Keith Banks is a firm believer in being careful with what you wish for. Joining the Queensland Police Force at 17 with a dream of being a 'supercop', Keith would give two decades of his life to policing; a life lived mostly deep undercover, busting some of Queensland's most notorious criminals. His time in the job saw him flourish in criminal investigations, special weapons, bomb disposal, counter-terrorism and criminal intelligence. What he didn't anticipate, however, was being left broken by a job he loved, racked with a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress that would take years to tackle. Now a published author of two bestselling books detailing his life in the job, Keith has found a way to draw on his experiences; all in pursuit of better understanding the minds of police veterans, and what they might struggle with.
