A belated glimpse at the paperback edition of Matt Lloyd Rose’s INTO THE NIGHT, an extraordinary account of the year Matt spent as a volunteer police officer in South London.

Matt Lloyd-Rose was a primary school teacher in South London. When he left the classroom, he became a volunteer police officer in the same area. His new book describes the highs and lows of policing Brixton https://t.co/kYjaa1I4LJ

“[A] humane and astute account of everyday policing in south London. ... [Lloyd-Rose] proves to be a keen observer of the police condition.”

Powerful and insightful review of Matt Lloyd-Rose's INTO THE NIGHT by @LoaderIan in the @TheTLS.

'The Metropolitan Police has morphed into an organization whose main purpose is to defend the Metropolitan Police.' (@LoaderIan)

Today's utterly vital reading. What is Imagination Activism? How to train people to be Imagination Activists? What was the experience of @PhoebeTickell doing that in Camden? Brilliant work with deep implications for every organisation. The imagination needs space. #WhatIf

This episode of the ⁦@NewStatesman⁩ Podcast, in which ⁦@Anoosh_C⁩ interviews Matt Lloyd-Rose, who spent a year as a community police officer, was properly interesting.

An honest insight into what policing is, and what it can and can’t be. https://t.co/D0l3qJBj5A

When casual sexism is ‘currency of workplace connection’ and why cynicism sets in - ⁦@Anoosh_C⁩ talks to the policeman who kept a diary and then wrote a book about it https://t.co/fCqXruQMsi

“Police officers need genuine humanity, but at the same time they need to be willing to pin someone to the floor”.

The Week runs a fabulous serialisation from Matt Lloyd-Rose’s new memoir of volunteering as a South London policeman, INTO THE NIGHT, now out from Picador UK.

[Patrick Walsh @Walsh_e_Patrick]

“a compelling snapshot of modern policing”.

“As they seldom have the chance or permission to step back and see the wider picture, they are like doctors whose only means of intervention is the surgeon’s knife”.

The Observer on Matt Lloyd-Rose’s policing memoir, INTO THE NIGHT.
