THE JOB’S FUCKED

THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN. THE TRUTH IS WORSE THAN YOU THINK.

THE JOB’S F*CKED

The Secret Diary of a Police Officer

Policing today is not what the public imagines.
Beneath the uniform lies a profession suffocating under bureaucracy, political interference, and a leadership structure more concerned with optics than justice. Officers are stretched to breaking point, forced to navigate a world where insane decisions fail the most vulnerable, where criminals slip through the cracks, and where those on the front lines are left to absorb the trauma—alone.

The Job’s F*cked – The Secret Diary of a Police Officer is an unflinching, insider’s account of a service on the brink of collapse. With brutal honesty, it exposes the chaos behind the badge, the failures the public never hears about, and the impossible pressures officers face every day.
