Welcome!!!

You are very welcome to my blog. Let me introduce myself. I am a recently retired police sergeant living in the seaside town of Cobh just outside Cork City in Ireland. During my career I was primarily involved in community policing but I was also involved in a couple of EU projects looking at crime prevention and diversity in policing both of which took me to various parts of Europe. Issues regarding policing are subjects close to my heart so I will mention them from time to time.

I spent a little over a year in Cyprus on a peace keeping mission with the United Nations. Working alongside so many different nationalities was fascinating and I loved every miniute of it so that’s also something I will prattle on about from time to time, along with anything else that annoys, irritates, displeases or frustrates me.

Something that makes me very happy however, is my little eighteen month old grandson, Cooper, and I will be describing some of his exploits and any other topics he might suggest. (He’s very advanced.)

I enjoy writing and I contribute articles to various publications but the main objective of this blog is to hopefully be a little entertaining. If I can generate a smile or even a little grin then it will have been worth the effort.

I hope you enjoy your visit and feel free to let me know if you don’t. It’s difficult to offend me so don’t worry.
