But those in authority, as well as friends, said it was a bad idea and having left school with insufficient qualifications, his chances of a police career didn't look promising.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis one hope was to pass the national entrance exam. If only it had been that simple. As well as having an issue with self-confidence plus an ever-present threat of sight loss in one eye, the odds were overwhelmingly against him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccording to Law, the final three words of the Police Oath of office, is the tale of how a 1950s schoolboy with a seemingly hopeless ambition, later progressed through personal discipline to achieve his goal of becoming a policeman and subsequently an experienced detective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis take on investigations into drug dealing, professional burglaries, armed robbery and ultimately state terrorism, provides a fascinating insight into three decades of crime and policing from the late sixties through to the early noughties.
