Memoirs of a Reluctant Copper

About the Book

This book gives a brief history of the author in an attempt to highlight the trigger points that lead to a career as a detective in the London Metropolitan Police. There follows descriptions of the issues that this somewhat opinionated man had to negotiate. The investigation of rape and all the issues that are experienced by all parties involved is then described in full. The last chapter is an indulgence.

About the Author

The author was born in St Andrews in Scotland in 1961 of English parents, both of whom were in the RAF. The first ten years were spent flitting from one country to the next before settling in Zimbabwe to complete school and mature into a fully functioning person. In 1983, he returned to England with the person who was to become his wife. They both did whatever they had to do to survive the first year (always legal). In 1987, he joined the Metropolitan Police until retirement in 2017. He lives in London with his wife of thirty-one years.
