Robin Bailey Offers Insider's Look Into Police Work

Melbourne, Australia

Robin Bailey talks about his long-serving career as a police officer and the challenges and triumphs that came with the job in his new book, "So! You Wanna Be a Police Officer, Eh?" (published by Xlibris AU). Bailey's autobiography will let readers see beyond the badge and uniform and glimpse the lives of real people navigating their way through the front lines of law enforcement.

Bailey joined the police force in Victoria when he was just 22 years old. In the next 29 years, he rose through the ranks, becoming chief inspector and expert consultant for complex cases. He would cross paths with dangerous criminals and interact with members of the United Nations Police. Bailey's journey also came with its own set of pitfalls as he became embroiled in several life-changing and life-threatening situations. In his book, he talks about all these with equal measures of candor, humor and clear-minded common sense.

"I want to write my story so that my children will understand what I faced in my policing career," Bailey says, "It is also an opportunity for serving and aspiring police officers to learn to laugh at themselves."

"So! You Wanna Be a Police Officer, Eh?" will appeal to both serving and aspiring police officers and anyone interested in a rare insider's look into the ins and outs of law enforcement. It is insightful, startling, brutally honest and, most of all, it is true.
