Review
An excellent set of stories, and a very well narrated book. The police women featured serve to remind that courage and street smarts are not the exclusive preserve of male colleagues.

Real stories from women on the frontline
Another great read by Alice. Having served on the frontline, I love how Alice is able to recreate the all too familiar emotions that go hand in hand with each account from the officers. It is cathartic to hear these experiences, and serves as a great reminder of all of the females in the Police service across the UK. Looking forward to her next venture.

the realism of the accounts
excellent account of everyday policing in the present time. Evidence of lack of resources all the time, resulting in putting the Officers in even more danger

Not that great
I liked the idea of this true crime story but was left feeling a bit short changed.
Not as good as it is advertised to be
