What happens when the uniform comes off - and the memories don't? End of Watch is a gripping first-person account by Superintendent William Malone, RCMP (Ret'd), tracing a twenty-six-year career that moves from small-town policing in Atlantic Canada to elite national-security operations and international conflict zones. From Newfoundland and northern New Brunswick to Haiti, Afghanistan, Somalia, and Niger, Malones service reveals a world where crime, war, and global instability collide - and where the decisions carry life-and-death consequences. Spanning the late 1980s to 2015, Malone recounts fatal accidents, suicides, homicides, child-abuse investigations, kidnappings, and disaster response with honesty and restraint. But the most difficult battles unfold after the call ends. Raised in a profession that demanded silence about mental health, he confronts the cumulative trauma of the job - PTSD, anxiety, and depression - and the ripple effects on family, relationships, and self. Blending memoir, reflection, and advocacy, End of Watch speaks to anyone who wants to understand the hidden cost of public service. It is a vital reminder that first responders are human, psychological injuries are real, and with the right support, healing - and a meaningful life beyond the badge - is possible. "This book shines an important light on PTSD, moral injury, and the silent burdens carried by so many first responders and their families." - AMANDA LINDHOUT, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF A HOUSE IN THE SKY "A powerful and deeply human account." - MISCHA KAPLAN, CEO TEAM RUBICON CANADA "Beautifully narrated and candid." - CHRIS O'NEILL-YATES, GLOBAL SECURITY SPECIALIST, FORMER CBC JOURNALIST "This book should be on the reading list for all new first responders." - DR.

Cops in Kabul is the thrilling personal account of retired RCMP Superintendent William C. Malone, who was the deputy Canadian police commander in Kabul, Afghanistan, from May 2011 to May 2012. His serious and at times hilarious story of working with military personnel, diplomats, and civil society organizations highlights the challenges of trying to bring about security and the rule of law in a theatre of war. From 2003 to 2014, Canada played an integral role as part of the NATO coalition in Afghanistan. The Government of Canada sent its military and diplomats to that war-torn country to help bring about peace. One little-known fact about Canada's contribution during the eleven-year conflict was the presence of almost 300 Canadian police from across the country who volunteered to help train, mentor, and build the capacity of the Afghan National Police. Canada's mission was to help Afghans rebuild their country as a stable, democratic, and self-sufficient society. Canada, along with dozens of other nations and international organizations, was engaged at the request of the democratically elected Afghan government to work within the United Nations-mandated and NATO-led mission in the Central Asian nation. This one-year snapshot takes a fascinating look at the bravery demonstrated by Canadian peacekeepers in a volatile and dangerous place.
