Cat Williams was, in her younger days, voted most likely to end up in prison. After her expulsion from an exclusive girl’s boarding school, Cat was angry and borderline neurotic. She veered off the rails and when arrested by the local police, she joked that she would make a better copper than the officers who had locked her up. This is a humorous true story of triumph over adversity and follows the author on her journey as a junior Police Officer in London to working as a Royalty Protection Officer at Buckingham Palace.
