COPS WRITING CRIME

"I pulled his jaw down with my knife hand, and rammed his bloodied tackle into his mouth. I smiled at him, as I had fantasized about doing, whilst he gagged to death on his own genitals."
- From the Harry short story, "White Powder, Black Leather, Grey Badges", in Harry Kenmare, PI - At Your Service  (p.43)

Me - as Recruit Patterson - at the Police Academy - 1986.

Me - as Constable Patterson - Bayswater Police Station - 1991.

Me - as Detective Patterson - CIB Child Abuse Unit - 1992.

The original 2017 preamble:

As an ex-cop who writes crime fiction, one of my key desires with the genre is realism.  On the occasions I have read crime fiction written by other ex-cops, I have never failed to really appreciate and enjoy the realism those authors impart to their work.
I've so far read 4 crime fiction authors who have been cops, or a private eye in one famous case.  My first, and this was when I was a young cop myself, was Joseph Wambaugh from the USA.  Then came another American, Dashiell Hammett, a PI in his time, and one of the original masters of the hard-boiled form, which has become my all-out favourite sub-genre, and hence what I write in my own work.  Next was a fellow Sydney-sider and ex-cop from Australia, P.M. Newton.  Most recently I discovered a French ex-cop, Laurent Guillaume, who has one of his book translated into English. 
So in early 2017, I decided upon a little project to research a list of all the cops and ex-cops, and those PIs, who have become crime fiction authors.  This page is my library of them.  And the next part of my project is to read at least one example from all of them.
One of my 2018 reading goals is to add some of these brother and sister officers-turned-authors to my reading ventures.  I've already got a few on my TBR pile!

2018 update:
Well, the "little" project turned out to be rather more, as you will see below.  I'm both impressed and excited at how many cops and ex-cops have turned to writing crime fiction.  Whilst the vast majority of the authors below have served (or are still serving) as police officers, The Squad does also include some authors who don't technically fit within the "cop" definition.  So, to explain that further I offer these words (because the underlying theme to this project is realism).  Those PIs who have turned to writing crime fiction (about PIs) do qualify, and, of course, I set that bar early on in the project with the wonderful Dashiell Hammett.  I've also found a couple of authors who have spent many years in some non-officer role with law enforcement, but still working the scene on a daily basis.  So I've let them qualify for The Squad as well, on the basis that whilst they may not technically have worn a badge, they've still lived and breathed the milieu, and therefore are in a position to write wonderfully realistic crime fiction.

2019 update:
So much for "little", HA!  The Squad is ever-growing, way beyond where I ever thought it would go.  We start 2019 with 140 members, and I've got a stack of research waiting on others, especially since I found the "Police Writers" website (LINK) in the US - this is a great resource which lists heaps of police writers, but across all writing classifications.  This project, of course, is only interested in crime fiction.  I also found the LAPD even have their own website (LINK) for their officers who have turned to writing!  How cool is that for a PD?!

Anyway, my aim now is to compile the most definitive list in the world of Cops Writing Crime (Fiction).
And also to read lots of them, although my earlier goal of reading each member of The Squad might be getting out of reach now, given the sheer numbers.  But I have included a running list below of those who I have read.  You'll generally find that I have done a book review in my blog section.

So, read on for the roll call of former police officers, former detectives, and former private investigators, who have all gone on to become crime fiction writers.
​
WELCOME TO THE SQUAD!

2021 update:
The Squad keeps growing with new writers I am finding as well as my collating of more historical ones.

The big news for this year is the anthology project - a collection of crime short stories all penned by members of The Squad.  You can see details of the line-up in my blogs and on my Works page.

February 2018:  Given the size our Squad has now grown to, I thought an alphabetical index up front might be useful.  The numbers in brackets for each author refers to their position on The Squad list, being the order in which I found their name to add to our group.  So just keep scrolling to peruse the list in its order.

# 1:
​A.B. PATTERSON - Australia.

Well, you're on my website...
Anyway, I'm a former WA Police detective, and I worked corruption cases at the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption.  I'm now a licensed PI.
My protagonist is PI Harry Kenmare, featuring in Harry's World (2015).  The sequel is Harry's Quest (2018).  The third novel, Harry's Grail, is in progress.  A collection of short stories is imminent (August 2020).  I've also had some short fiction published in US magazines Switchblade and Econoclash Review.

# 2:
​JOSEPH WAMBAUGH - USA.

Wambaugh served with the LAPD.
He has been a prolific author, and I fondly remember reading some of his when I was a serving officer myself.  The realism gripped me then, as it still does now.
Some examples:  The Choirboys (1975), The New Centurions (1971), or The Blue Knight (1972).  And there are a lot more, as well as some non-fiction.

# 3:
​DASHIELL HAMMETT - USA.   (Deceased 1961)

Hammett needs no introduction, being the father of the hard-boiled school.  He wrote private eye novels, but he had worked as a PI for the Pinkertons Agency, so was able to bring his experience to bear on the realism of his writing.  He joins the Squad on that basis.
He wrote several novels, as well as numerous short stories.  Perhaps his most famous title:  The Maltese Falcon (1930).

# 5:
LAURENT GUILLAUME - France.

Guillaume is a former French police officer and detective, and also a police advisor in Mali.
He has written a number of novels, but only one has so far been translated into English.  White Leopard (2015) is set in Mali, and features the protagonist PI Solo Camara.  I have to admit this is a favourite of mine in the hard-boiled class.
