About this listen

Adventures in a helicopter

Adrian Bleese spent 12 years flying on police helicopters, and attended almost 3,000 incidents, as one of only a handful of civilian air observers working anywhere in the world.

In Above the Law, he recounts the most intriguing, challenging, amusing, and downright baffling episodes in his career working for Suffolk Constabulary and the National Police Air Service. Rescuing lost walkers, chasing cars down narrow country lanes, searching for a rural cannabis factory, and disrupting an illegal forest rave…they’re all in a day’s work.

It’s a side of policing that most of us never see, and he describes it with real compassion as he lives his dream job, indulging his love of flying, the English landscape, and helping people. Perhaps more than anything, it’s a story about hope.

A warts and all account from a passionate and experienced air observer who writer takes you on the journey. No nonsense in places and very compelling. Highly recommend.

What a brilliant listen, not only narrated with a great level of humour, which I believe is needed when faced with some of the situations. The insight and journey is fascinating and I have a new found respect for Police Air Support and the value of their being available for their colleagues. A great listen.

A departure from the norm.

Great book. Interesting stories, well written and brilliantly read. Sometimes it’s a risk when the book is read by the author. This is one of the best I’ve listened to. Adrian could be a professional Audible reader!

The content is excellent and it’s read by someone who i would
certainly put on my list of narrators to follow.

A very interesting read about things in this job. Some well thought and balanced explanations and opinions that didn’t push onto me but allowed me to consider.

Worth a listen!!

A great listen!

There is no doubt that Adrian has put together one of the best audio books I’ve ever listened to.
The whole book puts you right in the cab of the aircraft and what a privilege it is to experience that as the listener.

Brilliant! Simply brilliant!!!!!!
