Police-Writers.com adds the 3 top police authors

September 5, 2006 (San Dimas, CA) Police-Writers.com, a website dedicated to police officers turned authors, has added its 100th police author, Frank Desario (Boston Police Department), Donovan Jacobs (San Diego Police Department) and Samuel Clark (San Diego Police Department).

Frank DeSario, in his book, “Badge #1 - Memoirs of a Boston Cop,” shares his almost forty year career in a vivid account of his experiences with the Boston Police Department. The Mafia, the gangland slayings, the Combat Zone, bussing and the resulting racial issues and riots, the thugs and the corruption are all discussed with a first hand look at the events. Frank also shares the glamorous side of his job which included escorting high profile celebrities, religious leaders and political leaders during their visits to the Boston area. The photos are vivid but give the reader a close look at what it was like to be a cop in Boston during the last four decades.

According to one reader, Michael j. Horne, Frank DeSario’s book is a”fantastic account from a first hand perspective of what it is like to patrol the streets during the past 4 decades. Frank DeSario is a local hero and all should have the pleasure of reading the memoirs of his illustrious career.”

Donovan Jacobs, a retired San Diego police officer takes the reader to the frontline on crime in San Diego in, “Street Cop: Innovative Tactics For Taking Back The Streets.” According to Jacobs’ book, “The patrol officer fighting crime on the battlefield of today's city streets must be relentless in the pursuit of criminals, maximizing his time on beat to focus on the source of pain and hurt in society - the career criminal, from the ex-con to the gang member to the junkie.” Jacobs, a police officer who has endured the worst of what the streets have to offer, goes beyond what is taught in the academy or in officer's training. Donovan Jacobs condenses years of experience and presents officers with innovative, proactive tactics for apprehending gangsters, auto thieves, junkies, convicts, fleeing suspects, and other criminals.

Samuel Clark was born and raised in Newark, New Jersey. He joined the Newark Police Department on November 20, 1972. During his 25 years with the police department, Clark has worked as a police officer in the patrol division, a detective assigned to the juvenile bureau and has variety of investigations ranging from harassment to homicide. He was promoted to the rank of sergeant in 1994 and to lieutenant in 1997.

Samuel Clark’s book, “Total Misconduct”, presents a detailed account of corruption and official misconduct within the Newark Police D. To some, the shocking events described in this book may appear to be exaggerated. Unfortunately, they are not. Clark worked with a handful of brave police officers to expose the existence of wide spread police corruption in the Newark Police Department. These officers presented documentary evidence of serious police corruption to local and state politicians, a county prosecutor, the State Attorney General, the U.S. Attorney General, and the FBI.

Clark’s book asks, “Why did elected officials and government law enforcement agencies ignore the evidence and the complaints of serious police corruption from over 26 credible and reliable police officers?” Samuel Clark presents facts, official police documents and report numbers, court transcript excerpts and case numbers, and newspaper accounts, enabling the reader to make his/her own conclusions.
