E E Bloggs Diary of an On-call Girl: True Stories from the Front Line Pbk published September 2007 by Monday Books at £7.99 ISBN: 095528547X


WPC BLOGGS is a 21st Century policewoman... a cross between Bridget Jones and PC David Copperfield. She frets about her make-up, flirts with male officers and, occasionally, arrests some very naughty people. Diary of an On Call Girl offers a hilarious, insider's look at modern day policing from the point of view of a young serving woman officer. Her days are spent dealing with bolshy teenagers, violent drunks and wolf-whistling yobs. "The most comments I attract," she writes, "is when I'm patrolling with Becks. For many members of the public, two female officers fighting crime on their own is quite the most exciting thing they've ever seen; for some, it's second only to watching lesbian porn movies." But along with her wry humour and biting sarcasm, her writing has steel at its core, and makes serious, lacerating points about modern Britain. The town she helps to police is beset by crime and related problems, and Bloggs and her colleagues, fighting a losing battle against the criminals, are being drowned in a rising tide of pointless paperwork, government targets and spin-driven initiatives. From the publishers of the hugely popular Wasting Police Time, which continues to sell thousands of copies each month.
