Perverting the Course of Justice: The Hilarious and Shocking Inside Story of British Policing - Monday Books

Police Honesty

This is an extremely frank and open account of modern policing and a must for anyone wishing to know how police are directed to spend their time and your money! Its just a shame that those in power are not this honest and then we really might start getting change for the better. A really interesting read.

Anonymity allows true colours to be revealed

If you are a card carrying member of the serial appologist brigade, you will love this book. It will justify all those difficult situations like De Menezes, Sean Rigg, Tomlinson et al.

However, if you have any questions as to why so many people have died in custody or experienced any misconduct by a boy in blue, it will have you seething. Three times I have said to myself that I will not continue to read this facist, arrogant neanderthal tripe. Now I have a pencil tucked into the book and I comment as I go along. I have snapped the lead several times but at least I can satisfy myself that I have done my best to understand the psychology of our modern police force.

No wonder Inspector Gadget writes under a pseudonym.

Great insight

After having read "Wasting Police Time" and as a serving officer I was looking forward to another truthful insight of modern British Policing. I was not disappointed, Inspector Gadget is obviously of the same opinion of the job as I am and it is a welcome change for someone of rank to have experienced the same problems and issues as I do on a daily basis.
A great read for any officer and an interesting read for anyone else interested in how the police service actually works

Good book, shame it's so true...

Have read 'Wasting Police Time' and this is equally as entertaining. Was very interesting to hear the take on things from somebody a bit higher up in the ranks. Some hilarious (and saddening!) stories to remind us all of just how ridiculous our justice system is

You're Nicked My Son

We've had Dave Copperfields book (and excellent blog), then Diary of an On-Call Girl, now the Inspector has called (hee hee - soz couldn't resist). Another sideways look at the world of the modern Police Force but this time from higher up the ranks, very well written and it's interesting to see the story told from the bosses view. He still describes the madeningly frustrating world they have to Police and the ridiculous constraints put on our Force by the powers that be. Read it, you won't be disspointed.
