"Policing from its earliest days has been a story of constant change, adapting to the needs of society yet always with the deep foundations of courage and concern for people. Those who chose to serve as police officers and staff have, over the years, faced constant challenges and controversies and many have paid a heavy price.
For much of this time the Christian Police Association has stood alongside colleagues, providing tangible support and the hope and love of the gospel. Yet until now the truly significant involvement of Catherine Gurney and the Christian Police Association, in meeting both the spiritual and very practical needs of the Police Service, have remained largely untold and unsung.
In this rich and thorough account of the birth and development of the Christian Police Association, Don Axcell not only puts its growth into the wider context of the policing world, but also shows how the influence and legacy of Catherine Gurney continues to this day. It is a story of inspiration, commitment and the continued impact and relevance of Jesus Christ in the life of the Police Service and those who go ‘where duty calls’."
