Book Review: Police, Crime & 999

By Clare Bourke on November 21st 2011

What really happens behind the scenes in the police? A new book by a police office living on the Hertfordshire border could hold the answers.

After a career as a Commissioned Officer in the Armed Forces and then a decade in business, John Donoghue was bored.

So, in his mid 40s he left his high paid job and started all over again by joining the police. His book Police, Crime & 999 – The True Story of a Front Line Office, is based on a year in his life as a front line officer and offers humorous insights and intriguing episodes that shed new light on the police force.

Unfortunately John can not reveal which force his observations are based on but this is a fun book that will bring a smile to your face as you realise some of the things you thought might happen, actually do happen.

Police, Crime & 999 by John Donoghue; published by Matador; priced £9.99; ISBN 9781848766853
