Book excerpt: Cam Madden had a good job and a carefree bachelor lifestyle when he impulsively tried out for the police academy of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Now that he's mastered the theories of law enforcement in the academy, his education in its realities begins with field training and an ugly suicide call. Learning the lessons of the street leaves scars on Cam's ego and more on his body, but it's even tougher on his relationships with women. It doesn't matter until he falls for Karrie May, a paramedic, whereupon making it work becomes all-important.One Cop's Journey is in a sense every cop's journey, the story of finding his own place in a company of heroes, even if that company contains a disturbing proportion of bureaucrats, office politicians, and layabouts. Somehow the finest and the flawed manage to work together well enough to keep the barbarians at bay. Every Day.

Book excerpt: The basis of the A&E special OJ: Guilty in Vegas—an account of the notorious celebrity’s downfall by the detective who led the investigation. Rod knocked on the door, and within a few moments, the door swung open and there was O.J. Simpson. This was and is a moment that is hard to reconcile in my mind. As I stood there—a detective tasked with investigating a crime and thinking I was going to conduct this interview just like any other—I was a little star struck . . . In 1995, NFL great and movie star O.J. Simpson beat a murder rap for the death of his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman. But in 2007 his luck with avoiding Lady Justice ran out in Las Vegas. Written by the lead detective assigned to the case, Room 1203 is the true story of the convoluted and bizarre events surrounding a violent armed robbery of a sports memorabilia collector in a Vegas hotel. On that night, Simpson put an exclamation mark on his spectacular fall from the height of Hollywood’s glamour and glitz to a shadowy world of scams and schemers in Sin City. This book provides details, insights, and facts not previously reported—and reveals the investigation that pieced the crime together and landed an arrogant man who believed he was above the law in a Nevada prison. “Read it in two sittings. . . . Dispelled the idea that the robbery in Las Vegas was more of a misunderstanding than a real crime and that Simpson was merely trying to get back his own property.” —Dennis Griffin, bestselling author of The Rise and Fall of a Casino Mobster

Book excerpt: This “riveting true life account” goes inside the life-or-death world of a Las Vegas police crisis negotiator: “a must read" (Gary W. Noesner, Chief, FBI Crisis Negotiation Unit, author of Stalling For Time). What do you say to prevent someone from committing “suicide-by-cop”? How do you talk someone down when he’s pointing a gun at a hostage? What tactics do you use when lives depend on your words? Veteran police negotiator Lieutenant Dennis Flynn spent nearly two decades responding to more than a thousand high-intensity incidents with the Crisis Negotiations Team in Las Vegas, Nevada. He approached every scenario with the same goal: bring everyone out alive. This vivid memoir offers a rare, behind-the-scenes view of the life-and-death situations that police negotiators face on a daily basis. Taking readers through both exhilarating successes and tragic failures, Flynn offers a guided tour of the extreme and potentially deadly side of Sin City.

Book excerpt: Experience firsthand policing in America's Playground. This book contains stories that are based on my thirty-year career with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Despite all my "peaks and valleys," I never lost my love of policing, or passion for the people I served. While many of my experiences are amusing, they also are enlightening for people considering a career in law enforcement. My most important lesson learned is that decisions must be based on ethical soundness, as opposed to other motivations. The challenges facing American police officers have never been greater. Besides the dangers from criminals, they also need to navigate through administrations that are often more concerned about tomorrow's headline, than providing true leadership. As opposed to considering ethical soundness, agencies are often most concerned with only the politically popular path. My prayer is for police agencies to work in partnership with the citizens they serve in making our neighborhoods a safer place. For this to be achieved "Integrity-Based Policing" must become the new standard for all agencies to adopt.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As figureheads of the most visible segment of criminal justice, today’s police administrators are forced to tackle challenges never faced by their predecessors. Heightened local and global threats, advanced technologies, and increased demands for procedural transparency require new levels of flexibility, innovative thinking, and the ability to foster and maintain relationships within the community. It is more crucial than ever to recruit and retain capable leaders to guide law enforcement agencies at this pivotal time in history. Covering areas such as leadership in policing, use of force, and understanding how the law shapes police practice, Handbook of Police Administration examines the key topics that must be considered by law enforcement professionals. Recognizing that police leaders need the skills and traits of a politician, accountant, attorney, field lieutenant, and futurist, the authors cover a variety of contemporary issues surrounding police administration and management. Divided into five thematic sections, it considers the legal aspects of overseeing a public sector organization, as well as how research, technology, and training can assist modern police leaders in performing their duties more effectively and efficiently. The book covers problematic issues such as officers accepting gratuities, undercover work, and the time criteria required for promotional consideration. It concludes with a chapter comparing administrative issues in Australia with many of the subjects previously addressed with regard to U.S. protocol. Using a range of perspective, differing viewpoints, and controversial issues, Handbook of Police Administration provides a springboard to stimulate discussion at the cutting-edge of debate in the dynamic field of policing.

