You've seen all the cop shows on television, you've read about police escapades in various mainstream novels and you've seen the John Walsh show on TV. But if you really want to know what it's like strapped to a two-ton police cruiser, chasing murder suspects, being shot at, seeing your friends crash into trains, take a look through the eyes of an EIGHTEEN-YEAR OLD policeman in sunny California. The book is written from the viewpoint and the eyes of California's youngest policeman at the time, in the turbulent 70s, the end of the Vietnam War and during the escapades of the Sibianses Liberation Army. What really happens on patrol during the late night hours, when the 'normal' people are in bed? What do the cops do to entertain themselves when there are no robberies, shootings or rapes? Do policeman really care or this just another job? Find out, ride along and hold on for the ride! Everything in the book is true, unabridged and tells the good, the bad and the ugly.
