Summary

Retired Detective Constable Ron is called to the scene of a fatal car accident. At first, the driver was nowhere to be found. Then suddenly, a man with marked "prison swagger" appears on the scene...or reappears, as it were. As Ron works to build a case against this driver, he reveals just how far quiet confidence will go when it comes to wrapping up a case.


The detective: Detective Constable Ron

Detective Constable Ron retired after 32 years of policing. He spent 20 years in patrol, which included 15 years being part of the Emergency Response Unit (SWAT). He also worked as a detective and crisis negotiator, and held many other roles. One of the biggest highlights in his career was helping organize and taking part in the annual Police Memorial Bicycle Ride to Remember which finishes at the Nations Capital the day before the annual Police Memorial Service. He continues to take part in this ride every year! He is currently a Professor in a College Policing Program as well as a Personal Fitness Trainer.
