by Dan Rocheleau

In this gripping memoir, retired Ontario Provincial Police officer Dan Rocheleau shares highlights from his early life and his many years working for various departments in Ontario and Quebec. After his training at police college in Brampton and Aylmer, Ontario, Rocheleau became an undercover officer, helping to investigate and arrest criminals in outlaw motorcycle clubs and within organized-crime groups.

He uses action-packed storytelling to illustrate his dangerous and sometimes amusing experiences, from negotiating with bikers in a motel room to chasing drug smugglers by boat on the St. Lawrence River. He also takes on the darker side of law enforcement in Canada by sharing his encounters with both police corruption and political corruption.

Police work is a challenging job, with many ups and downs, and this book is an intimate look at the impact it had on Rocheleau and his family during his rewarding thirty-year career.

I greatly enjoyed this book. I know the author and heard his voice in my head as the stories unfolded. It was like being back in the cruiser or at a platoon party listening to war stories from my partners and friends. It was the perfect read and I couldn't put it down. Very relatable to cops and Northern Ontario. Thanks Rocky, great job.

I enjoyed this book. I know the author well and his experiences never cease to amaze me. I do wish he carried his stories on and followed them through more as I found I was just getting into the story and he'd move on to another.

I think he should write another book with more detail and let us know what happens to some of these people. Just my thoughts.
