Planet Police: Never a dull moment policing the streets of Britain (True Stories Book 27) ... By Natalie Vellacott


Natalie Vellacott worked in Sussex Police for almost a decade, during which time she investigated almost every type of crime from traffic offences, thefts and minor assaults to burglaries, rape and murder.

These revealing and often humorous stories from the frontline of policing address the questions Natalie is most frequently asked as a former "cop": what is the worst incident you dealt with? the funniest? the craziest? the most serious? She also shares personal life experiences, showing how these impacted the way she dealt with issues that arose in police work.

A fascinating read; hard to put down!



OUR REVIEW

Have you ever wondered what the police really think and do in all those crazy and/or wild situations that we hear about? Planet Police: Never a dull moment policing the streets of Britain! (True Stories Book 27) by Natalie Vellacott gives us the inside scoop. Natalie became an officer while just nineteen, but I felt while reading this book her maturity was way beyond her age. She gives us some highlights from the many departments during her years on the force, some good and funny and some that were a bit sad.

At first I found it a tiny bit hard to related to the humor of the  towns and counties that Vellacott was describing, but easily fell into the flow of the story. Training was hard and demanding, but came into good use as some of the incidents the officers came upon were quite astounding. From six year olds damaging cars, teens "borrowing" stolen furniture, child abuse, death and rapid promotions, working on the force began to take it's toll.

Author Vellacott reveals the inside turmoil and events that lead up to a major decision in her life. Curious about the "inner circle" of officers and detectives, this is a must read for you.
