Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Having read the author's prior work of similar format and content ("Street Work"), I was a little worried it might simply be a re-hash of the same material. However, the previous book was so good, I felt that the new one was worth a look. It is, in fact, new and updated material. All of it is relevant to actually working on the street.
For those not currently working in law enforcement, or interested in it as a future career, you might also find it worthwhile.While the main purpose of the book is not to illustrate "what it's like to be a cop", you can find it if you read between the lines. Lots of the topics provide insight as to _why_ law enforcement officers do certain things when on the street.
The format, which works very well, is about 60 self-contained topics (magazine column size). Each is to the point and full of information that makes it clear the author has "been there, done that".
If I had to pick 5 or 6 books for new peace officers to read, this would be on the list. It is excellent for both training as well as review for experienced officers.It is filled with lots of stuff that many of us remember when we get reminded...
I hope Mr. Albrecht has more of these up his sleeve...
