Wonderful, accurate book on the NYPD

This is the best and most accurate reference on the NYPD on the market today. Right now, I'm trying to write some short stories based on the characters from LAW & ORDER, and have found this book invaluable. Anything you need to know...from firearms to ethics to the Police Academy graduation ceremony..Well, it's in there. All of this was written is a style so enjoyable that I had trouble putting it down. I work in a Library, and I'd recommend this book to anyone: both as a reference and as a great read
