Born and grew up in Northern Ireland, now living in England. Growing up during the 'Troubles' gave me a different perspective on what the police (or 'Peelers' as we called them) had to face on a day to day basis. One of my ushers had not been back to his place of birth for 10 years because of the threat level had he done so. Policing was not a job that could be left at the end of a day, it was a 24/7/365 lifestyle.
