My Kind of Town: Excerpts of a Copper's Life
ISBN: 9781478394105 / Angielski / Miękka / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. My Kind of Town chronicles the real life experiences of a Chicago cop during the early 1960s. Anthony Sabatello's brief career with the Chicago Police Department was spent in the Patrol Division and in the Traffic Division, which enables him to provide different perspectives on being a "copper" in the Windy City. Some of the events he describes are interesting, some are entertaining (what ordinary citizens might call "bizarre"), but none depict violence and all are true accounts. Beware, there is some strong language.

ISBN: 9780615699431 / Angielski / Miękka / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Darryl Kimball always wanted to fly. This is the story of how he accomplished his dream. It's the story of how a small town country boy found his way to San Diego, California, and eventually into the helicopter unit of one of the largest sheriff's departments in the country. In many ways it's a success story, a story of perseverance -- one that says when the odds seem to be stacked against you, or when your mind tells you that you're not smart enough or good enough, or tells you to quit and go home, you don't listen. You stick it out, you move forward . . . and you persevere. As a helicopter...

ISBN: 9781250068637 / Angielski / Twarda / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Of all the tools available to law enforcement, the living, breathing undercover operative remains the gold standard. This is true in TV shows and in the real world. In the era of electronic surveillance, UC work enforces accountability; it prevents mistakes, and of all the boots on the ground, undercover agents are often the most valuable. The FBI generally has about 100 UC agents working full-time in the field. In the 1990s and 2000s, Marc Ruskin had the most diverse, and notorious, case list of all, and the broadest experience within the bureaucracy, including overseas. He...

The Blue Norther
ISBN: 9781475237221 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Conventional wisdom has it that by increasing the pressure on a subject population, the amount of aberrant behavior increases. This is a little story about six or seven people involved in an incident that took place the night before New Year's Eve on the north end of an apartment complex in Dallas after a norther slammed into the place. There aren't many characters; their names are obviously fictional; and some are constructs. But never doubt, gentle reader, that the events recounted in my little piece are factual. Some of my characters bear a curious similarilty to the leads in "Casablanca"...

Chief of Police
ISBN: 9780865349605 / Angielski / Miękka / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Richard CdeBaca's tenure as chief of the New Mexico State Police was a brief and controversial end to a long, productive career. Notes recorded by CdeBaca during decades as a state policeman reflect dramatic changes in how governors, legislatures, the courts, prisons and the press changed within an evolving society. It wasn't always tidy. CdeBaca remains an ardent supporter of police, but author David Roybal prods the long-time cop into telling concessions. Civil rights, as they are defined today, did not get in the way of daily patrols. CdeBaca acknowledges that State Police at times were...

Plagued by racial tensions, unsolved killings, drugs, prostitution, no-go areas and riots, it was populated by some intriguing and challenging characters as well as being the venue for an iconic, sometimes disorderly, annual Carnival. Based on first-hand knowledge, prodigious research and hitherto unpublished sources, Policing Notting Hill also records Tony Moore's time as Divisional Commander at what Roger...
