A book about my time in the metropolitan police and selection and operations on CO19
This book is a recollection of some of the experiences I had at Hendon police training school and some incidents I witnessed or was involved in whilst on routine patrols or armed operations. It’s also a mixture of insights into police training, the rigorous CO19 selection and subsequent courses and also some instances that made me laugh, some that were extremely upsetting and some that caused me great anxiety and stress.
In some parts I might come across as aggressive, intolerant or angry but if so then that is most likely what my feelings were at the time given the particular situation and I really want to take you, the reader, on the rollercoaster of genuine emotions I feel would be shared by most people in similar circumstances represented in this book.
