NYPD: Law & Disorder

by Vic Ferrari

A behind the scenes look into the New York City Police Department! Whoever said, "There are eight million stories in the naked city," was never a New York City Police officer. For America's largest city, eight million stories is a drop in the bucket. To keep law and order in a city with nine million people crammed into a concrete jungle, you'll need a highly trained police department. However, things do not always go as planned. In a world where customer service puts you on hold, the police are minutes away when you need them in seconds. From the minute I took an oath to protect and serve, my head was on a swivel. Creative criminals, backstabbing bosses, and a turnstile criminal justice system are just a few of the many obstacles NYPD members face on a daily basis. Fat bastards, faux titles, and a mysterious case of diarrhea, no two days were ever the same throughout my NYPD career. Did you know that hanging your gun belt on the back of a bathroom stall could result in a deadly game of tug of war? Would you believe a kiss ass cop sent to get a chief's lunch was thrown out of a deli after trying to cut through a line of hungry customers? What about the cranky robbery suspect who was pummeled in a police lineup by his fellow fillers? Or the zealous flatfoot who was punched in the nose by a startled dog owner after leaping out of a wooded area to issue her a summons for failing to pick up after her dog? If you've read any of my books, you already know what to expect. A hilarious behind-the-scenes look at the New York City police department, complete with colorful characters and almost unbelievable stories. If you like true crime, Live PD, or are curious about how the NYPD works, you've come to the right place.

Another in a series on the topic the NYPD

I have read several of the authors books. I enjoy his humor, but he really drilled down in on chapter 14 on one of the real causes of our country's problems. Right on , Vic.

A great read authored by a cop

The stories were reminiscent of my late teens/early twenties reading of cop books. The Supercops, Dave Toma & Serpico. I remember the Knapp Commission and what a joke it turned out to be. I enjoy reading true stories the most. Thanks Vic for reminding an old man of better times.

entertaining look behind the scenes of a 20 year NYPD career.

This is an entertaining peek behind the scenes of a 20 year NYPD career. No job anywhere is without drama headaches and funny stories. Redone and learn some of the stories drama and headaches from a retired 20 year veteran of the NYPD.

P

I have really enjoyed all your books . They have brought back many memories when I worked in the 70s as a small town As an police officer. And later as a Corrections Officer for the Oregon Dept. Of Corrections. Men max. Prison. Retired from there and went to work Judge Tom as security. I loved the prison work. So many good memories.

Very Entertaining

I liked this book. It made me laugh out loud a few times. I like Vic's sense of humor. I plan on reading some of his other books.

Great book. Chapter 14 should be printed in every newspaper in USA on the front page . Nobody likes to hear the truth. It’s easier to bury your head in the sand.

Great stories!

A great book about the life of a street cop in the largest police department in the nation. Vic tells it like it is from the funny, to the tragic. Life as a cop is never the same each day. You only know that you will deal with people usually at their worst each day you put on the uniform and walk out that door.
