A former NYPD Police Commissioner tells the story of his career and experiences as a police professional in New York City, fighting crime effectively and earning the respect of cops and law enforcement officials everywhere; discussions include the problems he found within the NYPD and how he resolved them, the waves of crime which he greatly reduced through a variety of novel techniques and strategies - and who helped or hindered theses processes along the way. A very useful book for other police departments to study and politicians to learn from.
