A veteran police officer gives his thoughtful, balanced views on police shootings, racial profiling, community relations, and every other aspect of policing--and he'll change what you think about the police. From the author of the acclaimed 400 Things Cops Know, Police Craft is a thought-provoking and revelatory examination of policing in America, as seen by a working police officer. Adam Plantinga, a 17-year veteran sergeant with the San Francisco Police Department, gives an inside view of the police officer's job, from handling evidence and conducting interrogations to coping with danger, violence, and death. Not hesitating to confront controversial issues, Plantinga presents the police officer's views on police shootings, racial profiling, and relationships between police and the community--and offers reasoned proposals on what the police and the public can do better. Hard-boiled, humorous, and compassionate, Plantinga wrestles with the complexities and contradictions of a job he loves in which he witnesses so much suffering. Transcending today's strident pro-cop/anti-cop rhetoric, Police Craft will give every reader a greater respect for the police and greater understanding of the job they do.

The content is inclusive and up-to-date but delivered though vapid stories. Peppy computer-generated cartoons are amateur." - The Horn Book Guide Free downloadable series teaching guide available.

The smiling android female on the saucer terminal's video screen said, "Would you like to be immortal? Would you like to be rich? Would you like to travel the galaxy? You can, you know. Go on-line, fill out Mincom's new EZ employment form, and become part of our management team. We will provide everything, including your own, custom-fitted android body." The smiling face was very convincing. Yeah, thought Max Mars, convincing. Be immortal. Get a new body and be guaranteed a trip to the most desolate planets in the universe, to mine heavy ice for four Earth years with just enough down-time to recharge your batteries. But Mars wasn't too concerned for the humans who fell for that old ploy. He had problems of his own. He was low on cash, so he had taken a job he normally would have turned down. Just travel to the Rim, to planet Kalos, and find a rich man's relatives. They had been missing-only seven years.
