Summary
FROM THE ARCHIVES - OUR FAVOURITE UNDERCOVER COP! Keith Banks is one of Queensland’s most decorated police officers and his experience as a Tactical Operations Specialist Officer in the eighties. After Keith left deep undercover duty (as told in his bestselling first book - Drugs, Guns and Lies), he continued to seek the adrenaline and rush of the sharp end of policing. Gun to the Head is a retelling of Keith’s high-risk operations as part of the Tactical Response Group, to his move into the shadowy world of Criminal Intelligence (where he spent years pursuing outlaw motorcycle gangs). Keith later changed to the Major Crime Squad, again searching for the rush and excitement he continually craved. But life in the fast lane takes a toll, and through Gun to the Head we see all that led to Keith’s years of suffering from PTSD. Gun to the Head facts: • To date Keith is the only police officer to have received the prestigious Queensland Police Valour Award medal twice in his career. Both occasions are explored within this book. • This tactical work is what leads to Keith’s PTSD. He is now a volunteer Peer Support Officer for Police Veterans Victoria and continues to recover. His goal is to help first responders realise they aren’t alone and that recovery is very possible. **WARNING: Graphic and violent discussions of tactical situations, PTSD** keithbanks.com.au Follow the podcast Onemomentpleasepodcast.com IG:@onemomentpleasepodcast FB: One Moment Please
