The Lanarkshire Police Chronicles by George Barnsley

The Lanarkshire Police Chronicles by George Barnsley

George Barnsley traces 150 years of police service to Lanarkshire, providing a fitting tribute to all of the uniformed officers who swore an oath to protect their neighbours and their communities. George relates how crimes were solved in Lanarkshire and the surrounding areas from pre-WWI to the 1980s. Written from the perspective of an experienced officer, this collection of reports provides an important insight into crime and policing as it attempts to chronicle the violent attacks to which officers were subjected by aggressive suspects and detail how criminals used their wits to avoid arrest. Featuring crimes from robbery to murder and uncovering tales of criminal families and scorned lovers, the stories reinforce the important of community, which, time and again, comes together to help the police, then and now.

George Barnsley has achieved the rank of Superintendent and worked with the Association of Chief Police Officers for Scotland at the Scottish Police College prior to his retirement in 2010. He has worked in the local Criminal Investigation Department and simultaneously served with the Serious Crime Squad. Since his retirement, he has established a training and consultancy company to deliver investigation training to UK-based organizations that investigate criminality, delivered investigation training throughout the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, and has found time to provide expert advice to television productions including In Plain Sight, Deadwater Fell, and Shetland.
