About The Author
Tony Long
Tony Long spent a lengthy career as an instructor and operator within the Met’s elite specialist firearms units. He participated in hundreds of groundbreaking armed operations against the UK’s most hardened criminals, earning many commendations and on several occasions resorting to lethal force. Labelled a ‘serial killer’ by Scotland Yard bosses, in 2015, facing a potential murder conviction for the death of an armed drug dealer, he fought to maintain his dignity and clear his name. Tony retired from the force after 33 years and now works as a security consultant.
