Book excerpt: Arizona's location on the international border to Mexico gave it the dubious distinction of being the #1 drug import capital of the United States in the 1970's. In an effort to eradicate the flow of illicit drugs into the country, along with the crimes and violence accompanying them, a hand- picked group culled from various statewide law enforcement agencies were brought together to form an elite narcotics Strike Force that was the first of its kind in the nation.The Strike Force had one major mandate: to identify, arrest and stop those involved in the importation, distribution and sales of illicit drugs throughout the deserts, mountains, cities and towns of southern Arizona. Tucson Police Officer Neil Tietjen. a native New Yorker and Marine Corps veteran who had served in the Viet Nam War, was one of the initial agents chosen for the assignment to the new interagency Strike Force.A memoir culled from Neil Tietjen's own police reports and personal journals, "Old School Narc" chronicles in often pulse-pounding, heart-wrenching detail how he and his fellow Strike Force agents pioneered undercover drug investigations across a vast and inhospitable urban and wilderness landscape. In that pre-internet, pre-cellphone and pre-law enforcement technology era, Strike Force agents investigated and pursued their prey, 'Old School'; succeeding in their missions and staying alive with little more than their wits, badges, guns and massive amounts of tenacity and courage."Old School Narc" provides an insider's view of what it was like to live and work behind the badge; undercover and in disguise while leading parallel lives among heinous drug traffickers whom violence and death were simply the tools of their trade. Along with his fellow agents, Neil Tietjen went above and beyond the call of duty to make the streets of his country safer, without sacrificing his humility, compassion or sense of humor in the progress.

Download or read book The Narcotic Farm written by Nancy D. Campbell and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-03-16 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Narcotic Farm opened in 1935 in the rolling hills of Kentucky horse country. Portrayed in the press as everything from a "New Deal for the drug addict" to a "million-dollar flophouse for junkies," the sprawling art deco facility was equal parts federal prison, treatment center, working farm, and research laboratory. Its mission was to rehabilitate addicts, who were increasingly criminalized and incarcerated as a result of strict new drug laws, and to discover a cure for opiate addiction. This richly illustrated book offers an important history of this progressive yet ultimately doomed experiment. "Narco," as the locals called it, pioneered new treatments such as prescribing methadone to manage heroin withdrawal and developed drugs that blocked the action of opiates. The coed institution admitted federal prisoners as well as volunteers who checked themselves in for treatment, and through the years it hosted several legendary jazz musicians, including Chet Baker and Sonny Rollins, as well as actor Peter Lorre and writer William S. Burroughs. The facility ultimately closed in 1975 under a cloud as Congress learned that Narco researchers had recruited patients as test subjects for CIA-funded LSD experiments from 1953 to 1962, part of the notorious project MK-Ultra. Featuring a new foreword by Sam Quinones, The Narcotic Farm offers a vital perspective on US drug policy, addiction, and incarceration as the nation struggles with a new opioid epidemic.

Book excerpt: SYNOPSIS: John Doyle, a university student from the small Southern Ontario town of Kindler, one day received a letter from the government asking him to attend an exclusive meeting that would change his life forever. It leads him and his best friend, Frank to become involved in the local drug scene as they are asked to work undercover by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. This takes John into a world before unknown to him, the world of drugs, violence and murder. The late 1960s, the time when this story takes place, are years in which turn on and tune out is the motto. John and his friends are trying to counteract this culture by developing a teen group that plans, finances and builds its own drop-in centre. The ideals of a Christian raised young man clash with the ideals of a fringe element in the town. During his investigations John helps the Mounties discover and take down the largest drug ring in Ontario. This comes with a cost. In this book the small town mentality is examined as well as the impact of the drug culture which transforms the community. John finally has to reveal his undercover work to the love of his life, Susan, and involve his own father to help capture the drug dealers who feed on the weaknesses of the young people of the town.

Book excerpt: “In a raw and unflinching account that details his harrowing journey as whistleblower in the Fast and Furious federal scandal, Forcelli shows the public and personal cost of standing up for justice.” —Jonathan Green, author of Sex Money Murder: A Story of Crack, Blood, and Betrayal Pete Forcelli was a highly respected federal agent in New York City, where he made an impact on violent crime by successfully targeting some of the city’s most violent street gangs by using federal racketeering and continuing criminal enterprise statutes in conjunction with federal prosecutors. In early 2007, he was promoted to a supervisory position in Phoenix and quickly discovered that federal prosecutors were not charging criminals for violating federal firearms laws, even in instances where they knew guns were being trafficked to ultra-violent drug cartels and then used in crimes that were shocking to the conscience. When those very same prosecutors spoke about possibly indicting John Dodson, a special agent who blew the whistle on Operation Fast and Furious, Forcelli stepped forward and contacted Congress. Forcelli became a whistleblower himself, detailing how federal prosecutors in Arizona not only failed to prosecute gun traffickers, but allowed a man who was making hundreds of hand grenades for the Sinaloa Cartel to continue his operations unabated for years. At that moment, those prosecutors and officials from the Department of Justice came after him, leading to a nearly four-year battle for Forcelli to clear his name. This book provides his insider’s account of the scandal that stands as one of the worst stains on federal law enforcement.

