Power and Truth

You may call me biased, because I'm one of the authors in True Blue. ("The Emotional Switch" Page 32.) However, the stories by my fellow author/police officers included in True Blue, beat anything I've read in terms of power, valor and truth. Randy Sutton's, "Her Name Was Jackie" is one of many such.This book will make you laugh, upset your viewpoint and let you know what it's like to be on the gritty, and often extreme end of both cops and citizen's real life stories. All proceeds from this book go to the survivors of police officers killed in the Sept. 11th attacks.Randy Sutton wrote in my copy of True Blue, "Thanks for being part of the True Blue Family." No Randy. I'm honored. You, Cassie Wells, St. Martin's Press, and all those who buy this book are making a positive difference by giving back to surviving police families who've all lost and given so much.Rocky Warren Sgt.

emotional rollercoaster

An honor to read, and be brought inside the blue line. The best Police stories book because it was written by the cops themselves not told to others to be written. A true look deep behind the thin blue line. An even higher calling that all sales go to NYPD and PAPD charity.. A must read.

amazing

Thank you to all who took the time to share with us the true, happy, sad, fearful and amazing lives of a police officer. I would have never realized the powerful jobs that each of you carry trying to protect us, everyday. Special thanks to Ray Majeski, Sitka, AK, for signing my book for my daughter Hillary--the first one that he signed. Seems he still touching the lives of others, even when he is no longer a police officer. Mary

AWESOME!!!!

As a law enforcement student I read as many of these types of books as possible. "TRUE BLUE" is by far the best... I couldn't put it down! The stories in the book are mesmerizing and because they are true and written by "real" cops makes this book a great read for anybody who wants to know the reality of police work and the dedication put forth in this profession. And as a double bonus..I found out that the proceeds from the sale of the book go to New York City 9-11 survivors fund. BUY THIS BOOK!!!
