Book Description
The police. You know everything about them. Or do you? To a lot of people, the world of police officers is a secretive and mysterious place. They’re either omnipresent or never around. Saving lives or roughing people up. Being jerks or buying groceries for a family caught shoplifting for food. In reality, all of the above are true. But what’s not known is why it’s true. Like any job, there are things about policing the general public doesn’t know (or want to know) about. And given the age we live in, the proliferation of police experts who don’t know anything about policing has exploded. So many experts with so little knowledge giving away so much bad advice. This is a guide with real life humorous examples on how to successfully deal with police written by a nearly 30-year veteran police sergeant. A guide to improving police-community relations. A guide to understanding why cops do what they do. And most importantly, a guide to avoiding ending your night wearing orange jammies. Oh, and don't forget wearing underwear that hundreds of other people have worn too. Yes, that's what really happens.
