Acknowledgements
The following members of the Northern Ireland Retired Police Officers Association deserve thanks: Sam Lamont, Karen Moore, Austin Hetherington, and I am especially grateful to Raymond White for his continued support for the project and his efforts to make possible a series of fieldwork trips over the course of seven years. I am indebted to Anne McAnirn and Paul Donley of the Northern Ireland Disabled Police Officers Association and similarly to Sam Malcolmson of the Wounded Police and Families Association without whom it would have been difficult to conduct the research with injured officers. The assistance of Margaret Cameron, Avril Roulton and Evelyn Willis deserves thanks for their assistance with the project and their role in extending the research amongst former women officers of the Royal Ulster Constabulary. The Police Service of Northern Ireland provided important statistical information, and in this respect, I am grateful
