Publisher Description
As seen on Foxtel's Logie winning The Good Cop and Channel 7's Homicide with Ron Iddles
'A - Assume nothing. B - Believe nothing. C - Check everything.' Ron Iddles
In an incredible twenty-five year career as a homicide detective, Ron Iddles' conviction rate was 99%. Yet that only partly explains why Iddles is known to cops and crims alike as 'The Great Man'.
Tough, inventive and incorruptible, stoic in the face of senseless horror yet unafraid to shed tears for a victim, Ron has applied his country cunning and city savvy to over 320 homicide cases - some of them the most infamous, compelling and controversial crimes in the nation's history. To the victims of crime, Ron is both a shoulder to cry on and an avenging angel.
Ron Iddles never gave up on a 'lost' cause. He became a regular on the nightly news - the dogged face of Australian justice. Working long hours, dodging bullets, chasing leads and outwitting killers, Ron would tell his teams: 'The answer is just one call away'. And in 2015, that belief saw him crack Victoria's oldest unsolved homicide, yet another remarkable feat in a life devoted to keeping the public safe.
This is the extraordinary inside story of a real crime crusader. Ron Iddles. The Good Cop.
Customer Reviews
The Good Cop
A truly wonderful read about a remarkable man. I thank my darling son Adam for buying me this book because I wouldn’t have known about it if not for him. I recommend The Good Cop to everyone what a marvellous Police Office Ron Iddles has been and Australian is all the better for him.
Excellent book
As a police officer myself it was an honour to see a person who has the same beliefs as I held during my 40 years of policing,
Standover tactics was never my style. Treating everyone the same even if it dissected your emotions by what they did criminally, is the only way to deal with people.
This approach was not popular with many of my peers but the rapport I achieved with people achieved dividends in the end.
You don’t compromise on your beliefs but let people know you understand the decisions they made and that you will always treat them with respect and dignity.
My job is to establish the truth about what happened, not to judge people.
Ron clearly demonstrated this professionalism throughout his career. It is a pity there aren’t more police officers like him.
Great Reading!
Excellent book. Interesting. Page turning. Sounds like a really nice guy & a great officer.
