Access The Future Of Modern Policing: Ashes To Ashes Presented By Gene Hunt Provided As Digital
good read, not for nonces Ok this book is totally tongue in cheek, its in bad taste and politically incorrect and perfect for what it is,
The book has been written from DCI Gene hunts perspective He was based on a character from a set of TV series
Life on Mars based in thes and Ashes to Ashes in thes DO NOT CONFUSE WITH THE US version
The character is with out tact or modesty or in fact any social skills, however what he does believe in is his job.
So the book its hard to describe and to be honest unfair to describe unless you have seem the TV series which is excellent and I cannot recommend enough however be warned it can be tricky to follow and I think the crassness and base humour is a way of easing the frustration you feel at times trying to keep up.
So yes this is a book written in character know your character and know the book, I enjoyed but then again I loved the TV shows, "Once upon a time coppers were heroes nowadays, telling someone you're on the force is likely to get you in as much trouble as dipping your tadger in the punch at a Royal Garden Party.
"
Policing in the seventies was simple: when a crime was committed you tracked a nearby blagger, 'persuaded' him to confess and sent him off for a good long stretch.
Simple. Sadly, policing in the eighties is a completely different kettle of fish, In fact, it's a whole different kettle of shoulderpadsporting, bouffanthaired, foundationcaked, cokesnorting, racerioting career criminals,
For your average bobby on the beat The Rules of Modern Policing are simply no longer enough, Thankfully, however, DCI Gene Hunt is once again on hand to help his fellow officers, and so we have The Future of Modern Policing, Packed full advice for all ranks, this an invaluable policing manual in which the Gene Genie discusses all the new issues facing the Met riots, forensics, political correctness whatever the hell that is, IT, drugs and advanced interrogation techniques that you just might be able to persuade the judge are legal.
There are also some practical exercises at the end of each chapter, including a helpful 'Spot the Drug Addict' picture quiz, so, even if you really don't know your arse from your elbow, you can at least learn to blag it.
Gene Hunt may not be the most modern copper in the Met but he isn't a fool either, If you want to be one of the Mets top dogs, maybe you should buy his book, eh,
