Ali retired from Suffolk Police in 2021 having completed 30 years service as a police officer. Half of her service was spent in the Digital Forensics Unit having joined the team as the first female forensic analyst in 2006.
Ali doesn‘t play golf, cricket or snowboard and whilst she is keen to take things apart she isn’t quite as good at putting them back together. Ali does however hold the honour of being the Control-F inflatable horse racing champion having triumphed at the MSAB event at Celtic Manor in 2017.
