That's my dad on the cover
That's Rick Simmons. He was a sergeant with SDPD who had the roughest beat in the city. So, you should buy this book. :-)

This review is from: Cop World (Hardcover)
If the TV show COPS was based on a book, this is that book. The author compiled the material by going on ridealongs with the San Diego Police Department, which was the only department willing to let him to write about them.Ridealongs were introduced to the SDPD as a part of the COP (Community-Oriented Policing) program which aimed to give the community a better understanding of policework. According to the author, the program was the first of its type in the nation and was established by Norm Stamper. While far from the main focus, the book includes some background and snippets of interviews with Stamper, who years later went on to become the Seattle Police Chief, resigning after the WTO riots. If you love watching COPS, you'll enjoy this book, otherwise leave it alone.
