"HONOR" ABOVE ALL ELSE

About the Book

Ahhhhhh…………The day to day life of most police officers is usually filled with plenty of verbal abuse, mean looks, threats and frustration……..and then, he goes to WORK !

            Everyone who has ever been a cop soon learns that many times his worst enemy actually wears a badge, and so the joust begins. Not only does he have to watch his back from the public, he has his own kind to fear.

            Most cops fit into three categories; The honest hard working one who wants to further his education and be a professional; the bum who got his job because he knew someone and doesn’t have to work if he doesn’t want to, and last but not least; the ones who prefer to run their badge through your credit card machine, rather than pay the bill.

            This is a book about all of the above. Though many of the activities are funny, they sometimes created situations where someone could have gotten seriously hurt. For those of you still in law enforcement, I can only hope that my 35 years within its realm can help someone, somewhere, somehow. Enjoy this “prose” account of life in the crosshairs of the street thugs and drunk drivers. This book is both informative, funny and for “mature audiences.”
