Download Blue on Blue: An Insider's Story of Good Cops Catching Bad Cops AudioBook Free
Probably one of the most authentic and regularly illuminating portraits of law enforcement work ever, Blue on Blue describes the fascinating internal workings of the world's greatest police force and Key Charles Campisi's unprecedented two decades putting bad cops behind bars. From 1996 through 2014, Charles Campisi going NYPD's Internal Affairs Bureau, working under four law enforcement commissioners and getting a reputation as hard-nosed and incorruptible. When he retired, only 1 man on the 36,000-member power had served longer. During Campisi's IAB tenure, the amount of New Yorkers shot, wounded, or wiped out by cops annually dropped by 90 percent, and the amount of cops faltering integrity exams shrank to an evenly startling low. But to accomplish those exemplary results, Campisi had to triple IAB's personnel, hire the most effective detectives, and put the term out that bad apples wouldn't be tolerated. While the early on minutes of Campisi's absorbing profile bring us into the real world of cops, showing, for example, the agony that every cop suffers when he fires his firearm, later chapters spotlight a harrowing group of investigations that examined IAB's capacities, forcing detectives to visit undercover against cops who had been themselves undercover, to look for bad guys posing as cops, also to break through the "blue wall of silence" to confirm exceptional - but sometimes very real - cases of law enforcement brutality. Told within an edge-of-the-seat way with a given birth to storyteller, Blue on Blue sets us in the picture, allowing us to listen in on wiretaps and feel the adrenaline rush of pulling in the net. It also unveils new threats to the power, like the possibility of infiltration by terrorists. Finally, the reserve inspires awe for the man who, for almost two decades, was entrusted with the job of earning sure what "New York's Finest" never rang hollow. A revelatory profile, Blue on Blue will forever change how you view law enforcement work.
