Product Description

Please allow us to take a few minutes of your time to introduce our book, and ourselves, to you.

CopTalk was written by Police Officers, on laptop computers, in the middle of the night, on lunch breaks, coffee breaks, and in between responding to calls for service. Over 12,000 hours of writing time has been invested in the production of CopTalk. It is not a book about cops! It is a book on how to make your life safer, and it suggests many ways to lesson the chance of becoming victimized by crime, fires, and medical emergencies.

CopTalk is 288 pages and 86 chapters of how not to make costly mistakes – some of which can have tragic consequences.

CopTalk can help someone with suggestions on how to get out of domestic violence situations CopTalk can help someone from having their car stolen or broken into. CopTalk can help someone rid their street of drug dealing or gang activity CopTalk can help someone present a case in traffic court. CopTalk can help someone deal with the anxiety of being contacted by an officer. CopTalk can help someone with the challenges of raising today’s teenagers. CopTalk can help someone avoid a DUI arrest.

CopTalk is packed with page after page of real life mistakes others have made, and is equally filled with page after page of tips and suggestions as to how to avoid duplicating those mistakes.

Our project began in late 1998, typing a little bit here, and a little bit there. But after thousands of hours of work, we are now proud to introduce the fully revised and edited version!

Our goal is to educate the public based on the philosophy in which CopTalk was written.

"There’s never a cop around when you need one….."

If people knew what steps they could take to protect themselves from being victimized, that would allow hundreds and hundreds of officers across the nation to concentrate on preventing serious crime – instead of writing report after report about Mr. Wilson’s stereo being stolen from his unlocked car.

"What you don’t know will SHOCK you"

CopTalk was written to show people what they are doing wrong – and what they can do better. And yes, if people knew the chances they take everyday – they would be shocked.

Chances with their vehicles.
Chances with their property.
Chances with their Children!

We are working cops – not business people. We are not distributors or retailers. We are just a small group of guys who want to get up on top of a mountain and scream out – "Wake up!"

Aside from our daily duties as officers, we maintain a personal safety website packed full of safety information and stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Imaginative new way of looking at the subject..., September 28, 2003
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Have you ever been pulled over and just wonder why?

Have you ever wondered why they is not that cop there when you need them?

Do you think you are safe in todays society?

Well Coptalk actually answers those questions - it is written in a style we all can understand... I was worried it was just another book about cops - but I was mistaken - It is all about us the normal everyday citizen and how we should be watching certain things to keep ourselves safe... It is not a daming view on society but rather a book full of checklists of what to look for in different situations to keep us safe..

Thanks for the great title - I am definately telling my friends and family... I will keep this copy as my personal referance copy..

5.0 out of 5 stars They tell it like it is...., October 5, 2003
By A Customer
Crime is everywhere and there are not any safe places left. I bought the book because it looked interesting. The information I got from the book was far more than I expected. The book gives examples of how people became the victim of crime and then gives tips on how to avoid making the same mistakes. Some of the mistakes that people made in the book are things that I used to do daily. Although some of the topics are just plain common sense, the book helped me change the way I do some things and to take extra precautions. The book reminds everyone that crime is the result of opportunity. Take away the opportunity and you can avoid becoming a victim of crime. I enjoyed reading the book and will recommend it to my friends and family.
