    About this ebook

    In this book Alon recounts some of his most memorable police duties, opening a small window to the public of what it means to police the suburbs and townships of South Africa, especially during the turbulent 90s and early 2000s.

    This book recounts true stories of action and mayhem. Shootings, car-chases and tracing murderers!

    Real events as told by a Police Reservist Captain, who served in a number of specialised tactical units around Johannesburg.

    While on the run Adam and I opened fire. I pointed my pistol at his silhouetted figure and fired eleven shots in rapid succession through the glass doors of the banking hall. The louder blasts from Adam’s assault rifle filled the air too, as he fired five rapid shots towards the suspect.

    The suspect dropped to the ground. The money bag and the gun lay on the floor.

    As we closed in on the glass doors, the suspect managed to crawl behind the large brick structure that housed the cash machines. He had left a continuous blood trail.

    Now kneeling against the corner of the wall, I said to Adam, “Cover me, mag change!”
