Glenn Wood Livres

Following the success of The Laughing Policeman, Glenn Wood completes the story of his rather undistinguished career in the New Zealand Police.Constable Wood was a disaster waiting to happen. He was the sort of cop who was happier helping little old ladies across the street (even when they were quite content where they were) than pursuing the perpetrators of dreadful deeds.But if he failed to strike fear into the hearts of the criminal underworld, his superiors had a real problem on their hands. Never before had they been forced to deal with such a well-meaning but accident-prone officer and they hoped, fervently, never to see his like again.From his early encounters with a less-than-impressed public, through the terrifying days of the Springbok Tour riots, to the gradual realisation that perhaps he wasn’t cut out for life on the beat, this is the hilarious story of a young cop who created a severe disturbance in the force.

*Amazon #1 Humour - #1 Memoirs and Biographies* "What a delight this book was! The autobiographical book was very well written, and his entertaining, dry humor made me laugh out loud frequently!" " I found his writing very entertaining with several belly laughs, lots of chuckles and even some snorts. Great book!" "If you don't laugh at this, I don't think you can!" The Laughing Policeman: My Brilliant Career in the New Zealand Police is the hilarious account of Glenn's adventures as a police cadet from the time he first thought of the idea as a naïve teenager who hoped the uniform might attract girls, to his first nervous and calamitous months on the beat. A multitude of disasters accompany Glenn during his testing year at police training college. No-one is more surprised than he is to survive, relatively intact, the physical, intellectual and emotional challenges of such a rigorous course and to emerge as a highly-trained, competent police constable. Well, more or less... This is a warm and funny book that was a best seller in New Zealand but will appeal to anyone who loves a laugh. This popular book has been re-edited and updated as an ebook.
