I love Randy Sutton. I hope he continues writing these stories. Another review said this and it's my thoughts exactly - he makes you want to be there and have his back in certain situations. In others he makes you thank God you don't have to see what he sees day to day.
I love how reflective he is. The stories do cover a fairly broad range and you'll go from smiling to crying in minutes if you read straight through.
That brings me to another great thing about his books - you can read it right through in one or two sittings OR you can pick it up and put it down as you please and never feel lost. That's a great thing with a book IMO.
Sutton is a master at what he does and if I ever do get out of DE. and move to NV. I'll have to look him up just to shake his hand.

Sgt. Randy Sutton, was a Las Veges COP. Each chapter tells a real life tale about his time on the job, and you can see how each episode changed him. Its a fast and easy read, but I took my time, because I enjoyed the way Randy tells a story. When I finished the book, I hunted to see if he had written any other books for me to read, and found out he has gone on to talk on TV and radio ( and he deserves those accomplishments too), but he hasn't written anything else. What a shame I would recommended this book to teenagers as well as adults (16 and up) because it shows that Vegas, like all cities tests the POLICE to their limits.
