CopBook ReviewI was surprised by the style and elegance of writing in this book. The insights into cop life and human nature are impressive, which on occasion reminded me of the literary masters of psychological observation--Tolstoy and Hemingway.Never having had cop friends nor cop relatives, my unconscious impression of a cop's life, gathered from TV's CSI and "Die Hard"-like movies, alternated between bleak and thankless to risky and heroic. Newspaper accounts, like that of the recent dust-up between Harvard Prof. Gates and Cambridge officer Crowley, don't help paint an accurate picture of cop life either, often totally ignoring the cop's perspective in all of it and the toll it takes on a cop to be in the middle of dangerous situations day in and day out.
Instead of treating cops like human beings who happen to be wearing a uniform, journalists usually treat them as unthinking instruments of systemic oppression, fixating on hot-button topics such as racism and injustice to the masses. The human element is often lost.
Greelis's book rectifies this situation by bringing the human element to the fore. He gives those of us who live far away from a cop beat an up-close and personal view of the fun and foibles of a cop's existence. Like a dear friend, who happens to be a crimefighter, he takes the reader on a tour of the actions, crimes, coverups, and behaviors observable in the cop world. But he doesn't stop there, he goes further to ask, like a thinker and philosopher, "What does all this mean?" His answers to that range from the humorous to the absurd to the tragic. You can't but feel for cops after reading this book. A great achievement. A good read.
Congratulations Mr. Greelis! I highly recommend this book.CopBook OverviewWhether encouraging his cowering K-9 to reengage during a crime in progress or interviewing an unrepentant shoe molester, veteran cop Richard Greelis gives the reader a personal view of law enforcement that is sometimes hilarious and at other times painfully tragic. CopBook takes the reader on this fascinating ride-along for a taste of the human experience police are called to mitigate. Greelis draws on his career as a street cop, a SWAT team operator, a detective in both the Violent Crimes and Sex Crimes Units, a member of the FBI's Terrorism Unit, and an undercover intel investigator for the 2008 Republican National Convention. Greelis reveals the true heart of a cop, beating wildly at times, but always insulated within layers of blue.
