Synopsis "The Good, The Bad and The Crafty: A Police Autobiography from the Robust 1970s to the Millennium (in English)"
After serving in the Royal Navy, Paul joined the Cheshire Police, initial training, uniform, and plain clothes duties followed by the Divisional CID. Stories from the period, which include CID politics! This was followed by secondment to the No 1 Regional Crime Squad (RCS), advanced driver, and surveillance training. Undercover work on the biggest police drugs operation in the Northwest at the time.Returning to uniform duties as a sergeant at Macclesfield and Wilmslow for 15 months, before another secondment to the RCS as a detective sergeant. Again, he dealt with serious crimes, including murders. The day before the Berlin Wall came down a young girl was kidnapped from a school playing field gaining national publicity. He worked on this job alone and recovered the little girl.Returning to leafy Cheshire, well, Warrington! He set up Operation Granite, the most important and successful operation of its kind at the time, looking into child abuse at care homes.More horrendous paedophile and murder arrests. All is written with a strong sense of cynicism and humour, enabling the story to flow comfortably from humorous anecdotes to heart-rending sadness. All involving the good, the bad, and the crafty.
