George Raven served as a police officer in Essex for thirty years,
rising to the rank of Detective Superintendent. In this
autobiography he looks back on a colourful career, recounting
stories of fascinating manhunts, gruesome murders, violent
encounters and heart-rending tragedies - as well as plenty of
amusing and not-so-amusing incidents as he worked alongside
officers who ranged from the excellent to the incompetent. Raven's
conclusion in retirement is that police recruitment standards and
performance have deteriorated alarmingly over the years, while
public perception and trust now stands at its lowest since the
British police force was founded. In this entertaining account of
his life in the force, he examines the reasons and challenges
politicians to address the serious problems facing the police in
the 21st century. 'Politicians pass more and more laws, dream up
more and more regulations and issue more and more directives to the
police, to tie their hands and make enforcing both the good and the
ridiculous laws they pass an almost impossible task.'
