Step into the shoes of a Chicago Police Officer, and accompany him as he embarks on his career in the fall of 1986. See what cops really do and say when there are no cameras rolling. and relive the author's experiences, from recruit training through his years as a Patrolman and Tactical Officer working the South and West Side of Chicago, as well as the city's notorious Public Housing Projects. See the world through his eyes and experience the highs as well as the lows, culminating in the high-speed pursuit and the horrific crash that ultimately ends his police career. This riveting and insightful account covers a wide range of real life situations and events, and offers a rare glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes, and takes us into the squad car, inside the police station, and into the officer's mind. This book is about Chicago's Blue Shirts, as they fight crime, as well as the trickle-down stupidity of the bureaucracy. As one old-timer put it succinctly, this job consists of three equal parts: "Wit, Grit, and Bullshit." The author also addresses the difficulties experienced by Officers who have been catastrophically injured in the line of duty: "We find ourselves in a particularly difficult position. With our careers - and the sum of our accomplishments - frozen in time, we are neither here nor there... We dwell on memories of events that our comrades have long since left behind, or would just as soon forget altogether. Like the Department and the City, they have moved on, for better or for worse.
