Officer K: Exposing the bad guys as a female undercover cop
Officer K, Douglas Wight

‘Officer K’ was an elite female undercover police officer – one of only a small number of women operating at that level in the UK.

In her powerful and compelling memoir, Officer K tells for the first time of:

•          The mental torture she endured at the hands of the force she’d risked her life for.

•          Her stellar career that saw her infiltrate serious and organised crime gangs, working under a host of aliases.

•          High pressure operations that led to the convictions of dangerous criminals.

•          A terrifying cancer diagnosis during a high-risk deployment in Belfast.

Officer K says: ‘I had one of the best jobs in the world. I was an undercover police officer, operating nationally and internationally. From infiltrating violent drug gangs on inner city housing estates to mixing with prominent members of society, I operated under completely different identities on deployments.

'I worked my way up from an enthusiastic recruit to one of the most respected undercover officers in the UK. I also delivered training and lectured on covert and undercover techniques throughout the UK, Eastern and Western Europe. I won awards, received accolades and gave every ounce of my soul to the job. Through it all I trusted the people in charge had my back if things went wrong. They didn’t.’

Officer K is a gripping, heartfelt and shocking memoir that shines new light on how the police treats its most highly trained and decorated officers.
