WEST AUSTRALIANA Autobiography Police -"'Frontline policing' combines material from from the author's previous books, 'Mister Bob' and 'On the beat and in the bush', first published as limited editions by Access Press in 1996 and 1998 ; which have been reviewed and with new material added, pres…ented as an omnibus edition"For almost 17 of his 36-year service as a member of the W.A. Police, Robert (Bob) Primrose worked in the outback; the country and suburban Perth â" mostly alone, as others of his time usually did.If you want to read about corrupt police; gory murders; or clever detectives solving unsolvable crimes then look elsewhere. This thought provoking anthology is about the humane side of policing. It provides readers with true life examples of some of the many challenges first response police deal with daily on the frontline of the service. It is about discipline and responsibility; integrity and compassion; about keeping things in perspective. In short (to use a police parlance) about an officer âjust doing his jobâ with the resources available to him.Bobâs memoir, Frontline Policing: On the beat and in the Bush (with Mister Bob), is a mainly light-hearted account of how life can be for a young policeman, âjust doing his jobâ in (at times) difficult and dangerous conditions; walking the fine line between being a good community member whilst upholding his responsibilities as a serving police officer. 252 p. : ill., map, ports. ; 21 cm. #310325 Primrose, Robert (Bob) Police -- Western Australia -- Biography Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
