About this listen

When regaling numerous hilariously funny, some beautifully sad and some utterly tragic accounts from events over 30 years of policing experience, many a friend and colleague of Sergeant Harry Tangye has said, "You just have to write a book!", and so he did.

The author has worked as a frontline police officer in the Devon and Cornwall police with the Armed Response Unit and traffic department for 23 of those 30 years with the others spent on the beat in areas such as Torbay, Exeter, and Plymouth. He was an operational firearms commander, a firearms tactics advisor, a VIP protection officer, and pursuit tactics advisor along with investigating many a fatal road traffic collision being regarded as an expert in his field on many aspects. Allow yourself to be taken along with him on a journey from adventure to adventure, covering all emotions possible, covering how policing was done in the past, to how it is done today.

Harry has tens of thousands of followers on his award-winning police Twitter account, which has allowed him to become an influential voice within policing and politics and is often described as "controversial" by media outlets. He is straight-talking, to the mark, and cannot abide policy for policy sake but prefers the individual and personal aspect on everyday life. "Treat every person you meet as if they were your own mother," he says, "and then you won't go too far wrong."

An insight into to one policeman's life

Very interesting insight into being a copper in the UK. Sad to hear of the stupidity of the rules they have to work within.

Hilarious and insightful

This book was hilarious and I found myself nodding along with the common sense he speaks. An absolute breath of fresh air in an era of political correctness gone mad.

The truth may hurt people who don't understand

Truthful and fair assessment of policing and the job they do with one hand tied behind their back by the government and press

Great insight Into policing

This book really gives a great insight into policing in the UK. It is interesting, at parts heavy and gritty but also funny and light hearted in others. Also discusses some big political and social issues within policing and society and gives a different perspective.

Thank you Harry

I really enjoyed this book, I always wish I had joined the police when I was young.
The world seems to be against the police hitting them with knives in the back.
It’s refreshing having a inside look at what officers go through everyday, in the role as a police officer.
I also listened to fabulous Finn first that’s a brilliant book too and so is Finn and Dave. I hope there will be another book Harry xxx

Great and honest book

Loved this book from a man that has given his service to us for 30 years, I really liked that he talked about his childhood and how this drove him to do this career in the first place. The policing years where really interesting and I liked the honesty about about how it really in on the thin blue line. Great book for anyone that's interested in the subject.

Great insight to the police

Sgt Tangye has many stories of his long career. I now have a better idea of life for a British police officer

Sleepy hollow police service.

Couldn't fault it. Well put together with humour in the right places. A mixture of Harrys career, policing at the moment, firearm incidents and RTC's. Thanks.
