COPS WRITING CRIME - Welcome to 2019 and to 5 new members of The Squad!

Well, what I originally envisaged as a small project has consistently proved me wrong!  The Squad just keeps growing.  I've been busy doing research over the holiday period and have a swag of new names to potentially add to our group.  Here are 5 more for starters.

This now takes us to 145 in number, with our 5 new members.
That's 145 cops and ex-cops (and some PIs) who have taken to writing crime fiction.  You won't get more realistic crime tales than those from this Squad!
​
So, we have joining us today:
1.   Susan Anderson - Anderson served as an officer with the Milton PD in Florida, and I found one crime fiction novel to date.
2.   J. Todd Scott - Scott is still a serving Federal Agent with the DEA in the US, and now he has started writing crime fiction.
3.   Denzil Meyrick - Meyrick served with the Strathclyde Police in Scotland and has now written a number of crime novels.
4.   Omar Shahid Hamid - Hamid is our first Squad member from Pakistan.  He served with the Karachi Police for many years and has so far written two crime novels.
5.   Gerry O'Carroll - for another Squad first, O'Carroll is our first Irish cousin to join.  He served in the Garda in Ireland before turning to writing crime fiction. 

Our Squad now consists of:

66 American
40 British
9 Australian
9 Canadian
4 New Zealanders
3 Finnish
2 Dutch
2 Swedish
1 French
1 Bahamian
1 Norwegian
1 Italian
1 Czech
1 Russian
1 Hungarian
1 Spaniard
1 Pakistani
​1 Irish

I'll keep adding more as I come across them, and if you know of any others please feel free to drop me a line.

And please remember, my list is only for CRIME FICTION - not all the true crime and/or memoir writing by cops and ex-cops that's out there (as good as so much of that is).
