Interview #71 | Jade Cameron Discusses Her Career as a Trainee Detective

In this interview episode, I’m joined by former trainee detective Jade Cameron.

When Jade finally achieved her dream of becoming a detective, she discovered that the reality wasn’t quite as she'd imagined. Living the Dream: Confessions of a Trainee Detective offers a gripping and unfiltered look at the hidden realities of life as a detective in training.

With unflinching honesty, Jade pulls back the curtain on her journey within Thames Valley Police, exposing the camaraderie and conflicts, the pride and frustrations, the adrenaline-fuelled moments, and the thankless tasks.

Her powerful memoir will captivate, enlighten, and take you far beyond TV's glamour and heroics. Jade takes you on a journey that is eye-opening, deeply personal, and profoundly human, as she discovers what it truly means to live the dream.
