This is a pretty good book.  It came out in 2002, has some interesting stories and good pictures too.  I am a retired officer from that agency, and of course there are some things I felt should have been mentioned that were not, but it was accurate and overall, I liked it.

Interesting this occured not far from the Lansing area. Like reading about the history of Lansing and the sheriff history as well.

The politics of the Jackson years are suprisingly similar to the present. The pettiness of politicians never changes. Jackson was a man of the people who saved the Union from the sucessionists, but at the same time was a slaveholder and ultimately responsible for the death of thousands of Native Americans. Jon Meacham shows the good and the bad of President Jackson.

Documents the history of the mob in America.  Meticulously researched and told with flair.  Would highly recommend this book for anyone interested in the history of organized crime or for the casual reader of police stories.

Timothy Moore's account of the Ernesto Miranda story is an interesting quick read about good old fashion police work. But more than that he recaps the details of a police case that changed how the criminal justice system operates not for just Phoenix but the entire United States. The Supreme Courts decision in Miranda v. Arizona had an impact on law enforcement nation wide.  The book is worth the read as it tells the details of how this case changed how police work has been done ever since. Very well written!

I really enjoyed reading this book. I didn't know much about Andrew Jackson before reading the book but I learned a great deal in a short time. The book flowed well and followed Jackson from birth, his early life, the revolution, his business ventures, duels,  through wars, the presidency, and death. The material was so interesting I found myself flying through the book.

Jackson was involved with the Indian wars, Florida, New Orleans, and even Texas be it in battle or influence. I think everyone intersted in American history and important figures of our past should read this book.

I really enjoyed this book,it was a delightful look behind the scenes and headlines that were the 2004 L.A. Lakers. In this book Jackson toches on everything, the addition of Gary Payton and Karl Malone and the expectations that go with signing 2 future hall of famers, The Kobe Bryant distratctions and the fued between Kobe and Shack. Jackson, thank goodness, was pursuaded to keep a journal of the season and asd a reader we are invited to share in those enteries in this book. With all that went on with the lakers during this season, they should be appluaded for even reaching the finals. This was not an easy team to coach or were the conditions easy to manage, But Jackson guided this team to the NBA Finals, like a hall of fame coach that he is. If you are a sports fan and looking for a good read, pick this up!!!

This documentary presents a concise, detailed, and truthful look at Michael Jackson's 2005 child molestation trial and the 1993 allegations that preceded it.  If you want to know the REAL story, without all the innuendos and gossip from the general media, you must order this DVD.

With my own law enforcement experience, growing up in Greater Kansas City, and having many friends in KCMO PD, I've always been interested in the Department's history. This book did not disappoint! If I could, I would like to shake Captain Heinen's hand!

I enjoyed this book by the former Police Chief of New York Ray Kelly.  He shows how difficult it is to protect a major American city.  I enjoyed the history of this man and how he made it through the ranks of the New York Police.  One of the longest chapters in this book was the 16 incidents that have happened since 9/11 when terrorists tried to inflict a major loss of life on the city.  This shows how radical Islamists are still targeting the Empire City, and how they have been defeated.  I suspect that our luck and skill will not hold on forever.

I commend Ray Kelly for his years of civil service.  He has made the police department a better tool of local government.  Our society needs more people like him.  A nice read on the duties of a civil servant in today's environment.

Excellent book on both Andrew Jackson and John Ross, the leader of the Cherokee Nation. These two interacted for decades from soon after the War of 1812 when they teamed up to war with the Choctaws. Each chapter alternated between Jackson and Ross and involved the politics that each leader experienced, conducted and created. Jackson was headstrong to conquer and to buy land. Ross was headstrong to make the Cherokee nation respected and secure. Unfortunately, the State of Georgia lobbied hard to get the Cherokees removed and Jackson found this useful to achieve his goals of removing all Native Americans from the east of the Mississippi.  Well researched by the author, I enjoyed this a great deal.

A great book that, while fictional, can offer an inside look of a police department.  I definitely recommend this book; I found it to be a real page turner!

This is a well written book by a former Dallas Police Captain and the author of the Hall Street Shootout.  It is a must read for those who are interested in the way policing was done and those that want to learn some history of Dallas and the Dallas Police Department.

Entertaining with a great story behind Jackson.

SHORT SUMMARY: Jackson dives into his past memories to put them into a memory stone.  They are memories right before his engagement to Lea up to the time he travels to Peachville.  Jackson does this in preparation for a proposal to Harper.

This was very interesting, and was amazing to me how much the community was able to "get away" with doing after it would seem justice was not served by the law. I'd always heard about "Jeff Davis Hill" but did not know the story behind it. It really brought to life the history of the area where I now live.

Great book on the inner working of the NY City police department. I always knew the prime objection of the NYPD brass was to minimize crime rates, by whatever methods available, shady, or not so shady, and brush any possible police corruption, which meant bad publicity, under the rug. But Levitt spells it all out, which, in the long run, did not endear him to the powers that be at One Police Plaza.

Such is the life of an honest reporter.
