Curious Chats and Kind Acts

The truth about life as a copper with Ian

Listen on

Episode notes

Welcome to curious chats, how are you? I say curious chats as I got a little carried away with all the drama today and only mention kindness at the end, so sorry about that, but what a great chat! We hear from Ian about joining the police force in the 90’s so that he could play more rugby! Through to him becoming an inspector in CID. He shares stories about drugs coming up the Thames in a submarine, his near death experiences and the risk a police officer takes when they pick up their firearm - not only that they may need to shoot and kill someone, but dealing with the aftermath of being suspended and investigated. I certainly see the police in a different light now.  

So I hope you enjoy this one, and a massive thanks to all of our serving officers across the country, I will certainly be trying to be kinder to police officers in future (not that I come across them that often!)
