulary to adopt it as their model of traumatic stress management.

Since her retirement she has helped to pioneer the use of TRiM in several UK police forces and other emergency services. She has also drawn on her police experience to conduct numerous interventions as part of the TRiM team.

She has been a TRiM trainer for over four years and has assisted with training to four UK police services. She has also given presentations to a wide variety of national audiences on TRiM-related matters.

She employed as a part time police service Force TRiM Co-ordinator as well as working with March on Stress to deliver high quality TRiM training.
