Book Description

March 31, 2003 1592860451 978-1592860456
Narc Ops takes the reader inside the world of drug enforcement and the inner workings of the drug culture. The author explains what is going on in our “War on Drugs.” The book explains how the police fight the battle in the covert world of illicit drug use and distribution. The reader will experience undercover buys, search warrant executions, along with everything else the police officer experiences when working this particular type of assignment. The author takes the reader from the “mean” streets to the anesthetic courtrooms and lets you know how to win the battles on both fronts. Experiences are the name of the game here and these are shared throughout the book, giving you first had knowledge of what is being done to protect our society from those who wish to prey on us. We often fear what we don’t understand and Narc Ops is an attempt to shed a realistic light on what is going on while the rest of us work, play, and sleep.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not your ordinary cop book, May 27, 2003
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: NARC Ops (Paperback)
The problem with most of the police-oriented books - whether fiction or non-fiction - that seem to flood the market is that most authors in the genre tend to shoot for one extreme or the other. On one side we see tales of glamor and grandeur (mostly thanks to the expectations that Hollywood has helped to create). On the other side, one sees authors who try so hard to be blunt and forceful that it's no longer possible to shock or surprise us.

Simply stated, Narc Ops is a great book and a highly informative read for much the same reason that Cops is a successful TV show. Ferency draws from what is obviously a very deep well of personal knowledge and experience in order to paint a fascinating picture of day-to-day narcotics enforcement in America. From undercover drug buys to routine surveillance, meth labs and the hidden dangers of "club drugs," this book covers a great deal of subjects at a readily digestible pace.

For anyone interseted in a true and accurate look at narcotics enforcement, this book is a must.

5.0 out of 5 stars New education, June 23, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: NARC Ops (Paperback)
Books like Narc Ops should be introduced into university classrooms. Kids constantly study: where law comes from, how law is applied, and who was involved in bringing law to the United States without ever actually looking at the real jobs done by law enforcement officers, narcotics officers, and correctional officers. This book really lets you see the inside of crime from those individuals that dedicate their lives to stopping it.
