Mike Sabin has been a very busy man. He joined the NZ Police in 1996 and was stationed in Auckland and up north.

He specialised in drug enforcement, especially methamphetamine, (otherwise known as P).

He was one of the first specialised Clandestine Drug Laboratory task force members responsible for investigating and dismantling illicit P labs.

In 2006 he established MethCon Group, concentrating on meth education and policy.

In 2011 he entered Parliament as the National MP for Northland.

Since 2019 Mike has owned and operated a private investigations business with six investigators in total.

To say that this summary is just scratching the surface is an understatement.
