Product Description

Product Description

This is the story of the daily life of a police officer on the beat in a rural market town on the North West coast of England.

Police Constable Tom Springfield is a family man who voluntarily transfers from a busy industrial town to the rural police force of Denby.

Unlike in the big town he realises that he will no longer be a faceless number, but a familiar figure to the locals in the town, something he welcomes heartily.

He quickly learns to adjust as his daily duties include dealing with the drunks, thieves, death and dragons….


The stories in the book are all based on true life and death incidents experienced by the author during his time on the beat. All identities have been sufficiently changed in order to protect the guilty, as well as the innocent.

So Funny 25 Jan 2012
Format:Paperback
I enjoyed reading all about Tom, the stories he told of his every day life on the beat had me laughing so much,(the dragon)I could not stop laughing,it gave a real insight into what the police do everyday,the funny side but also the sad side. Sometimes as you are reading you can picture yourself there.A book that once you start reading you can not put down. Would recommend.

The story is a fascinating memoir of thoroughly warm-hearted Tom, a local 'bobby on the beat' based in the North-west during the 70s. It was most enjoyable and a very easy read. Written with plenty of humour, focussing on a range of interesting characters and incidents. It often got me laughing out loud! It also reminded me of how the local communities were so well served in those days - and its not so long ago! Can't wait till there's a follow-up and maybe a film series?

WOW 21 Jan 2012

Well what can I say? This book was surprisingly good and was left wide open for a follow on which I can't wait to read.

I found the characters believable and funny, I wanted to carry on reading more!

Some of the stories were hilarious and it gave a real insight into the working life and home life of a copper!

If I had one criticism it would be that I would have like to have heard more about Tom's family and the impact his job had on them.

Brilliant read, would recommend to anyone.
