Easy Reading, great perspective of police work.

I have just finished reading "Boot" by William C. Dunn. This is an excellent book on police work and the perspective of a rookie cop. I am a sergeant, just shy of completing thirty years on the LAPD, and currently work with Bill. I am his supervisor. Bill's book is easy reading and well written. His stories are insightful, and brought back memories of my rookie year. I enjoyed reading his book. I sincerely hope he writes another one. If, and when he does, I will buy it and read it. His style of writing makes it so you don't want to put the book down, you want to keep on reading. Great job, Bill

A must read for county supervisors & city council members

Cops are always trying to get the elected folks who are in charge of their purse strings to spend some time with them in a patrol car before they vote on the police staffing levels, facilities and equipment. This book is a must read for them. Before you vote for the next supervisor or city council member your ought to ask them the question. Have you read LAPD Officer William Dunn's book called Boot? Have you ever done a ride-a-long in a patrol car?

Boot is also very educational tool and recommended reading for the growing corps of citizen volunteers across America who are becoming active in community oriented police (COP) programs.

Lastly, Bill Dunn makes it clear why every police department in the nation is beating on the doors of the LAPD to recruit its seasoned officers.

A Great Insight Into the LAPD

I just finished this book and found it to be a quick read with plenty of information about police work not usually available to the public. Dunn not only accurately describes a police officer's rookie year but includes those "victorys" and "defeats" every cop experiences.If you're considering a career in law enforcement or just plain want to know more about those men and women who are sent out to put it on the line, this is the book to read.

The Bomb! ! !

If your thinking about joining the force, you "must" read this book.

Interesting look at the 'hood from the other side.

It's always interesting to see the darker side of your neighborhood. I've lived in the north end of Southwest area for eleven years, and recognize many of the place and a few of the events. Officer Dunn's diary of his boot year was engaging and exciting, and his writing style concise. It's an easy and engrossing read. I'm glad he chose to be one of LA's finest, and hope he rotates through Southwest again. I also hope he's taking notes at his new assignment for his second book. And BTW amazon - change the title to "LAPD" from "Lapd."
