Confessions of a Crooked Cop

'From the Golden Mile to Witness Protection - An Explosive True Story.'

Former Detective Sergeant Trevor Haken lives somewhere in hiding in a hell of his own creation, a direct result of his decision, after a career as a corrupt police officer, to become an undercover informant for the Wood Royal Commission in 1994. The Commission brought unprecedented revelations about the corrupt behaviour of police in New South Wales. It resulted in the dismissal of many serving officers and led to the reorganisation of policing in the state.

Haken's role in gathering evidence was highly dangerous. If anyone had searched him for a wire, then he would have been killed. And Haken was wired at least 80 times. The danger increased at every meeting.

Trevor Haken is a man with many enemies and few friends. But author Sean Padraic has secured his support and trust, and his book reveals the secret methods of the Commission and the key roles of behind-the-scenes personnel.

Using Haken's words and testimony, CONFESSIONS OF A CROOKED COP is a startling and revealing exposé of a system that was supposed to uphold the truth and protect its citizens, but instead fell into chaos and corruption to its very heart.
