Then & Now (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781922727688)

After serving eighteen years in the Western Australia Police Force, Simon's story is a 'warts' and all', raw and honest insight into working as an operator in the Tactical Response Group. Whether policing the city streets, being involved in hostage situations or riots, from which Simon didn't always come out unscathed, these memorable incidents are written from Simon's personal experience and perspective. That was back Then.

Now, as a private security contractor, Simon recounts working overseas, running 'Route Irish' in Baghdad, chasing illegal miners deep underground in the mines of Africa, and training security personnel to stay alive while doing their job.

Written in true 'cop speak', this book is largely politically incorrect, sometimes confronting, the language definitely colourful, the stories all true and very real.
