A former police constable from Woodthorpe has penned a new book covering the murder arrests he made during his time as a Notts cop.
Tom Andrews made three murder arrests despite only being a beat constable.
In his new book he writes about the dangers he faced daily as a member of the city’s pioneering knife crime unit,
He also records how he foiled a break-in to the tour bus of a visiting celebrity.
Mr Andrews was a police officer with Nottinghamshire Police for thirteen years, leaving in 2020 to start training the next generation of police as a lecturer at Derby University.

The former bobby says he had an action-packed career.
He writes: “I was involved in high speed pursuits involving the police helicopter and police dogs to saving celebrities at music festivals; from arresting some brutal murderers to rolling around with suspected drug dealers in a field of dog poo; from nationally pioneering multi-agency problem-solving operations, to pursuits of mobility scooters.
“My new book offers a unique insight into a side of the city that not many get to experience. His is an almost unique account of modern front-line policing in the city of Nottingham, only able to be published now he has left the police. “
