Frank DeSario shares his almost forty year career in a vivid account of his experiences with the Boston Police department. The Mafia, the gangland slayings, the Combat Zone, bussing and the resulting racial issues and riots, the thugs and the corruption are all discussed with a first hand look at the events. Frank also shares the glamorous side of his job which included escorting high profile celebrities, religious leaders and political leaders during their visits to the Boston area. The photos are vivid but give the reader a close look at what it was like to be a cop in Boston during the last four decades. He proudly covets his #1 badge as a symbol of strength, integrity, honor and pride.

Fantastic account from a first hand perspective of what it is like to patrol the streets during the past 4 decades. Frank DeSario is a local hero and all should have the pleasure of reading the memoirs of his illustrious career. Thanks for sharing Frank!
