“Policing is a uniquely dangerous, harrowing and challenging profession where officers are expected to do far more than prevent and detect crime. To be a police officer is also to be a social worker, marriage guidance counsellor, mental health worker and medic.”
Offering incredible true stories from the front line of policing, The Coppers' Lot is a compelling insight into what it takes to be a police officer in Britain in the 21st century. The extraordinary experiences recounted include:
Taking readers on a ride along with the exceptional men and women who have sacrificed so much whilst protecting and serving their communities, these officers reveal, often in their own words, just how much policing has changed from the traditional notion of the bobby on the beat.
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
This book tells the stories of Police Officers, who have put themselves in harms way, for society and the terrible way that they are repaid. Exploring everything from physical harm and death, through to lack of care for Officers in need and unfair disciplinary action and even prosecution, the author guides us through the dark side of the Coppers' lot. This is a collection of real-life experiences of serving UK Police Officers, who have been badly let down, by the very society that they have devoted themselves to. The author's own experiences and knowledge of the subject matter, means that he has really got to the essence of each of these, harrowing, stories. In a world where the mainstream media seldom have a good word for our heroes in the thin blue line, this book provides a voice for a handful of the thousands of Police Officers who have been let down. Superb book and a must read for anyone who worries about the future of policing.
To declare an interest one of the chapters is about my daughter and her partner who sadly died. That chapter I thought was a wonderful tribute to the girls. The other chapters moved me to tears in some cases and brought it home to me as a member of public how dangerous the daily task is and worse how badly supported officers are by there chain of command. The examples of bad management of both physical and mental health conditions should bring same on the leadership of some forces. I did not enjoy the book but could not put it down it was gripping to the end and I commend all those who allowed there stories to be told
