The intent of this book is to amplify the variety of incidents to which police officers are dispatched and their encounters with tragedy, crime, and abuse. The focus is on the daily shift life and the human emotions of officers and citizens involved in significant and symptomatic events. Stories of the Street: Images of the Human Condition illuminate a normal police patrol shift that captures and personifies the realities of the street.

The book is intended to provide police families and the community with a broader insight and understanding into an average day for patrol officers serving their communities with honor, courage, and integrity. Having a resource that gives family members an insight into a day’s work of their loved one will undoubtedly help in understanding the stressors that “their officer” encounters daily.

The true-life stories demonstrate the real emotion officers and citizens feel when they encounter tragedy, crime and abuse. They capture and personify the heart wrenching realities of the street providing insights into an average day of service filled with honor, courage and integrity.
