This well-written, entertaining and very funny book was written by a British Bobby, PC Stuart Davidson, formerly of the Staffordshire Police, about 'Newtown' (actually Burton upon Trent). He had to do his blog, on which this book and a sequel "Wasting More Police Time," are based, under a pen name to protect his job. Eventually the brass figured out who he was, but by then he was ready to move to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, where he is a much happier cop. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_David_Copperfield). It was recommended by British psychiatrist Anthony Daniels (writing as Theodore Dalrymple). Daniels was carrying a copy when he ran into two plainclothes officers. They told him it was a great book. He asked how much was true. "Every word," they replied. This is policing in progressive Britain, where the Bobbies spend 90% of their time doing paperwork to CYA senior officers, filing administrative "detections," and enforcing political correctness, diversity and multiculturalism. The rest they get to spend catching bad guy who get slapped on the wrist or ever in preventing crime. It is a cautionary tale for us. Well worth your time.Robert A. Hall

I'm a high school teacher and I recommend this book to students who are wanting to join the police force.
Started out funny, got old real fast. Some appalling attitudes, and this is coming from a fellow (but U.S.) law enforcement officer. Large chunks of this were repeats of previous sections and could have been left out. The first third is worth it; skip the rest.
Cleverly written and very amusing I did not want to stop reading wasting police time`I am looking forward to p`c`Copperfields next book thanks for the insight
I expected more detail, I think. Still, good reading, especially because it's in the UK. Enlightening to the bobbys in England.
I enjoyed it, my husband loved it.
There is little to add to James Simpson's review from 2008 except to say that this book is part description of day-to-day police adventures and part analysis of problems with British policing. The discussions of the latter tend to get a bit repetitious. Non-British readers will enjoy the author's comparisons of British policing with that of American and Canadian policing (he is now a policeman in Canada). The book is extremely politically incorrect; that's much of its charm for many of us but be warned if that's not your cup of tea.
This book overturned many misconceptions I had about British law enforcement. British cops are not racist, in fact they bend over too much to avoid offending people. The prisons are not uncomfortable places (fellow inmates aside), they are as cozy as a cheap hotel. The law isn't harsh on criminals, but gives them lenient sentences that fails to deter criminality. In the endless debate about police brutality and corruption, you rarely hear much from the police themselves.
