varied as team dynamics and how to be accepted by your new gang;
why the police does the bizarre things it does; why the public does
the bizarre things they do; fisticuffs not taught at Training
School; confrontation; breaking bad news; the media and when to
ignore it; how to deal with stress, sleepless nights and people who
want to be arrested (oh, and punched); getting promoted and doing
well on courses; the lure of patrol car romances; drug ODs which
aren't drug ODs; decision-making when it's all going wrong;
avoiding complaints; firearms incidents; non-supporting DV victims
that really need supporting; quick-time searches involving dogs and
air support; people suffering dementia, behavioural problems,
excited delirium or even threatening to throw themselves from high
buildings; house fires; deaths following police contact; rail
suicides; high-risk MISPERS; giving evidence in court (and the
tricks barristers play); and just how you should be reacting when
your crewmate batters someone in front of you ... this book is the
ultimate boiling down of experience from the 'seen it, done it and
still generally amused by it' frontline skipper as he hands in his

How To Survive Your Police Career - A Practical Guide To Health For
The 24/7 Bobby And Bobbie And, something for the partners of
officers ... How To Survive Your Relationship With A Police Officer
- A Practical Guide To Living With Your Bobby Or Bobbie
In this revised 2022 edition, recently retired Police Sergeant
Darren Moor offers practical but humorous advice to Bobbies on how
to maintain their health in such a bizarre job. Written as a
follow-on to his How To Survive Your Early Years In The Police
Service for newer officers, Darren now turns his attention to the
needs of the seasoned Bobby in this book crammed with useful
information on how best to sleep, eat and exercise on 24/7 shifts,
avoid infection and injury, how to maintain good mental health and
relationships - especially after trauma, ethnic, female and good
sexual health, fire and water safety, acid attacks, happiness,
social media, eyesight and even teeth care. Written in an
irreverent, often mocking, style but combined with detailed medical
information, and making use of help from experts in their field,
this is the ideal book for the Bobby who wants to survive their
career. Also in this series. The precursor to this book ... How To
Survive Your Early Years In The Police Service - Tips, Tactics and
Humour For The Probationer And Beyond And something for the
partners of officers ... How To Survive Your Relationship With A
Police Officer - A Practical Guide To Living With Your Bobby Or
Bobbie
In this light-hearted but informative book, recently retired
Sergeant Darren Moor draws on his thirty years of service and
twenty years of marriage to explain to new partners of police
officers just what they have let themselves in for ... Designed as
a companion to the book for officers, How To Survive Your Police
Career, it provides an insight into the reality of your partner's
working life and pressures whilst offering practical advice on
issues such as sleeping, mental health, nutrition, exercise,
stress, relationships and the danger of affairs, avoiding
infections, disastrous social media use, trauma, complaints and how
to help your Bobby - or Bobbie - through all kinds of other
difficulties. It's also a useful source of general medical
information for both the officer and partner. Funny, whilst
hard-hitting, it's the ideal book for any partner wishing to
maintain a solid relationship with their Bobby and so avoid that
policing cliche of 'join the force and get a divorce'. It's also a
helpful guide for other family members. Also in this series.
