'This book hits hard - and not in the way you might expect from a bouncer' THE TIMES

George is a full-time campus security guard at a busy university. Working a shift pattern of four days on, four days off to protect the next generation of professionals, George earns just above the minimum wage to provide for his family.

From accidental kitchen fires to mental health crises, George and his team are always the first ones at the scene, working round the clock to keep students safe as they navigate university life. But what is it really like to safeguard the nation's young people?

In this engaging, unique firsthand account, George reveals the dark underbelly of security work and student life, taking us behind the curtain of what it really takes to keep the city safe, while also providing for your family.
