Coming 2027

Most people start winding down at fifty. Jack Forrest signed up.

Slow Response is the honest, funny and sometimes bruising account of a man putting on a police uniform for the first time in his fiftieth year — training alongside recruits half his age, learning a language of codes and callouts, and finding out what half a century of another life is actually worth on a dark street at two in the morning.

Forrest's latest dose of non-fiction.
Available soon.
