Ret Det Supt George Barnsley

There’s a lot in this episode with George Barnsley, retired police officer, investigative training consultant and author of the Lanarkshire Police Chronicles. We discuss his police career, Lockerbie, kidnap, the evils of typewriters, his work with the Lanarkshire Police Historical Society and his campaign for official recognition for two murdered Strathclyde Police officers, Ross Hunt and George Taylor.

You can visit the Lanarkshire Police Historical Society website at http://www.lphs.org.uk

George's book 'The Lanarkshire Police Chronicles' is available via Ringwood Publishing (https://www.ringwoodpublishing.com) or at Amazon.
