Beskrivelse

In this true-crime story, a young police officer takes you inside the real LAPD, the one where hard-working, sometimes all-too-human beat cops battle to do their job: protecting and serving. To accomplish this, they must often navigate some mean streets, low rent motels and trash strewn alleys that are occupied by dangerous, albeit oftentimes colorful, criminals.

Los Angeles, as seen through the eyes of Officer Dunn, is a volatile, constantly changing landscape. To be a good cop, and survive the experience, Dunn quickly learns from some unforgettable veteran beat cops what it is like to try to lay down the law on inner city streets. Dunn's dispatches from the frontlines of LA are dramatic, humorous and touching. Every day there is another drive-by shooting, high-speed chase, or bizarre situation to be dealt with.

The neighborhood landscapes that Dunn encounters are pocketed with infamous gangs. His insights and history regarding street gangs such as the Crips and Bloods - and the notorious El Salvadoran gang MS-13 - are both gripping and informative.

Dunn offers some of the most compelling insights into the challenges facing a young street cop - and what it is like to be a police officer in one of America's most dangerous policing districts. This is an effective, forceful report from the front lines of America's war on crime.
