Some people seem to want to get into the job of police work for the promotion in rank. These are the ones who seem to be low-keyed and uniform in their ways. Some people want to get into the job in order to make a difference in their cities and in their communities; these are usually the ones who are the most disappointed in the job. Some people want to get into police work for the excitement of crowd control and the lure of the narcotics trade; for the power and authority of being in control. I have no idea what is wrong with these people. And then, there are us. The loners. The ones who get into the job because we were born to it. The ones who want to get into the real stuff. We don't really care about the glory nor the promotions nor the rank. We want to stay on the street for as long as we are in the job. We want to stay as line policemen, with none of the babysitting responsibilities of rank. We never want to ever 'drive' a desk.We are the true street police officers; the purists. The ones who are forever testing themselves against whatever is out there. And we are rare. We do not usually get to last very long in this job, for one reason or another, but while we are in it, we do seem to get an awfully lot done in a very short period of time. And we are the ones who have the best war stories. Because this is why we signed on.The stories in this book are the reminiscences of a father and his two sons from their days in law enforcement. The stories restrict themselves to actual police work incidents. These stories actually happened, and are a slice of life that we experienced behind the badge. Enjoy.
