During David Woodland's 19 years' service with the Metropolitan Police, the 'thin blue line' came under intense pressure. In addition to the routine caseload of gang crime, murder and armed robbery, Irish terrorist groups launched a vicious and prolonged terror campaign. The Author, a Detective Inspector in the Crime Intelligence Branch at New Scotland Yard, witnessed a series of major scandals. He reveals why many otherwise honest detectives strove to rectify defects in the law that allowed professional criminals to evade justice. When Sir Robert Marks, the newly appointed Police Commissioner, described the CID as 'the most routinely corrupt organisation in London', there may have been more than an element of truth in his extraordinary claim but it devastated the public's credibility in the CID. Using his own cases and experience, he demonstrates the difficulties faced by a depleted, demoralised Police Force not least 'the enemy within'. Crime and Corruption at The Yard is a gripping, shocking and instructive insider's account of sharp end police work. Salutary lessons are learnt about the effect of PC and 'human rights' on the preservation of law and order.

Corruptiont its Highest By Jock I followed in the author's footsteps on A , B, M and V divisions and after reading this absolutely incredible book I am pleased I did not follow him to C11 where corruption appears to have been instilled by the highest ranking officer in that department Commander David Dilley. How a corrupt senior officer can destroy the career of another up and coming hard working senior officer beggars belief. As an Aid to CID working in the Knightsbridge area of London in the late 60's and 70's I was well acquainted with the professional crime syndicate from Australia who created havoc within the West End banks and jeweller's shops in London and elsewhere throughout the UK. I remember the day they were arrested in Manchester but was not aware it was the author who instigated the whole operation, a fantastic piece of work that destroyed this team forever. Having achieved this in the absence of his bent Commander who was on holiday makes these arrests more commendable. The authors involvement with the arrest of the armed robber Freddie Sewell for the murder of the Blackpool Superintendent is another extremely interesting and corrupt story. Instead getting or being recommended for the highest Commissioners commendation it was his downfall. A sad, sad time for the Met and to this day has never recovered. Commander Dilley never got arrested but his fellow commanders Drury and Virgo plus several others got what they deserved. This book is a MUST read, a really exciting story allbeit a sad end to a good officers career. I would recommend that one reads a book by DC Jim Smith title (Undaunted) as a follow up to this book.
