This was written by a real police officer who lived on Long Island. He handled problems in an unusual and sometimes bizarre fashion. Everything he has written is true and happened as he described. During his employment between 1961 and 1981 in many ways it was like the old west at the end of the century. This was when a police officer pretty much had a free hand when doing his job as long as he did it without hurting anyone. This was a fun book to read. Mr. Kaiser has passed now and one of his children passed his book on to me to read. I liked the book a lot. Now I'm ready to share with others who are interested in the 60's era of police procedure.
