Growing up, Veronica Gorrie feared the police. As an Aboriginal person, it’s their first instinct to call on each other, rather than the officers in blue. But that didn’t stop her from becoming a cop. For 10 years, Veronica enforced the law. She’s been assaulted, abused and even reported a complaint against herself. This is what policing is like through the eyes of an Aboriginal woman.   Discover Veronica Gorrie’s award-winning books - Black and Blue here, and When Cops Are Criminals here.   Can’t get enough of I Catch Killers?
