We Sweep the Streets

<p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>'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.</p>
