The Unrelenting Pursuit of Excellence. That’s what Dean Stott’s chasing – a 16-year career Veteran, Dean’s started his military service by joining the SBS, an elite special forces unit of the United Kingdom. In 2011, an injury pushed Dean into the private security sector, providing expertise to governments, presidents, and royals, including single-handedly evacuating the Canadian Embassy in Libya in 2014. Then in 2016, Dean set his sights on a new challenge – cycling all 14,000 miles of the Pan-American Highway, a feat he completed while nabbing two world records to boot.

An author, a speaker, and a personal friend of England’s Prince Harry, it’s safe to say Dean’s got no shortage of incredible stories from his globetrotting work in protecting the people that matter most, from everyday citizens to the most privileged among us. But what’s the real difference between an SBS Operator and their U.S. counterpart? How does one go about evacuating an entire embassy, alone, under threat of danger? And how exactly does someone manage to cycle the entire length of the American continent in just 99 days? Let’s meet Dean.

  6. why are US SF not called upon during domestic threats, is it just a case The UK police can only handle minimal situations but the US police/SWAT can cover most internal threats ? or is it more formal than that ?, interested to know

  15. Nice interview. The SAS, SBS, and RM Commandos are the words foundation and daddies of SF since WW2. They perfected SF decades befure anyone else. Everyone else is a copy of them.
    Love how he goes along with it and calls it "soccer" or "sarccer" to appease the US audience!!

  24. What dean says about gun control in the UK isn't quite correct. Firstly, ownership isn't limited to shotguns. And for a shotgun certificate, you don't actually need to have a reason (unless they ask but, this isn't part of the application). So barring any criminal convictions or mental health issues anyone can own a shotgun, provided you can store it safely.
    You can also have bolt action rifles, up to pretty much any caliber. But for a firearms certificate, you DO need a valid reason to have it, be it hunting or target shooting etc.

  30. 2 major incidents in the UK impacted firearm ownership and legislation Dunblane and Hungerford. Gun ownership is still legal with certain restrictions. Mainly long rifles and shotguns. Long barrelled pistols only with extensions to the pistol grip. No semi automatics long rifles above .22 calibre. Gun ownership here is not a right it's a privilege and extremely well enforced along with detailed application process.
