The Police Officer Years
The second book of Jim Fitzgerald’s memoir-series picks up right where Book I left off. It is 1976, he’s now a sworn police officer in the Philadelphia suburb of Bensalem Township and is about to embark on his next life-journey. Experience the investigations, arrests, prosecutions, politics, and numerous bizarre people on both sides of the badge and gun. These include criminals, local politicians, and even fellow cops, sometimes all rolled into one. Join Jim as he progresses through the ranks from patrolman, to plainclothes officer, to detective, to detective sergeant and patrol sergeant on this non-stop ride through the ups and downs and triumphs and tragedies of his 11 years as a law enforcement officer in his, at the time, very dysfunctional police department.
