About the Book

This book is packed to the gills with true stories from the officers who lived them. This is the primary author's second foray into the true stories that he and his contemporary police officers lived through in the crime-peaking years of the 70's and early 80's. This, his second book, relates stories from an elite group of uniformed street officers who called themselves the "A-Team." Their stories are real and they come alive in the pages of this book. It includes incidents and crimes that are at times dangerous, comical, and deadly. Some are frankly unbelievable to the general public who would frankly rather not believe them. But these Baltimore Police Officers lived them and then had to go home to their families and try to live their own lives normally despite the depravity they see day after day. Reading this book will give you a seldom seen glimpse into the on-duty events, crimes, situations, and circumstances these men face every day in one way or another. How can they live normal lives seeing what they see? How can you, reading what they write? Read on for some dangerous, comical, gruesome, How-in-God's-Name-Could-That-Have-Happened-To-Anyone kinds of stories these officers must experience, survive, take home with them, and then sleep with them . . . and try to raise normal families when all they see are the sadly abnormal dregs of society. Then they must go home and lead normal lives, to go on to marry, raise children, help neighbors, take vacations, and do all of the things the rest of us do, having seen what they've seen - knowing all along they will see and live them all over again the next day. Humor is one defense, and you'll see that in some of their exploits, so different and more personal than what we all watch on TV. This is real life at its most raw. Some officers are haunted by memories, some suppress them, but they all must find their own way to live with them in a "normal" world, coming as they do from a world that is anything but normal. So live what some of them live and share, for their own mental health and yours. Your understanding of what they see is all they ask in return.
