Comfort Zone
This is the revealing and inspirational life story of Nick Holmes - a bullied underachiever who left school at 16 with few prospects and went on to make a huge difference in the world. Told with raw honesty, this is one autobiography you will never forget. The author joined the Marines aged 18 but left shortly after to care for his dying father. With little money, prospects and no parents he returned to the military (after a brief interlude in the USA which could have steered him down a very different path). After 5 years' service (3 of which were in N Ireland) he joined the Police and rose rapidly through the ranks and despite the odds and obstacles in his path received national recognition...

Tango Juliet Foxtrot
In thirty years on the front line of British policing, there is very little that Iain Donnelly didn't do: from being a uniformed constable on the beat in London to running counter-terrorism and surveillance operations, combatting child sexual exploitation and overseeing the investigation of the most serious crimes. During that time, he saw the job change irrevocably, to the point where the public no longer knows what to expect from the police and the police service no longer knows what to expect of itself. Tango Juliet Foxtrot – police code for 'the job's fucked' – reveals how constant political meddling and a hostile media narrative have had a devastating impact on the morale of police officers and their ability to protect the public. With the organisation cut by 20,000 officers and 23,000 police staff, only 7 per cent of reported crime now results in a charge – compared with around 20 per cent ten years ago. By turns fascinating and funny, poignant and uplifting, this compelling account paints a vivid picture of what life is really like for those tasked with keeping us safe – and, crucially, explores what needs to change to secure the future of British policing.
Blue
A Sunday Times top-five bestseller 'This is a remarkable book . . . profound and deeply moving . . . It has as much to tell us about mental illness as it does about policing' Alastair Stewart John Sutherland joined the Met in 1992, having dreamed of being a police officer since his teens. Rising quickly through the ranks, he experienced all that is extraordinary about a life in blue: saving lives, finding the lost, comforting the broken and helping to take dangerous people off the streets. But for every case with a happy ending, there were others that ended in desperate sadness, and in 2013 John suffered a major breakdown. Blue is his memoir of crime and calamity, of adventure and achievement, of friendship and failure, of serious illness and slow recovery. With searing honesty, it offers an immensely moving and personal insight into what it is to be a police officer in Britain today.
The Truth About Cops: A Retired Police Officer's Answers to All Your Burning Questions
NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR I have a head full of information, not all of which is useful. It bothers me that the lyrics for Yummy, Yummy, Yummy, I've Got Love in My Tummy are taking up room that could be occupied by something more life-relevant. Still, I've often found myself the person people come to when they want to know something, but aren't sure where to find it, and I enjoy providing that service. Quora is a great outlet for people like me. I stumbled on the site a little more than a year ago, and almost 600 answered questions later, there's enough material for a book. Law enforcement is a passion for me, not for the power trip or the adrenaline rush, but because it can be a truly noble voca...
Beaten Black and Blue
“Defund the police!” is shouted in the streets. A.C.A.B. is spray painted on precinct buildings. Countless citizens believe all police are racists. In this era of civil unrest and political divide, how do Black cops—or any cops—maintain the motivation and commitment to do their job? Former police officer, co-founder of BLEXIT, and Founder and CEO of The Officer Tatum—Brandon Tatum shares his story and the stories of other police officers in the pages of his new book, Beaten Black and Blue. Read why they joined the force, what it’s really like on the streets, and how they continue to fight the good fight. Forget what you think you know and learn the truth!
The Cornish Scoop
The Cornish Scoop is a novel, but I'll be totally honest, there's very little I've had to imagine as I have experienced the majority of the content in this book in my career as a police officer. Treavey is a Cornish police officer who is just out of his probation in 1994 and making it alone in the big wide world of policing. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this very much reflects the time and locations of my own policing experience, so I will leave it up to you which parts are made up and which are true. Remember that life tends to be stranger than fiction! There is a golden thread throughout the story of a major drug smuggling operation into Perranporth, a Cornish seaside town near Newquay, leading...
Policeless
In December 2018 Sergeant Al Robinson retired after 25 undistinguished years in the Thames Valley Police. Obviously, he thought, whatever Adam Kay could do for the NHS, he could do for the police service, only an incy, wincy, tincy bit better, obviously. So, here it is, Al's account as to how Britain became Policeless and how policing became soulless.Take good care of yourselves.
A Duty of Revenge
Twenty years after retiring Hull based Detective Superintendent Matt Darnley decides to ‘tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth’ about his biggest case; his 1998/99 investigation into a gang of ruthless armed robbers, whose crimes escalate into kidnap and murder.
Cop in the Hood
When Harvard-trained sociologist Peter Moskos left the classroom to become a cop in Baltimore's Eastern District, he was thrust deep into police culture and the ways of the street--the nerve-rattling patrols, the thriving drug corners, and a world of poverty and violence that outsiders never see. In Cop in the Hood, Moskos reveals the truths he learned on the midnight shift. Through Moskos's eyes, we see police academy graduates unprepared for the realities of the street, success measured by number of arrests, and the ultimate failure of the war on drugs. In addition to telling an explosive insider's story of what it is really like to be a police officer, he makes a passionate argument for drug legalization as the only realistic way to end drug violence--and let cops once again protect and serve. In a new afterword, Moskos describes the many benefits of foot patrol--or, as he calls it, "policing green."
