Signal 63:Officer Needs Help,
By
This review is from: Signal 63: Officer Needs Help (Paperback)
Signal 63: Officer Needs Help is a book written by Harold B. Goldhagen, retired Captain, APD, 1962 - 1992. Harold worked many assignments, including a long stint in homicide.As I read this book I could recall many of the experiences he writes about. Harold is a teriffic writer who causes you to experience the emotions of laughter, anger, pity, empathy, sympathy, disdain, disgust and many other emotions, but most importantly, PRIDE in the courgage and determination of those who would not give up. Those of us who have worn the badge, walked in the mist of evil, carnage, despair, and fear, can readily identify with Harold and his experiences as a husband, father and police officer. As you read this well written book you will say to yourself, "I was there!" Harold tells no lies, pulls no punches, sugar coats nothing. I strongly recommend this book to ALL of those who have worn the Badge of Courage, who have served as officers of the court and the Criminal Justice System. Berlyn Compton Captain, retired APD PS: Please forward this to all your law enforcement friends and to those friends who respect those who wear the Badge.

Compelling & Non-stop Action,

This review is from: Signal 63: Officer Needs Help (Paperback)
Goldhagen has written an excellent book that covers not only his career, but also the history of some of the major events that took place in Atlanta since the early sixties.His stories about race relations, the cheating scandal and the political nonsense are informative, exciting and often, very touching. The action is continuous- this book was hard to put down!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Must read for Police Officers,
By
This review is from: Signal 63: Officer Needs Help (Paperback)
" Signal 63 " is a superb book! I could not put it down ! I was really surprised at the honest and exciting accounts of life as an Atlanta Cop. I am now retired from this department. I spent over 34 years there and worked with Harold Goldhagen many of these years. I have always considered Capt. Goldhagen as one of the most honest , straightforward , highly qualified , and effective police supervisors in the Atlanta Police Dept. He has excelled in painting an accurate picture of the good officers , as well as the incompetent political hacks who were promoted by corrupt politicians. By the way , Hagen and Goldhagen were indeed a fine Team ! Retired Major Larry D. Loy
