We have been hearing and reading many interesting and exciting stories of serving police men. Many people assume that Policeman’s life is not peaceful, not comfortable etc but the writer of “Police, Crime & 999” is stating that those policemen who are involved in catching criminals, drunkards etc are really living an enjoyable life.

The Writer himself has enjoyed “Policeman’s Life” after serving military services.

In this book he has revealed 999 real call stories of comic situations and experiences. He has described the real facts behind the response room of “Call 999”. Readers will really enjoy reading what happens when police considers someone as “suspect” who wears two pairs of socks. After reading this story, you will ask a question ” what is the difference in a Police man and a Vampire?”. Do you know that a Snowman has been charged with allegations of “Nasty behavior in public”? When police raid on Bars, ladies start pulling down their knickers. What do you understand from this?

You will be pleased with this “Real Story” with lot of such interesting and enjoyable incidences.

I think it's quite funny ... especially when it says 'ladies start pulling down their knickers' because whilst there is one tale of that in the book, it makes it sound that women start 'pulling their knickers down' whenever police enter a bar. Alas, this does not happen.
