Descrizione prodotto

L'autore

ZACH FORTIER was a Police officer for over 30 years specializing in K-9, SWAT, gang, domestic violence, and sex crimes as an investigator. He has written three books about police work. The first book, CurbChek, is a case-by-case account of the streets as he worked them from the start of his career. The second book, Street Creds, details the time he spent in a gang task force and the cases that occurred. The third book, Curbchek-Reload, is by far the most gritty. The author is danger- ously damaged, suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD) and the day-to-day violence of working the street. Hero To Zero, his fourth book, details the incredibly talented cops that he worked with but ended up going down in flames. Some ended up in prison and one on the FBI's ten most wanted list. If you are looking for gritty, true crime stories, be sure to check out all of Zach Fortier's novels.

Very entertaining but real insight into policing on the streets of the USA. He is a rare breed among men.

Book was an interesting, honest account of a policeman's work. How the department had good and bad within, and how the "yes" men were promoted rather than the men or women who actually did a good job. Many interesting facts about life that we, as people who are not into crime do not realize.

For some people, becoming a policeman can be a calling, a response to idealism, a desire to serve others and to make the world a better place, while others accept the badge much as they would the tools of any other job; still others join the police for all the wrong reasons, and it would have been better for all involved had they instead become bus drivers or plumbers. In "Curbchek," former police officer and detective Zach Fortier takes the reader on an episodic trip through his years as a patrol officer, bringing a harsh light upon both the predators of society and those who are supposed to protect us from them. In a city purposely left vague, we are exposed to acts of bravery and depravity, meet men and women who work through a code of honor and ethics, and are introduced to criminals who are not so bad as society would paint them and police officers who would be in jail were it not for the shields they carry.

All the many chapters are short and concise, laced with both insights and reactionary opinions, and when Fortier writes about something that roused his indignation at the time, his feelings are just as fresh as they were thirty years ago. However, distance does lend an understanding that was impossible at the time, so he is often able to analyze events and feelings with a detachment he could not achieve when he wore a uniform. The events are not chronological and appear quite random, though some people and events will be either recalled or foreshadowed at various times, but in that his presentation mirrors his experience as a patrol officer--he never knew how an assigned call would turn out, and one assignment had little impact on another.

For the most part, Fortier tells the stories of damaged people, injured by life, by others or by themselves, and he himself is not exempted. Even those who join the police for all the right reasons and try to follow a higher path find themselves changed by the job. Other officers are damaged goods to begin with, but are successful because they can play the system, use office politics to slither their way into positions of authority. We meet sergeants who seek headlines and medals, lieutenants who are control freaks, and a chief of police who feels it is better to toady up to the city council than to protect the public. We also meet officers who will weep when forced to shoot someone, or who will rush into a burning building to save people they never met and who probably hate them anyway. The villains of the book (the ones out of uniform) range from hallucinating tweakers to tattooed gang-bangers to murderers to shoplifting parolees who don't want to be arrested in front of their kids.

The writing in this book is not fine literature. There is a rawness about it that mirrors the subject matter, and a directness like a .357 aimed right between the eyes. The author does not try to soften the picture he reveals. He reveals villains and heroes (and some who are a bit of both) as flawed humans, complete with warts and all. In some true accounts of street policing, sometimes a reader is left wondering how much is real and how much is aggrandizing or glossing by the author; here, however, the raw, direct and often self-deprecatory prose leaves no room for doubt of the author's sincerity and brutal honesty.

Great, great book. Sometimes it made me laugh so hard I nearly cried; other times it was extremely shocking. I enjoyed getting an insight into police work and the things they are encountering every day. I can safely recommend it to all true-crime fans.
