[Jennifer Orlando]

The stories we normally hear about police officers aren't as light-hearted as this! While I'm sure he has a plethora of other stories to tell that aren't as light-hearted as this, it's nice to read something so easily engaging! If you have a celeb lover or a cop in the family ( or wife or parents of cops, this will set them a little at ease!) GET THIS FOR THEM! Definitely on my list for christmas...
