The Musings of a Retired Policeman by Alan Hale

Alan Hale was a policeman for 31 years from 1966-1997. The Musings of a Retired Policeman shares the social history of his childhood and his personal development towards a career in the police force. After leaving education, he entered the police service as a cadet, but came close to being a 'suspect for a burglary' but eventually entered the police service as a warranted police officer. Enjoy his adventures, challenges and the stresses of being involved in two full scale riots as well as incidents involving knives and guns. He also describes his working life and several jobs after the police force including making a violent citizen's arrest. Alan Hale's engaging biography describes the life of a normal married man with a family who like every other officer in the country confronted unknown risks and put his life on the line every day.

Follow a young police recruit developing into an experienced and skilled police officer, glimpse also a sense of the societal changes over the decadesThe author speaks directly to the reader and the content will remain with them long after they turn the last page; Reverend Christopher Roberts.

Alan Hale is a family man who has spent the majority of his adult life serving the community he lives in either in his role as a serving police officer or in charity and community service activities including twenty years as a district councillor. He doesn't claim to be a practical man and when asked whether he has any allergies he will usually respond by saying, decorating, DIY and gardening. His skills are in leadership, organisation and advanced driving. Despite all of his interests he dearly loves his close family which includes his wife Jane, two daughters and five grandchildren. He has a regret and that is that he was never a 'get down on the floor and play' type dad or bamp (granddad, the Welsh influence on Jane's side of the family). He hopes that they will forgive him for that.
