[edit] Biography

Simon Illingworth is a former member of the Victoria police in Australia. He served in many different roles throughout his time in the force, but his most significant contribution was with the Police Internal Affairs where he helped weed out and prosecute corrupt police officers.

After retiring from the force he has written a book about his experiences entitled "Filthy Rat", selling 9,000 copies before being out of print in 2007. He also appeared on "Australian Story" [1] in May 2004 to tell his unique story and offer insight on the Melbourne underworld and police corruption.

Due to the upsurge of interest in the 1995-2004 gangland war in Melbourne sparked by the recent Australian Underbelly TV series, publisher Fontaine Press has re-released "Filthy Rat" in May 2008.

Simon currently runs his own company Ethical Strength with the mission to help people faced with moral and ethical dilemmas.
