Firearms and Fatals

An Autobiography of 30 Years Front Line Policing Exposed

De: Sgt Harry Tangye

Narrado por: Harry Tangye

When regaling numerous hilariously funny, some beautifully sad and some utterly tragic accounts from events over 30 years of policing experience, many a friend and colleague of Sergeant Harry Tangye has said, "You just have to write a book!", and so he did.

The author has worked as a frontline police officer in the Devon and Cornwall police with the Armed Response Unit and traffic department for 23 of those 30 years with the others spent on the beat in areas such as Torbay, Exeter, and Plymouth. He was an operational firearms commander, a firearms tactics advisor, a VIP protection officer, and pursuit tactics advisor along with investigating many a fatal road traffic collision being regarded as an expert in his field on many aspects. Allow yourself to be taken along with him on a journey from adventure to adventure, covering all emotions possible, covering how policing was done in the past, to how it is done today.

Harry has tens of thousands of followers on his award-winning police Twitter account, which has allowed him to become an influential voice within policing and politics and is often described as "controversial" by media outlets. He is straight-talking, to the mark, and cannot abide policy for policy sake but prefers the individual and personal aspect on everyday life. "Treat every person you meet as if they were your own mother," he says, "and then you won't go too far wrong."
