Part 1

Colin Sutton is the son of a police officer, who as a child lived in Enfield. He is an avid Tottenham fan.

His grandfather was born in 1893 and was a major influence on Colin. He had joined the Leicestershire regiment during the 1st World War, and was injured on the Somme. Colin sites his grandfather as being a visionary he informed Colin that all politicians are corrupt Tories for Sex, Labour for Money.

Colin went to Leeds University to study law but didn’t complete his degree, He joined the police in 1981 But not before he had an unfortunate experience at the Royal Courts Of Justice with a judge!

During training Colin discovered that he wasn’t a natural at Drill. He was initially posted to Tottenham where he walked the infamous Broadcaster Farm. Having completed his final probation exam he was “Encouraged” to take his Sergeants Exam, this encouragement came to fruition in the following January which he passed and came in the top 100 which meant he was interviewed for the Special Course at Bramshill.

Colin discusses tactics and the subsequent arrests whilst in uniform as a Sergeant, The virtues of residential training where “Wrong Uns” would be routed out therefore removing the likes of Couzens and Carrick. We also discuss the Casey report. 

Colin served at Paddington Green which was the police station used in Terrorist investigations and met some very interesting "Customers"

He describes himself as a "Wood Done Good"
