Paperback version of police memoir by David Leonard
One moment, New Jersey state trooper Mike Russell was working undercover, playing the role of an up-and-coming mobster hoping to infiltrate a Mafia family crew. The next, he was lying facedown in an alley after being ambushed and shot in the back of the head by a mobster over a dispute. Russell miraculously healed, and rather than press charges, he maintained his cover. Soon he had a stroke of good luck when he saved a man from an attack by two street thugs. The man he saved turned out to be Andy Gerardo, one of the ranking captains of the Genovese crime family. Quickly earning the trust of his new friend, Russell would orchestrate one of the biggest Mafia takedowns of all time. Urged by his police handlers, Russell used his cover story---an ex-cop fired for excessive force who now made his living from an oil-delivery business---and street skills to assimilate into the Genovese crime family in New Jersey, ultimately leading to more than fifty arrests of mobsters, corrupt prison officials, and even a state senator. Straddling the thin line between collecting evidence and participating in the very crimes he was leaking to the cops, Russell consistently placed himself at risk—especially when his police handlers disregarded his wishes and his well-being, conducting premature raids on the gangsters. With his marriage suffering and his family in danger, Russell took extraordinary steps to ensure his financial security and safety, demanding better terms from the police and allowing a film crew to document the final moments of the epic bust for a documentary that was later sold to HBO. A real-life version of The Sopranos, Undercover Cop immerses readers in the colorful yet harrowing trials of a standout cop who faced the mob on his own terms, crippled organized crime in New Jersey, and forever redefined undercover law enforcement.
In this brutally honest portrait, Sergeant Michael Middleton--a now-retired veteran of the LAPD--tells the gripping tale of his two decades on some of the America's meanest streets.
One of the most popular questions cops get asked is "What's the funniest thing that's ever happened to you on the job?" Well, we set out to gather a few funny stories from across North America and compiled them into this eBook with some stories you will want to read again and again to laugh at and share with your friends. So many times in the career of law enforcement officers, you end up saying "You just can't make this stuff up!" So, here are some insights as to the sorts of things that we have laid eyes on or experienced that we hope you'll enjoy! Please be aware that the stories in this book are REAL and some involve recounting nudity or other PG-16+ situations that you may want to consider if you find such real situations (that cops see and have to learn to laugh at) offensive.
This book was written primarily for the non-police reader. However, it was subjected to "peer review" for accuracy and content. Read what experienced law enforcement professionals say about "Cop Talk." None have received any compensation for their opinions. "Most people's opinion of police work is derived from the embellished concept delivered daily by Hollywood to our theaters and television. Sergeant Bob Sherman's reflective writing style places the reader next to him as he patrols the streets. He delivers the unpredictable events that interject themselves into the daily life of a police officer. From the need to be able to make "split second" decisions under pressure to being able to laugh at the follies of mankind, his concise writing of each chapter allows the reader to set the book down and pick it up later without missing a "beat" and begin a new adventure." James M. Paoletti, Chicago Police Department, Captain (retired) / Chief of Police, Crete Illinois (retired) "Sergeant Bob Sherman writes with meticulous attention to detail, a realistic approach, and sound police tactics. His straightforward style provides a safe haven for readers to experience the life of a career police officer." Undersheriff Bob Peterson, Orange County, California, Sheriff 's Office "Sergeant Bob's book draws you right in! Finishing one chapter, you are keen to see what the next one is all about. A lot of policing between the USA and the United Kingdom is so similar, but for the carrying of firearms and the onerous responsibilities when they are used and discharged." Constable Roger Parker, Retired Patrol Officer, Police Vehicle Technology Specialist, Central Motorway Police Group, England

Body cams and dashcams have fundamentally transformed law enforcement in recent years. These innovations can help prove someone committed a crime, or didn't. Real-life footage has cleared people initially accused of wrongdoing, and in certain instances even implicated officers. But that same type of footage can also be used to clear police falsely accused of misdeeds. From allegations of harassment or bias to false arrests or even criminal conduct, these videos can prove officers did not cross a line as sometimes they are alleged to have done. Breaking Blue is the first book that shares real stories of cops accused of wrongdoing and subsequently cleared. Charges may have been brought against them, Internal Affairs may have started an investigation, but in many cases, thanks to the officer’s body cam or dashcam videos, the true story came to light, with charges ultimately dismissed or initial convictions overturned. Sergeant Sean “Sticks” Larkin of the Tulsa Police Department Gang Unit and host of the Reelz show On Patrol: Live, presents real stories of officers falsely accused. . .. including his own. ?presents real stories of officers falsely accused. . .. including his own.
