John Sutherland is a married dad of three and he lives with his wife and children in South London.
John joined the Metropolitan Police in 1992 and served in a variety of ranks and roles for more than twenty-five years, until his early retirement on medical grounds in 2018.
John's first book, Blue, was a Sunday Times bestseller. It tells the stories of his policing life and of my slow recovery from the serious nervous breakdown that ended my operational career.
