Synopsis

Get ready for an experiment unlike anything you’ve ever imagined, one with an extraordinary twist.
The year: 1977

The place: Philadelphia, a city of nearly two million.
The problem: Out-of-control police corruption.

The “solution”: Transfer every veteran officer out of a notoriously corrupt police district and replace them, overnight, with 147 brand-new rookies fresh from the academy.

No warning. No preparation. Just drop us into a neighborhood drowning in crime, crawling with violent gangs, fueled by an open drug trade, packed with illegal speakeasies, flooded with guns, and guarded by feral dogs roaming the streets. And, for good measure, it also happened to be home to the second-busiest liquor store in the state.

At 11:00 p.m., a teletype announced the order. Veteran cops grabbed their gear and vanished. By midnight, my rookie class rolled in. What we found wasn’t a functioning police district—it was chaos. The station was gutted, cars disabled, the locker rooms trashed. Suddenly, it was up to a bunch of kids with badges and guns to hold the line.

Now, here’s the twist: among those rookies was me, someone who, though undiagnosed at the time, had Asperger syndrome. A district so corrupt and dangerous would have tested the toughest veteran cop. For me, it was something else entirely.

What followed was a baptism by fire, a surreal mix of danger, absurdity, and raw survival.

So step inside the 17th District with me. Read the stories. Feel the madness. And when you’re done, you’ll understand why I say:

When I die, I’m going to Heaven,
because I’ve already been to the 17th District.
