Über den Autor


Always on Call is the story of Peter Cahill's policing career spanning twenty-three years. Policing featured strongly in his childhood and is regarded as a family tradition going right back to 1864, when his great-grandfather Andrew was sworn in. Therefore, it came as no surprise when Peter also expressed a desire to join the force. Peter Cahill was born in 1950 in the city of Brisbane. When he was fourteen, the sudden death of his Father added to his sense of responsibility, and he was forced to navigate through one of the most challenging times of his life. From here on in, his need to protect and keep the peace was born, which later translated into his work, and before long, he became known within the Indigenous communities as Our Old Dad, Dad, or Old Fella, even though he was still in his early thirties. Peter Cahill, who once was described by a senior cop as The man is a legend in his own time, invites the reader into his life as a police officer and experience the ups and downs of working in various Queensland police stations. He tells his stories with remarkable candour of times where life-threatening danger was often not far away. Peter now lives in far North Queensland, where he likes spending time with his wife Pimmie, their loyal German shepherd dog Tonto, the always mischievous sausage dog mix, Simba, and an elderly rainbow lorikeet named Jacko.
