Tinged Valor: An Expos Of The "real" Police

Presenting a microcosm of the police profession, Tinged Valor exposes the source of a perpetual trend of police misconduct and reveals, through personal knowledge or very privileged information, the seedy underbelly of law enforcement. The accounts contained in this manuscript depict the goings-on within the Metropolitan Police Department during the 1990s -- a decade in which the members experienced severe trials, performed snide trickery, celebrated brief triumphs, and endured great tragedies. Serving to introduce readers to the "real" police, Tinged Valor blends the author's shocking experiences (from police academy to actual patrol) with the layman's penchant for exposing a good mystery. All views are true and provide an accurate glimpse into the world of policing that few will ever admit to and even fewer are aware of. The names of significant persons and places have been changed to protect the innocent as well as the culpable.
