    New Blue #3 Oct 14, 2021
    Show notes

    While I'm away finishing the research on the final few episodes of Murder Mile, here is something special.


    This is Part Three of Three of NEW BLUE; a conversation with Paul, a serving officer in the Metropolitan Police about what it's really like to be a policeman. Over three episodes, we'll dive into his training, his first and his daily duties. This is a frank, unedited conversation, which contains some rude words and may feature personal opinions which may not fully reflect the Police. The theme music was Finals by Silent Partner.
