Confessions From The Front Line

Howling at the Moon Productions Ltd, 1997.

For the first time in modern New Zealand history, police top brass have begun to openly debate whether the force is becoming corrupt.

Now a 'time cop' - a veteran with 31 years' experience - offers his analysis on the good, the bad and the ugly side of our police force.

From bicycle bobby to anti-terrorist commando, Inspector Murray Forbes has seen it all. From cops bending the rules to cops breaking the law. From cops saving lives to cops taking lives. He was there when they shot Paul Chase. He led the team that killed David Gray at Aramoana. He's talking for the first time.

It is a story told with comopassion, laced with Forbes' wry sense of humour.

At a time when the future of the police has never been more hotly debated, 'Confessions From The Front Line' offers an unrivalled and fascinating insight.
