Robert Lambert joined the Metropolitan Police in 1977 and transferred to Metropolitan Police Special Branch in 1980. Robert worked continuously as a specialist counter-terrorist, counter-extremist intelligence officer, gaining operational experience of all forms of violent political threats to the UK, from Irish republican to the many strands of international terrorism that include what may now best be described as the al-Qaida movement. One common denominator in all the many and varied terrorist recruitment strategies he has witnessed over the years is the exploitation of a sense of political injustice amongst susceptible youth.
In January 2002, together with a Special Branch colleague Robert set up the Muslim Contact Unit (MCU), with the purpose of establishing partnerships with Muslim community leaders both equipped and located to help tackle the spread of al-Qaida propaganda in London. This role enabled him to participate in some pioneering and successful counter-terrorism community engagement projects. It has also provided Robert with opportunities to support Muslim community groups when they have faced Islamophobic attacks.
Robert will retire from the MPS at the end of 2007 but will continue to work with police by providing expert input to national counter-terrorism training courses. He will also continue to support Muslim community initiatives aimed at overcoming Islamophobia.

In October 2005 Robert embarked on a parallel project, researching key aspects of MCU partnership experience, for a PhD at the University of Exeter (due for completion 2008). This follows a recent path of mixed practitioner / academic activity: in 2004 he was awarded a distinction for his MA dissertation on early modern English encounters with Islam at Birkbeck College, University of London; and in 2002, 1 st class honours for an inter-disciplinary European cultural history BA at the Open University.
In January 2008 Robert commences work on a radicalisation research project headed by Dr. Jonathan Githens-Mazer at the University of Exeter. This project will draw on Robert’s practitioner experience and will explore the significance of political grievances for Muslims in the UK, France and Spain with North African family backgrounds. He will also be contributing to a research project examining Muslim community and police engagement headed by Dr. Basia Spalek at the University of Birmingham.
