The law enforcement profession has been in the news quite a bit lately and I was reminded of an excellent book that I read several years ago.
"Signal Zero" by George Kirkham is the true story of a college professor (Kirkham) who actually became a police officer as part of a research project.
Criminology Professor Kirkham thought that he was fairly knowledgeable about police work until he is confronted by the brutal reality of the streets.
Signal Zero is somewhat dated since the events in the book occurred four decades ago, but it still gives a graphic and unflinching look at what police officers deal with everyday.
