Book excerpt: Did you know that NYPD stands for New York Police Department? Of course you did! But did you know that there was once a legendary detective named El Diablo whose out-of-control lifestyle included stealing a horse and carriage for a wild ride through Central Park? Or the rookie cop whose unusual talent of farting on demand disrupted the police academy? How about the handcuffed Houdini crackhead who escaped from the back seat of a police car? The New York City Police Department is the largest police agency in the United States, with over 35,000 members. A police force that large is going to have more than a few colorful characters and unbelievable stories. Retired NYPD Detective Vic Ferrari takes you behind the scenes as he peels back the onion, revealing the good, the bad, and the ugly of the New York City Police Department. The NYPD's Flying Circus picks up where NYPD: Through the Looking Glass left off in this controversial tell-all sequel. The NYPD's Flying Circus is an introspective, behind-the-scenes look into the New York City Police Department. Cops, crime and chaos are sarcastically woven together through the eyes of a retired NYPD detective, exposing the funnier side of the NYPD-a fascinating history lesson wrapped in personal anecdotes covering a twenty-year law enforcement career. If you enjoy Live PD, are fascinated with police work, or ever wondered what it was like to be a member of the NYPD, you've picked up the right book.

Book excerpt: You might be surprised to learn crime does pay, especially auto theft. During the 1990s, New York City was averaging over a hundred thousand vehicle thefts a year. New Yorkers accepted their fate, frequently finding empty parking spaces where their vehicles were parked the night before. Victims called the police, who took theft reports without offering much hope they would ever see their car again. The NYPD's Auto Crime Division is a hundred and twenty-member unit created to combat auto theft, stopping those who roam the streets at night looking to steal your vehicle. Most Americans have been the victim of some form of auto crime or know someone who has been. What they don't know is why, how, or who stole their vehicle, or what happens to it after it disappears. Grand Theft Auto peels back the curtain, exposing the nuts and bolts of the auto theft industry.Would you believe a pair of nuns stole Mother Superior's car to go on a wild shopping spree in the Bronx? Or the double-dealing confidential informant who helped recover Mike Tyson's stolen motorcycle minutes before it was shipped out of the country? What about the diplomat's husband who drove around Manhattan in a stolen Mercedes? Or the silver-tongued three-hundred-pound car thief who managed to stay one step ahead of the law? Retired detective Vic Ferrari shares his unique insight and colorful stories from his days assigned to the New York City Police Department's Auto Crime Division. If you enjoy Live PD, are fascinated with police work, or want to know who stole your car, you've picked up the right book. Vic Ferrari, author of NYPD: Through the Looking Glass: Stories From Inside America's Largest Police Department and The NYPD's Flying Circus: Cops, Crime & Chaos, and Dickheads & Debauchery and Other Ingenious Ways to Die is a retired New York City Police Department detective with over twenty years of experience in the auto theft industry.

Book excerpt: Whoever said, "There are eight million stories in the naked city," was never a New York City police officer. For America's largest city, eight million stories is a drop in the bucket. To maintain law and order in a city that never sleeps, you'll need a highly trained police department. Creative criminals, backstabbing bosses, and a turnstile criminal justice system are just a few of the many obstacles NYPD members face on a daily basis. Fat bastards, faux titles, and a mysterious case of diarrhea-no two days were ever the same throughout my NYPD career. Did you know that hanging your gun belt on the back of a bathroom stall could result in a deadly game of tug-of-war? Would you believe a kiss-ass cop sent to get a chief's lunch was thrown out of a deli after trying to cut through a line of hungry customers? What about the cranky robbery suspect who was pummeled in a police lineup by his fellow fillers? Or the overzealous flatfoot who was punched in the nose by a startled dog owner after leaping out of the woods to issue her a summons for failing to pick up after her dog? Retired NYPD Detective Vic Ferrari provides a hilarious behind-the-scenes look at the New York City Police Department, complete with colorful characters and almost unbelievable stories. If you enjoy true crime, Live PD, or are curious about how the NYPD works, you've come to the right place.

Book excerpt: When Bill Bratton was sworn in as New York City's police commissioner in 1994, he made what many considered a bold promise: The NYPD would fight crime in every borough...and win. It seemed foolhardy; even everybody knows you can't win the war on crime. But Bratton delivered. In an extraordinary twenty-seven months, serious crime in New York City went down by 33 percent, the murder rate was cut in half--and Bill Bratton was heralded as the most charismatic and respected law enforcement official in America.. In this outspoken account of his news-making career, Bratton reveals how his cutting-edge policing strategies brought about the historic reduction in crime. Bratton's success made national news and landed him on the cover of Time. It also landed him in political hot water. Bratton earned such positive press that before he'd completed his first week on the job, the administration of New York's media-hungry mayor Rudolph Giuliani, threatened to fire him. Bratton gives a vivid, behind-the-scenes look at the sizzle and substance, and he pulls no punches describing the personalities who really run the city. Bratton grew up in a working-class Boston neighborhood, always dreaming of being a cop. As a young officer under Robert di Grazia, Boston's progressive police commissioner, he got a ground-level view of real police reform and also saw what happens when an outspoken, dynamic, reform-minded police commissioner starts to outshine an ambitious mayor. He was soon in the forefront of the community policing movement and a rising star in the profession. Bratton had turned around four major police departments when he accepted the number one police job in America. When Bratton arrived at the NYPD, New York's Finest were almost hiding; they had given up on preventing crime and were trying only to respond to it. Narcotics, Vice, Auto Theft, and the Gun Squads all worked banker's hours while the competition--the bad guys--worked around the clock. Bratton changed that. He brought talent to the top and instilled pride in the force; he listened to the people in the neighborhoods and to the cops on the street. Bratton and his "dream team" created Compstat, a combination of computer statistics analysis and an unwavering demand for accountability. Cops were called on the carpet, and crime began to drop. With Bratton on the job, New York City was turned around. Today, New York's plummeting crime rate and improved quality of life remain a national success story. Bratton is directly responsible, and his strategies are being studied and implemented by police forces across the country and around the world. In Turnaround, Bratton shows how the war on crime can be won once and for all.
