Cops Writing Crime - 6 new members for The Squad.

Another 6 colleagues (all American) join The Squad today, bringing its numbers to 387.

That's 387 cops and ex-cops (and other law enforcement types, plus some PIs) who have taken to writing crime fiction. You won't get more realistic crime tales than those from this Squad!

We have joining us today:
1. Robert Sterling Hecker who served with the New Orleans PD.
2. Alan March who served with the Cincinnati PD.
3. Dale Ford who served with the Midwest City PD in Oklahoma.
4. Gerry Mackey who served with the Miami Beach PD in Florida.
5. James O. Born who served with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the DEA.
6. Enes Smith (deceased 2020) who served with the Warm Springs Tribal Police in Oregon.

Our Squad now consists of:

254 American, 67 British, 18 Australian, 18 Canadian
4 New Zealander, 3 Finnish, 3 French, 2 Dutch, 2 Swedish,
2 Irish, 1 Bahamian, 1 Norwegian
1 Italian, 1 Czech, 1 Russian, 1 Hungarian
1 Spaniard, 1 Pakistani, 1 Chinese, 1 Brazilian, 1 Indian, 1 Danish
2 "International" (listed as this due to current serving officer requirements)

I'll keep adding more as I come across them, and if you know of any others please feel free to drop me a line.

And please remember, my list is only for CRIME FICTION - not all the true crime and/or memoir writing by cops and ex-cops that's out there (as good as so much of that is).

​Cheers,
ABP

James Ellson That's great news! Volume 2 of To Serve, Protect & Write might be a bumper issue!

I'm hoping so, James, will be getting in touch with everyone from Volume 1 in the next couple of months.
