Experience firsthand policing in America's Playground. This book contains stories that are based on my thirty-year career with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Despite all my "peaks and valleys," I never lost my love of policing, or passion for the people I served. While many of my experiences are amusing, they also are enlightening for people considering a career in law enforcement. My most important lesson learned is that decisions must be based on ethical soundness, as opposed to other motivations. The challenges facing American police officers have never been greater. Besides the dangers from criminals, they also need to navigate through administrations that are often more concerned about tomorrow's headline, than providing true leadership. As opposed to considering ethical soundness, agencies are often most concerned with only the politically popular path. My prayer is for police agencies to work in partnership with the citizens they serve in making our neighborhoods a safer place. For this to be achieved "Integrity-Based Policing" must become the new standard for all agencies to adopt.

From the 1970s through the mid-1980s, the Chicago Outfit dominated organized crime in Las Vegas. To ensure the smooth flow of cash, the gangsters installed a front man with no criminal background, Allen R. Glick, as the casino owner of record, Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal as the real boss of casino operations, and Tony Spilotro as the ultimate enforcer, who’d do whatever it took to protect their interests. It wasn’t long before Spilotro, also in charge of Vegas street crime, was known as the “King of the Strip.” Federal and local law enforcement, recognizing the need to rid the casinos of the mob and shut down Spilotro’s rackets, declared war on organized crime. The Battle for Las Vegas relates the story of the fight between the tough guys on both sides, told in large part by the agents and detectives who knew they had to win.

PREVIEW THE CALL The big clock in the hall showed that is was 1:59 p.m. as I opened the door. Damn, Im good, I thought, always on time. What the hell happened to you, Officer Randel? asked Undersheriff Collins. Oh, just a little car-jacking on the way over; the SOB shot my partner in the chest. Looking at my uniform, I observed that I was muddy and wet past my knees, my bloody shirt was ripped at the shoulder and at the elbow on my left arm, and I definitely was not squared away. Sheriff Morgan queried, Did you kill the bastard? Frank-3 Enroute! Rookie Gilmore was trying to hold off Miss La Fleur, whom he was arresting for prostitution when Lt. (Benedict) Arnold criticized him for his behavior. Arnold stated, Ill escort her to jail personally. I commented, Arnold thinks Miss La Fleurs one hot dancin mama; even put her in the front seat. Ive seen that look in his eyes before. Hes in for a big surprise. Ha, ha, ha! I asked, Where the hell is Willy? About that time, I heard, Can I get some help in here, ple.a.se? Officer Roscoe, who was cuffing Kat, jumped from the pile and ran to the bathroom. Willy, with his gun pointed toward a whore, had her backed up and standing in the bathtub. In her hand was an ice pick. Willy was trying to cajole her into dropping it. The whore touted, I aint goin back to jail, pigs! By the way Officer Randel, said Gramms, one of the street people, that anti-freeze (wink-wink) that you gave us sure kept us warm when it rained. Thanks! Its strange how the streets have a beat and a life of their own. I visited Jasper Boy Murdock at Indian Springs Penitentiary. I could give you information about whos killing all those women if you could get me off on good behavior, coerced Jasper. Cant do that, Boy! Control, Frank-3 Enroute to UMC with a young, blond female who needs immediate attention. I have Sister Roscoe with me. My mileage is 10142.1. Cheri answered, Father Randel? Did you say Sister Roscoe? Thats affirmative. Switch to five I thought, we need to clean up the drug dealers along with the prostitutes. Ive got to call the captain. DONT MISS THE CALL!

After September 11, 2001 Las Vegas Police Sergeant Randy Sutton began soliciting writing from law enforcement officers-his goal being to bridge the gap between the police and those they serve, with a book that offers a broad and thoughtful look at the many facets of police life. Hundreds of active and former officers responded from all over the United States: men and women from big cities and small towns, some who had written professionally, but most for the first time. Sutton culled the selections into five categories: The Beat, Line of Duty, War Stories, Officer Down, and Ground Zero. The result is True Blue, a collection of funny, charming, exciting, haunting stories about murder investigations, missing children, bungling burglars, car chases, lonely and desperate shut-ins, routine traffic stops, officers killed in the line of duty, and the life-changing events of September 11. Here, officers reveal their emotions-fear and pride, joy and disgust, shame and love-as they recount the defining moments of their careers. In these stories, the heart and soul behind the badge shines through in unexpected ways. True Blue will change the way we think about the deeply human realm of police service.
