Almost Every Officer Is Going

My Day Starts With Radio 4's Today Live Or 'listen Again' Wherever I Am In The World, Thanks To Digital Radio - I Even Have An App On My Iphone That Receives It.

If You And I Took A Walk Down A Shopping Street In Jo'burg Or Cape Town Or London, We See Two Guys Looking In A Shop Window, We Think, "oh, They're Wondering What They're Going To Buy." A Cop Looks At Them And Thinks, "why Are They Standing There? Are They Doing A Drug Deal? Are They Going To Mug Someone? Are They Going To Rob The Shop?"

We're Full Of Electricity, And The Walls And Floor Of A Building Contain Carbon - The Same Makeup As A Video Tape - And I Think We Give Off A Huge Amount Of Energy. Some People Are Able To See That And Pick That Up. I Think Almost Every Person I've Met In My Life Has Had Some Sort Of Experience That They Can't Explain, And Those Fascinate Me.

A News Junkie, I Read, Daily, The 'times/sunday Times,' The 'guardian/observer,' 'mail,' And The 'argus' - Both To Keep Up With Crime In Brighton, Where I Set My Novels, And Because I Think It Is Vital To Support Local Papers - They Provide A Unique Accountability For Councils, Emergency Services And So Much Else, And Are Dangerously Undervalued.

I Think The Police Are A Major Part Of The Glue That Holds Civilised Life Together. They're Not Highly Paid.
