COP is the true story of Bill Sharp's service in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police from 1968 to 2011. For over forty-three years he served in British Columbia where he upheld the law in Trail, Burnaby, Castlegar, Surrey, North Vancouver, Coquitlam and Langley. These are his stories of basic training, followed by first-hand accounts of violence, tragedy and interesting events - experiences recounted with honesty and humour. It is a lucid, credible and articulate memoir of the author's career as a front-line policeman in the RCMP. - Renee Layberry, Editor"
