Best Book about being a NYC Cop!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Brooklyn Bounce: The True-Life Adventures of a Good Cop in a Bad Precinct (Paperback)
I have alot of first hand experince with this subject matter and can tell you that this book will give a reader the best idea of what working on the NYPD is like. I read the book in one sitting it was that good. I don't normaly read cop books, but I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in what they do. The author pulls no punches when he describes the job and he lays out the nature of the beast in an unheroic and truthful manner. The book is the best education a person can get on being a NYC cop without actually having to wear the uniform. Joe Poss and Henry Schlesinger have really put together an exceptional book. Well done! A review from one of the finest.

FANTASTIC!!,
By SGM "PO PO" (NYC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brooklyn Bounce: The True-Life Adventures of a Good Cop in a Bad Precinct (Paperback)
Was an excellent book! It portrays the stories of a NYPD officer that honestly describes life 'trying' to protect the Ghetto in the roughest neighborhood within East New York (Brooklyn). It is a must have for all the individuals interested in true police stories. It is a short and sweet type of book that will have you wanting more. Out of all the cop books that I have read, this one is number one on my list. Poss shows the truth behind police work in the NYPD. Crime has gone down in the 75th Precinct, East New York, but this book shows how bad it can get in there. He displays the politics of the NYPD and why cops act the way they do when they are dispatched to calls. This is a must have book.
