Tony Long was the best 'shot' the Met ever had. Under the codename
'Echo 7', he was 'licenced to kill' bringing down scores of
targets, sometimes with deadly force. In 1985 he opened fire on a
suspect to save a four-year-old girl whose mother had been stabbed
to death by her assailant. Two years later he was involved in
another high profile shooting while confronting three armed
criminals. On both occasions Tony was commended by the Metropolitan
Police Commissioner. But in the spring of 2005, coming face to face
with suspected drug dealer and armed robber Azelle Rodney, a volley
of point blank shots would bring his career crashing to an end,
tarnish his reputation and leave him fighting a murder charge and
possible life sentence. From life or death cases and botched
operations to political fallouts, this book charts the
controversial career from rookie seventies beat cop to Long's
command of SO19 - the Met's most elite specialist firearms unit.
Long's personal testimony and professional insight raises serious
issues about the duties, pressures and responsibilities that fall
on the shoulders of those we task to risk their lives, and take the
lives of others, in our name.
