Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Ride with me in Portland, Oregon while I chase a stolen car into the Willamette River, catch burglars with arms full of stolen tools, and wrestle violent criminals. Portland is a large metropolitan city, where in one month, an officer may wrestle knives and guns from suspects, take bank robbery calls, intervene in dangerous drug busts, and chase drunk drivers and run away teens. Guns are commonplace. Knives are an everyday experience. Felony arrests are nearly routine. Police work is dangerous, threatening, exciting work, and rewarding work. Ride with me. When I applied for the position of police officer, an interviewer asked why? I replied, "Because being on the street, in a patrol car, is where it's at!" I still feel that way, but I can no longer be on the street in a patrol car. Wish I could. Perhaps, I wrote this book, simply, longing for what used to be, but it is only the good things for which we long, and being a police officer was nearly the best in the world. The title, True Police Stories mostly In the City of Roses, was carefully chosen as an attempt to explain that while these are true events, as they happened, they are not accurate police-blotter transcripts. Reading actual police reports would put you to sleep before you finished this single page of introduction. Ray Tercek, in, The Investigation of Pepe Chavez et al, used a word that, I think, sums it up. While these stories are true, I took license with them to make them interesting and to attempt to explain, to the non-police officer, what was happening. The stories in this book are all true, or nearly so. All the officers in this book were employed by the Portland Police Bureau except one. One story features a Seattle Police Officer and the best cop I ever met. I went on a ride-along with him one night, and encountered such an interesting story that I just had to incorporate it into my book. It was my supreme honor to be a member of the Portland Police Bureau and to work with the greatest group of people in the world. I miss the people as much as the job, itself. I am no longer a police officer. In some weird way, that is akin to losing a best friend. It helps to write about my loss. That almost sounds silly, but writing these stories down was like living them again. The entire experience of writing this book was fun. That's all. Should there be more?

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. It was a strange day, a strange day, indeed. The Chief of Police was sitting in the wrong chair. He was in the defense chair, and he just plead guilty to murder. "Let me make sure that I get this perfectly clear," began the judge with a careful and slow voice. "Say, again, how you plead to Murder in the First Degree? Did you murder Keith Simmons?" Chief of Police Frank Hardwin was fifty by a week. He was big and gregarious, and he was loved by everyone. But he had a demon. The whole town knew he loved a married woman- and the whole town understood. Unfortunately, the woman's husband did not understand. It was also unfortunate that for a few minutes on a lonely bridge, in the middle of the night, the Chief's demon took over; he killed a man- the woman's husband, of course. The chief stumbled with his words of confession. They came out halting at first. and then spilled out with a simple and final, "Guilty. I am.guilty. I killed Keith Simmons. I threw him off the bridge into Burney Creek. I didn't mean to. I., he fell and drowned, and I am the one who pushed him off the bridge, so I guess I killed him, all right. I just plead guilty." The judge asked for extenuating circumstances, for some reason for the killing, for some way of mitigating a Murder One to something less. But Frank Hardwin would not give the judge any excuse to reduce the charges. The Chief of Police just hung his head and refused further comment. Courtroom gossipers in the back row could hardly hear the gavel as it reluctantly dropped. "Sentencing set for a week from Tuesday." Ron Priest, a retired Springfield, Oregon police officer was in the back row. Something was wrong with the chief's plea; he could sense it. He sought a woman's point of view and turned to his long, dead wife for her opinion. She smiled. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. For Rob, this special day felt like. like. a vacation, which, of course, it was. It is one thing, however, to be on vacation and quite another to feel like one is on vacation. Rob felt it. It was a rare and glorious day. The sun was warm, and the air was crisp with the smell of salt. The sky was a sparkling Pacific blue to die for. Surfboarders dotted the horizon. Dozens of vacationers waded in the tide pools and shallows inspecting behind every rock, nook, and cranny for starfish or mussels, for sea crabs and for treasures, for dreams and for wishes. Dory boat trailers stood silent and abandoned, while their boats and crews could be seen on the horizon plying the ocean depths for cod, and salmon, and for dreams, and for wishes. It was a Cape Cod Day in Oregon. It would remain so. for about ten minutes. His vacation ended abruptly. Rob Smith spied his uncle's body in the surf below. He jumped off the high cliff his arms all akimbo. The wind ripped the sunglasses from his face. He tried to scream, but the wind tore his scream away and threw it up with his sunglasses. Then he hit the water. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
