Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Ever wonder what it is like to be on the other side of a 9-1-1 call? Come along for the ride. View the world through the windshield of a patrol unit and behind the yellow tape of crime scenes. Past the Uniform is autobiographical, and for those wishing to enter the exciting, ever-changing and challenging world of law enforcement, it is a fabulous resource. Join a new recruit and his field training officer as they face the joys and frustrations of society as it cries out for help. See life within the hushed society of the police organization. Discover the hurdles facing someone fresh out of the academy. This is an inside look at the human side of being a police officer, past the uniform, the standoffish blue wall of fabric. Roll call is over and we are now ready to patrol.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not so good., February 14, 2009

By	Bradley A. Letsom "B.Letsom" (Camp Arifjan, Kuwait.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Entertaining, yes. Informative, no. It seemed throughout the entire book, the author was just trying to complain about his personal career. I have never seen so many typos in a published book before, and I was continually amazed at how bad the editing was. The author had all kinds of crazy sayings that he kept emphasizing throughout the book, something about being a 14th century ninja in a 21st century world... Get real.
