John Sutherland Part 1 - We Are More Than The Names That We Have And The Positions We Hold

John Sutherland joined the Met Police in 1992 after receiving the baton of honour, presented to the outstanding student during an officer’s basic training. He quickly rose through the ranks and as it says on the back cover of his first book 'Blue', experienced all that is extraordinary about a life in blue: saving lives, finding the lost, comforting the broken and helping taking the dangerous people off the streets. With the highs came the lows and in 2013 John suffered a major nervous breakdown and we talk about and how he’s managed to wrestle control back, later in the podcast. A third book and his first in the fiction category 'The Siege' is on its way, straddling his second book 'Crossing The Line' and before getting into subjects like hostage negotiation, the art of listening and the reason for becoming a policeman in the first place, we spoke about why he started writing and the routines around that.
