Hey! I don't want to step on any toes or anything, but I need technical advice, from a member of the Gardai or the detective force, for the purpose of writing a realistic novel.

Thank you

Ken

There's a guy writing for the Herald named P.J. Browne,it says under all his articles that he's a retired detective superintendent,maybe if you rang/emailed the herald they would be able to put you in contact with him.
