True Blue: Police Stories by Those Who Have Lived Them
Search in google:
A terrific collection of true police stories written by police officers from around the country and compiled by a high-profiled detective Library Journal On the infamous day of 9/11, more police officers died serving their country than on any other day in U.S. history. In the aftermath, Sutton, a veteran detective in the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, was inspired to compile a number of stories written by police officers (many of whom had not published previously) depicting their multifaceted lives. This book represents Sutton's attempt to honor all police officers but especially those who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks of 2001. The stories are divided into five sections (although it is structurally odd that only Part 5 has its own subsection, while pieces in the other four sections are combined in a disorderly fashion). These stories include "The Beat" (police who walk or patrol specific neighborhoods), "War Stories" (every cop has them, and sharing such stories is a cop's way of sharing the moment and building camaraderie), "Officer Down" (the very words chill the blood of police officers), "Line of Duty" (most of the time, police work is quite routine), and "Ground Zero" (stories regarding the devastating events of 9/11). The result is an effective overview of police work. Recommended for specialized collections in criminology; all proceeds from the sale of this book will go to the families of the law enforcement officers killed during the attacks.-Tim Delaney, SUNY at Oswego Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
