Understand Police Officers and Staying Out of Trouble by G.E. Morrison Paperback: 172 pages ISBN-10: 1591297427 ISBN-13: 978-1591297420
Reading this book takes the reader up close and personal with understanding the police officer and why it is worth the extra effort to avoid trouble. The author brings this understanding to the reader through facts, discussions, and personal examples from his eleven-year police officer experience. Open the book and read why learning to understand the police officer is much better than fearing and fighting him. The author explains this through strong facts and analogies such as, “having more common sense than to light a match while pumping gas into your vehicle.” This book also serves as a reminder to the reader that learning to stay out of trouble should be a personal goal just like any other worthwhile adventure. Reading it will definitely move your emotions and decision-making process to a safer level when it comes to the police and trouble period. This book is like reading a powerful story with a message that shouldn’t be missed by anyone who really cares about his or her own safety and welfare.
Independent Reviews:
(1) This book is great for anyone with a teenager that's just starting to drive and be out on their own. Using third-party stories to get his point across, Mr. Morrison cuts to the chase gently yet firmly. You're never too old to learn a lesson or two and I highly recommend that everyone read this book and use it as a tool for everyday life.
(2) Mr. Morrison's book should be a required study for every American child who is eleven or twelve years old, right at that crucial time when children are looking for self-empowerment outside of their families. Perhaps the images in this book would make them avoid the druggie street corners and police problems. Using his experience, common sense, and just plain street-wisdom, Mr. Morrison presents the negative dynamics of the city streets, and the police, in a way that may be easily understood. This is a must read for every parent and teacher.
(3) About time for someone to shed a new light on one of the worst problems facing everyone. This book will really make one think about how important it is to try and stay out of trouble. It will also give a better understanding of why police officers function the way they do. It is written in a very easy to understand format, which can be easily understood by everyone. I feel that the author did a great job in trying to bridge the gap between the public and the law enforcement community. Any understanding is better than fear and stupidty. Everyone should read this book.
There are many, adults as well as kids, who would benefit from the insights revealed by this book. The author, Grady, spent 11+ years in uniform on the mean streets of East Baltimore. He knows why many police officers seem stand-offish around civilians. Grady can tell you about being shot during a routine traffic stop. He has picked up the pieces of too many kids who hung out with the street-corner druggies. He has seen it all, and it's all in his book. As far as I know, this book is one of a kind.
