Anecdotes are told by the real-life cops who experienced them and include:
A foot chase after a dwarf who karate-kicked his girlfriend's door and assaulted her while wearing a tuxedo and carrying a violin case.

A narcotics bust on a guy who claimed the crack cocaineand his pantsdidn't belong to him.
Fun, fast read January 29, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
The stories are broken up in a way that would make it great reading while you are waiting -- at an airport or dr. office -- each story only takes a minute or two to read.
This was a funny, fast read. Some of the stories were better than others, but on the whole, I really enjoyed this book.

I loved it and found it to be really accurate (coming from a long line of men in blue!)
Bigoted stories April 2, 2007 3 out of 10 found this review helpful
I got this book as a birthday present for my 14-year-old sister, who wants to be a cop. Thumbing through it at home before wrapping it, I found that the majority of the stories are based on making fun of people of other races (anyone non-white is a target), people with disabilities (how funny it is to refer to someone as "retardo"), etc etc. Trash. I returned it and will be writing a letter to the publisher.
On the money March 7, 2007 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
As a former NYPD officer this book is on the money! As I was reading the book I could picture all of the stories happening and it made me laugh out loud . It brought back many of the good times I hade on patrol. You really could not make this stuff up. The authors also managed to keep it clean without losing the humor so I was able to give it to my kids to read. If you want a good laugh or need a gift for an officer friend this is the book
