Stop and Search, Police Hawk on the Perch

The author served as a front-line officer in the Metropolitan Police from 1978 to 2008. Through a blend of poetry, short stories, and personal reflections, this book offers a vivid, unfiltered account of his life, experiences, and the gritty realities he encountered. This is not an objective, pleasant account of a fairy-tale existence, but an honest exploration of a world filled with humour, pathos, and violence, capturing the raw, hard-hitting truths of life on the front line.
