Policing is not a job of sirens and headlines-it is a life. It is lived in the lanes of forgotten towns, in the silence of empty homes, in the laughter of barracks, and in the weight of decisions that never leave the conscience. This book, Khaki Reflection: voices from the uniform, is an attempt to capture those untold dimensions. The stories are not bound by a single style because neither is a policeman's life.
At times it is simple and heartfelt; at times raw, brutal, and unflinching; at times poetic, philosophical, or stoic in silence. I do not claim this to be a universal truth. These are reflections-literary, emotional, and experiential-that seek to honor both the glory and the grief of police life.- Fazal Abubakkar Esaf2025
