Summary: True to life...
Review: My parents are both Tucson Police Officers and I am studying to be a police officer here in Tucson. The stories in this book are very well written and provide a very in depth look at all aspects of a cop. The stories of action get your pulse going, and the stories of the stresses these officers live with make you empathetic. This book is wonderful. Anybody considering a career in law enforcement should read this book. Anybody who knows a cop or wants to know a cop should read this book.

Summary: It's incredible.
Review: The book is wonderful. Both of my parents are Tucson Police Officers and this book follows TPD officers. While it is in the 80's, the book still has incredible meaning and value. Anybody interested in becoming a police officer, anybody who is a police officer, or anybody who wants to know what a police officer goes through should read this book. It not only discusses the on the job aspects of policing, but the emotional and family side of police life also. During the action scene, your adrenaline will be surging, and during the emotional dtruggle scenes, you will be filled with empathy. The book is wonderful and quick paced. It is well worth the cost.
