Dismissed With Thanks

By V M Frost

The end of Mowing It When I like; the third in the Wellington Boots series, left the author - having just transferred from Thames Valley Police, to the Metropolitan Police - in the austere accommodation of Brentford's Heartbreak Hotel.This true story is taken up again during his first days as a Met officer in the borough of Hounslow, West London. The author had been busy enough in his last police area, but was soon to find that policing the nation's capital would be a different thing entirely. Waiting, would be gang warfare, stabbings, the joys of policing football matches and the seemingly endless demonstrations and protests - some violent, and some peaceful - but draining, nevertheless. Yet to come, were armed robbers, the shit pit that is the Notting Hill Carnival, the extreme front line during the London riots of 2011, the London Olympics, and being part of a task force with the remit of planning and carrying out early morning raids.
