Policing insight manuscript critique from author and ex-police Rebecca Bradley (#98)

Have you written a UK-based crime novel and want the police procedure checked before you move forward with it? I can help. I will read an entire manuscript to review the procedure and within six weeks return a report outlining any errors and how important they are. If possible, I can suggest a workaround. You are the writer and can choose to take or ignore any and all advice provided. It is fiction, after all and this is your book.

I have over fifteen years UK policing experience. (England and Wales, unfortunately I can't review books set in Scotland or Ireland as they have different procedures.) Seven of those years were in uniform with the remainder in a specialist investigative department where I handled multiple, serious and complex investigations. I've been retired for a number of years and policing moves on, but I'm in regular contact with colleagues so can fact-check anything that may have changed.
