Well, we'll start out by telling you what this book is NOT... it is not going to be like another episode of Starsky & Hutch or NYPD Blue, or One Adam 12, or heaven forbid, as old as Dragnet or Hill Street Blues or as recent and as wrong as the popular current running TV Blue Bloods, where seemingly, a single family handles the country's largest city 's police department's toughest police problems, seemingly all alone. That's what it is NOT about.
OK, that said, Danielle and I wrote this book from memory, so it is made up entirely of our own personal viewpoints about real police calls, as Neil experienced them in person from the street, and then, from Danny's County Jail perspective, as on occasion, it was Neil's arrest and Danny's booking of the very same person. How unusual but true that following practically every night's experience from the job, Neil is allowed to tell a single story of a particular police call from that night's work, and Danny relays back to him, a story from inside the jail, and at times, it was two sides of the same, crime, arrest, and jail booking!
Now as we write, years and years later, Neil is automatically brought back to his old police partners who were always next to him in two-man squads, so it's a somewhat sad and a very emotional reunion, as almost all are now gone. For Danny, it is also sometimes a similar pleasant experience mainly, but one cut short by the way she was forced off the job by dirty politics and a powerful old-time then elected County Sheriff.
Neil simply wrote about and numbered the calls in the order that he remembered them, so that by reading them now, one after the other, many other memories always continue to come rushing back to him, again. It can give him and now including his new partner reader, you, the sensation that we're all together re-living a call that hopefully transfers us all back in time, so now any number of readers can feel to some degree the mental feelings, in the high points of the cop's adventure, and the sad reality thoughts that every call still brings to everybody, that it was then, and can still be a lesson now.
To new readers, you are free to assume any player's part in any call, as police work was an intense series of highly personal happenings that each pulled us partners into it as if we were then and forever, becoming part of it forever.
So please, feel free to imagine yourself in any role and in any call, that you're reading about, such that you can understand the power of emotions that brought partner officers together for life, as Police Work Was Never Really Done. Pleasant Feelings do come back again, anytime, just think back and you'll remember, and you'll say to yourself, that stuff really happened! That's nice, because for us, we'll always have those times, Danny and Me, we're proud of what we did then, and now, of course, it will always include You too.
