In Cops and Horrors: Uncut Tales from the Frontline, Matt Calveley offers an up close and personal view into the life of a dedicated officer serving in one of the biggest police forces in the world.

Highly decorated, Matt lived a varied career, meaning he is able to give readers an eye-opening insight into the job from all angles. On the Met’s frontline, he fought violent criminals, arrested hundreds, dealt with horrific death scenes every day- and got bitten by a squirrel monkey called Clive. Matt served as custody Sergeant, provided jury protection during a huge corruption trial, and qualified as a mass fatality specialist.

In Cops and Horrors, he reveals how he:

Discovered sickening photographs at a crash scene that led to a child rapist being jailedWorked undercover in the Met’s massive surveillance operation to catch Mardi Gras bomber Edgar PearceExpertly broke into Paul Daniel’s car after the late magician locked his keys inside itNicked a bent ‘Santa’ driving a stolen limo after a high-speed Christmas morning road chaseFought a machete-wielding maniacWas mistaken as a stripper after hitching a lift to an emergency in a limo packed with tipsy hen party revellers

Matt also gives an unprecedented, detailed account of law enforcement on London’s roads. From dealing with arrogant motorists, catching drink drivers and facing catastrophic road deaths, to white-knuckle car chases and painstakingly reconstructing crash scenes, Matt has seen – and survived – it all.
