Description

From humble beginnings in a small country town, walking the beat, a speed cop to a Detective Sergeant in charge of 'The Special Branch' in the S.A. Police Force.

Ivor John Carroll - later to become known as 'Chris' short for 'Xmas Carroll' but affectionately called 'Xmas' by those that knew him well - a self-confessed ratbag - takes us on a, sometimes, comical, and at times, emotional journey through what it was to be a 'copper' during the 1940-50's.

The array of fascinating characters with whom he worked - some loved, some hated - the continually changing states of 'the job', and the many and varied 'cases' on which he worked, are related in a frank, politically incorrect and unfiltered manner - he pulls no punches.

'We Sweep the Streets: A Police Story Based on Fact' is the first in what was to be a duology, spanning I. J. Carroll's entire career. However, searches to date have yet to uncover a complete copy of the second manuscript....... But the search continues.
