Image captionA police constable has shared his journey from being a teenager who slept rough to becoming a neighbourhood officer.The Warwickshire officer, 46, said he suffered abuse from an alcoholic mother, was locked in a coal shed and eventually slept rough.The police officer, now married and a stepfather, said he had experienced some"low lows" while growing up in Nuneaton.
He said his mother, who has since died, struggled with mental heath issues and alcoholism and found it difficult to cope after his father, who has also since died, left.PC Croshaw regularly suffered violence as a young boy, recalling being beaten with a bat, locked in the coal shed naked and verbally abused.
He scraped through school, he said, but dropped out of college, sleeping rough on and off after being"thrown out" following arguments with his mother.Eventually, he said, some officers found him sleeping in a rugby club and took him to Nuneaton town hall where he was officially declared homeless. He then lived in a bedsit - where he said he witnessed heroin use and"nasty violence - but worked hard in a selection of part-time jobs.
"I was working seven days a week at one point, which was better than being in a horrible bedsit," he said.
