Humorous Beat: Actual Funny Police Stories

Dedicated to brother police officers - The brick pounders, the scout crews and detectives, who under personal peril make up the thin blue line between chaos and civilization.

Preface:

Police work is ongoing stress. It includes tense association with people who commit theft, murder and mayhem. It also includes the human duties of telling someone their loved ones have been maimed, killed, or arrested. Punctuating this bitterness are those precious humorous moments which make the job acceptable and keep an officer's sanity.

This book is a compilation of humorous situations which helped me cope. I believe one should judge his life on how many times he laughs. I hope my book, will make you laugh ... and help you cope..
