Editorial Reviews

Review

"A Treasury Of Police Humor is probably one of the funniest and most insightful books ever written about police work." -- Cynthia Brown, editor of American Police Beat

"A very funny and clever book." -- Eric Wollman, TV host of the police talk show Second To None

"CHP officers always take their duties seriously, but Gaspirtz's cartoons allow them to take themselves a little lighter." -- Carol Perri, editor of The California Highway Patrolman

"Gaspirtz's cartoons are very humorous and down to earth. They reflect the real life of police officers and what they have to face every day, but in a funny, stress-relieving way." -- David Armitage, The Police Shield

"In the rigid and structured world of law enforcement, it's refreshing to see illustrations that capture the human side of police officers while making us smile. Gaspirtz's cartoons are always objects of joy and entertainment around the office." -- Cisco Mendoza, Texas Highway Patrol Magazine

From the Publisher

If you are looking for a perfect gift that is sure to put a smile on someone's face, look no further than Oliver Gaspirtz's latest book, A Treasury of Police Humor. In light of all the negative press police officers had to endure over the past few years it is a pleasure to find a book that does not focus on a few bad cops, but shows the human side of the many good cops. A Treasury of Police Humor is a tribute to all the hard working men and women in law enforcement, who risk their lives every day for an often less than grateful public. The book contains over 100 cartoons, strange but true police reports, weird news from around the world, stupid criminals, and funny top ten lists.

5.0 out of 5 stars a needed chuckle...., September 1, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: A Treasury of Police Humor (Paperback)
The sky is too often gray in law enforcement; sometimes it's black. "A Treasury of Police Humor" provides a much-appreciated ray of light. Gaspirtz' book allows cops to laugh at themselves and each other, and civilians to laugh with them, without any ill-will or malice. A delightful book; I chuckled throughout.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Hilarious, Innovative, and Long Overdue", August 28, 1999
By 
This review is from: A Treasury of Police Humor (Paperback)
Finally, someone has written a book that captures the lighter side of police work. As a 29 year law enforcement veteran and author, it is refreshing to see someone like Oliver, put into words (and cartoons) the emotions COPS often feel. A fascinating book everyone, including COPS should read.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a clever and funny book., September 3, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: A Treasury of Police Humor (Paperback)
A Treasury of Police Humor really tickles the funny bone -- which is located midway between the baton ring and the flashlight holder. This book is must reading for friends and family of law enforcement officers, as well as any member of the service, for its gentle insights into police work.
