Summary

Bob Dixon spent years 'on the beat' as a police constable in the Metropolitan Police Force in the early 1960s, witnessing all manner of incidents, from the serious to the ludicrous. Spending the majority of his time in London's infamous East End dealing with drunks, fatalities on the road, domestic disputes and even suicides, as well as policing at major public events such as Guy Fawkes night, New Year's Eve and anti-Vietnam War marches, life was colourful and varied, if not always safe. 'Bobby on the Beat' is the true memoir of a real-life London copper, charting Bob's experiences as a young police officer before he joined the CID.
