Policeman’s Patrol

Description

Harry Cole's thirty years as a police constable with the Southwark force gave him ample opportunity to observe the extremes of human behavior, and the result has been his bestselling book about life on the beat. This fourth collection of stories is as funny and serious as ever. With his unerring eye for the amusing detail and human foible he describes some of the bizarre everyday incidents of his daily patrol; gives some hilarious insights into life behind the scenes in the forces; and provides a copper's eye view of events such as the nurses' Day of Action when PC Cole ended up holding the baby, the Great Gargle Search for IRA ammunition which instead turned up some unexpected items, and the New Year celebrations in Trafalgar Square where merriment turned to tragedy.
