Wayne Couzens was born in 1972 in Dover, Kent.
Â
Wayne is a constable serving with the Metropolitan Police at Everard's murder.

He began working as a policeman in September 2018.

He had served with the Civil Nuclear Constabulary before. He was then assigned to the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection (PaDP) branch, responsible for the uniformed government and diplomatic premises protection.

Wayne was not subjected to enhanced vetting as part of his recruitment, nor did he undergo the mandatory two-year probation period before becoming a police officer in the PaDP.
Â
Wayne's crimes led to a non-statutory inquiry headed by Dame Elish Angiolini about how he could hold on to his role at both the Met and Avon & Somerset Constabulary despite alarming incidents.