Download or read book Uneasy Peace: The Great Crime Decline, the Renewal of City Life, and the Next War on Violence written by Patrick Sharkey and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Admirably connects two stories about the criminal legal system that are usually told separately. One is that the country that Americans live in is safer than it has been for a long time. The other story is that for some citizens, especially African-American men, the country that they live in is not free.” —Paul Butler, New York Times Book Review From the late ’90s to the mid-2010s, American cities experienced an astonishing drop in violent crime, dramatically changing urban life. In many cases, places once characterized by decay and abandonment are now thriving, the fear of death by gunshot wound replaced by concern about skyrocketing rents. In Uneasy Peace, Patrick Sharkey, “the leading young scholar of urban crime and concentrated poverty” (Richard Florida, author of The Rise of the Creative Class and The New Urban Crisis) reveals the striking effects: improved school test scores, because children are better able to learn when not traumatized by nearby violence; better chances that poor children will rise into the middle class; and a marked increase in the life expectancy of African American men. Some of the forces that brought about safer streets—such as the intensive efforts made by local organizations to confront violence in their own communities—have been positive, Sharkey explains. But the drop in violent crime has also come at the high cost of aggressive policing and mass incarceration. From Harlem to South Los Angeles, Sharkey draws on original data and textured accounts of neighborhoods across the country to document the most successful proven strategies for combating violent crime and to lay out innovative and necessary approaches to the problem of violence. At a time when crime is rising again, the issue of police brutality has taken center stage, and powerful political forces seek to disinvest in cities, the insights in this book are indispensable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Eve of Destruction: The Systematic Destruction of America and its Values Tender Topics was written to provoke thought about the devastating damage occurring in our country and world. I want your blood to boil as you digest each and every word. In other words, these are controversial topics meant to get you all worked up! I hope it even makes you angry. If it does, that means you are thinking and perhaps coming up with solutions. I need to acknowledge Barry Maguire whose 1960s song "The Eve of Destruction" was the inspiration for the title of this book! This book was written to elicit feelings, emotions, and responses in you, my readers, that you might not particularly like. I want you to understand that it is okay to have mixed feelings. I had to deal with the same emotions as you when I was writing this book. None of us are immune to hatred, violence, bullying, and so many other things. We do have the ability to control and fix much of this if we just have the intestinal fortitude to confront these issues. It is an ugly country and world we live in right now. All of us don't want to acknowledge it because it shows us for what we really are. The Eve of Destruction is a great title because all of us at different times see the worldwide decline in the sanctity of life. Yet we don't seem to want to do anything to stop it. We all show our prejudices toward each other at one time or another! I guess that is human nature. It is my sincere hope that the words in this book change the mindset we have. We must take every step we can to rid ourselves of our biases. It just takes a little courage to accomplish it. If you believe that we can all be better human beings, then we are on the right path. We, all of us, need to stamp out hate, violence, and bullying once and for all. Our entire society demands it. It is wreaking havoc on every level of humanity! Humanity, now there is a word that we have lost sight of. It is time that we turn the page and get back to kindness, respect, love, and peace. Our children and grandchildren deserve nothing less! From the words of Patrick Kohlmann... Kindness is contagious... RIP Patrick...
