Backup Is Three Hours Away by Mark  “Trigger” Tregellas

Every now and then a book comes along that will make you cry, make you laugh and make you wonder ‘could that really happen. Mark ‘Trigger’ Tregellas was a member of Victoria Police for more than 30 years and spent much of his time policing remote and regional communities. When you’re the only copper for hundreds of kilometers and your nearest backup is three hours away, things can get tricky, sometimes dangers but above all, you have to make decisions on the spot. You need to improvise but you also need to have a genuine desire to help people and this often requires inventiveness to make do with what you got available. This book is a collection of true stories from Mark’s career as a country policeman with 61 bite-sized chapters that make it a real page-turner. The first print publication sold out and the second print is almost gone.
