About this product
Product Information
Bob Dixon spent years "on the Beat" as a police constable in the Metropolitan Police Force in the early 1960s, witnessing all manner of incidents, from the serious to the ludicrous. Spending the majority of his time in London's infamous East end dealing with drunks, fatalities on the road, domestic disputes, and even suicides, as well as policing at major public events such as Guy Fawkes night, New Year's Eve, and anti-Vietnam War marches, life was colorful and varied, if not always safe. This memoir of a real-life London copper charts Bob Dixon's experiences as a young police officer before he joined the CID. The book covers his life before joining the Force, his rigorous training, the vagaries of first patroling the Beat, the numerous accounts both sad and funny of crime fighting in the capital, the lighter side of policing, and how he feels the police force has changed since the 60s. Offering unique insights into a world many of us do not feel comfortable entering, Bobby on the Beat uncovers what life is really like for those brave few who help keep the streets safe.

I've been a buyer of comics 10+ years. This was the worst experience with the items condition/seller. Terrible communication from the seller. I highly do not recommend this seller. The condition of the book was "very good", the pages edges are dirty/brown, the dust cover is not in good condition. First time ever trying to do a return. Bought, free shipping. Return i have to pay more then half what the book was worth for shipping. Tryed reaching out, seller will not respond. Very Disappointed 👎
