“stink pig” A memoir by
fraser james
Hello, my name is Fraser James.
I must have been crazy to join a police force that had no guns, no badges and no sirens on their patrol cars.
In my first 3 months I saw so much blood from violent confrontations I became completely desensitised to it.
I would like to invite you to read some of my experiences in the New Zealand Police Force back in the crazy 70’s.
In the largest Polynesian city in the world a window of opportunity opened wide.
The Auckland Central Police would pair two young cops together in patrol cars on the frontline.
After a couple of years the hierarchy slammed that window shut.
Thankfully the collateral damage was largely unknown.
But for us young cops, did we have fun in that brief period of time?
Every cop all over the world has stories to tell.
These are some of mine from the bottom of the Pacific rim, 'Aotearoa'.
The land of the long white cloud, NEW ZEALAND.
I hope you enjoy them.
“thank goodness.”
“Just hope I can knock the next 7 (memoirs) over.”
“all the best to anyone attempting to write a book.”
“With Google I found it so much easier to put my life stories together. With Amazon I self published my memoir. (unbelievable) With Squarespace I launched my own website. (even more unbelievable) Good luck.”
