Liam Thomas was advised never to work on a paedophile or police corruption case. He did both. In VICE.com’s latest Profiles, he talks through these cases as well as the techniques he used working as an undercover cop on cases involving drugs, firearms and homicide. In light of the recent scandals surrounding undercover policing and evidence suggesting that documents were shredded after the announcement of the Undercover Policing Enquiry, Liam explains what he saw as God’s Work within the police. He describes this as the manipulation of facts and truth to protect the establishment. After leaving the force and spending time in psychiatric institutions, Liam is now an actor and playwright. He has written a play about police corruption based on his experiences within the force, named God’s Work. He sees his old life as character acting for the Metropolitan Police.
