The critically acclaimed memoirs of one female police
officer's sixteen-year odyssey, beginning with day one at
the Police Academy and spanning assignments on Chicago's
West Side, one of the most dangerous areas in the city.The
notorious cops' code of silence is broken as the author
recounts incidents in the West Side projects: shoot-outs,
ambushes, and what it feels like to kill a man-just four
days out of the Academy.The stories told are sometimes
tragic, sometimes funny, often poignant, and always provide
the reader with an on the scene feel for life behind the
badge. Domestic violence, murdered spouses, abused children,
and philandering CPD brass are just some of the topics
addressed, topics that officer Gallo dealt with
everyday.From her work with gangs, narcotics, the gun task
force, and acting as a prostitute, Gina Gallo offers a
gritty account of the darker side of the city, giving
readers an objective side to the cops, crooks, and victims
that comprise a the police cops world.