Book excerpt: A Narc's Tale is a 4 book series that is a first-hand account of stories, written like a memoir or personal diary, which gives you an inside glimpse of what it is like working 6 years deep undercover in the dangerous drug world as a city cop (Vol. 1), county vice & narcotics investigator (Vol. 2 & 3), and Special Agent with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (Vol. 4). Most undercover books only show this from one perspective, but you will get all three here (i.e. city, county & federal) and realize the difference in each. This book series will tell you about incidents that almost cost me my career in law enforcement before it began, what led me to focus in drug enforcement and how I blended in and dealt with dangerous and, often, violent criminals in an array of different environments working undercover. You will also learn about the emotional and mental effects of long-term undercover work on me and my family, as well as learn about the dangerous effects of drugs. I will show you how an undercover agent avoids using drugs, literally being shoved in their face, escaping having guns pointed at them, posing as a hit man, infiltrating gangs, acting like a drug addict, avoiding plots to be killed, all while protecting loved ones, and dealing with some of the most dangerous drug cartels in the world. Not only does this book series expose secrets of the rare undercover world, but it provides an inside look at the ruthlessness of drug traffickers along with an array of other crimes that I unexpectedly got involved with during my investigations (i.e. human trafficking, sex slaves, murder for hire, corrupt officials/politicians, killing witnesses, etc.). The extensive efforts taken to authenticate and corroborate these real-life stories, through supporting documentation found in each book (i.e. over 340 still images from covert body cameras & surveillance platforms, other photographs, scanned documents and newspaper articles within the series), is what separates this series of books from others in the genre. After explaining my upbringing and life-changing experiences that made me want to become a cop, which is covered in Volume 1; I am thrust into a full-time undercover assignment unexpectedly as a city cop with zero undercover training. You will read how I learned about drugs, dealers, and undercover work by trial and error. After a year undercover and successfully taking out over one-hundred-thirty drug dealers, I was recruited to go work for a large Sheriff's Office in the Vice & Narcotics Unit. Once in this unit, which is the start of Volume 2 in this series, I learn so much more and have a much larger jurisdiction in which to work. I finally get the proper training and my cases began to grow over the course of the next two books, Volumes 2 & 3, to the point of making multi-kilogram purchases of drugs, posing as a hit man in a murder for hire, buying automatic weapons, etc. I start doing undercover work for the state and feds in books 2 and 3 and run into police corruption issues. This is around the time I get married and started a family, all while being neck-deep in undercover work and the accompanying stresses. You will learn the mental effects this line of work takes on a spouse and how we overcame those things. After 4 years into my undercover career, I was hired on with the feds as a Special Agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Volume 4 covers my experiences of going through the federal hiring and training processes before I launch my undercover experience at the federal level. With the feds I worked undercover on an unprecedented scale dealing with multi-billion-dollar international drug cartels. The violence, death, and unsurmountable quantities of drugs and money were nothing like I had seen as a local police officer. The investigations and organizations got much more complex, so I had to tighten up my undercover skills and technology usage to become more innovative (i.e. federal wiretaps).

Book excerpt: "Quite simply, one of those books that will make this world - our world, our daily chemical-preservative, plastic-wrapped bread - a little more tolerable, a little more human." - Frank McConnell, Los Angeles Times Book Review “Later than usual one summer morning in 1984 . . .” On California’s fog-hung North Coast, the enchanted redwood groves of Vineland County harbor a wild assortment of sixties survivors and refugees from the “Nixonian Reaction,” still struggling with the consequences of their past lives. Aging hippie freak Zoyd Wheeler is revving up for his annual act of televised insanity when news reaches that his old nemesis, sinister federal agent Brock Vond, has come storming into Vineland at the head of a heavily armed Justice Department strike force. Zoyd instantly disappears underground, but not before dispatching his teenage daughter Prairie on a dark odyssey into her secret, unspeakable past. . . . Freely combining disparate elements from American popular culture—spy thrillers, ninja potboilers, TV soap operas, sci-fi fantasies—Vineland emerges as what Salman Rushdie has called in The New York Times Book Review “that rarest of birds: a major political novel about what America has been doing to itself, to its children, all these many years.”
