Download or read book Mob Cop written by Fred Pascente and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Former Chicago police officer and mafia associate Fred Pascente is the man who links Tony Spilotro, the protagonist of Nicholas Pileggi's Casino and one of Chicago's most notorious mob figures, to William Hanhardt, chief of detectives of the Chicago Police Department. Pascente and Spilotro grew up together on Chicago's near West Side, and as young toughs they were rousted and shaken down by Hanhardt. While Spilotro became the youngest made man in Chicago Outfit history, Pascente was drafted into the army and then joined the police department. Soon taken under Hanhardt's wing because of his connections, Pascente served as Hanhardt's fixer and bagman on the department for more than a decade. At the same time, Pascente remained close to Spilotro, making frequent trips to Las Vegas to party with his old friend while helping to rob the casinos blind. Mob Cop tells about the decline of traditional organized crime in the United States, and it reveals information about the inner workings of the Outfit that have never been publicly released. Fred Pascente's positions as an insider on both the criminal and law enforcement fronts makes this story a matchless tell-all.

For officers, students, policy makers and anyone who has an interest in the police force, this is a valuable roadmap for ethical policing.

Download or read book The Cop Critics written by Daniel Burke and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2023-01-16 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cop Critics By: Daniel Burke The Cop Critics is a fascinating book about the unjust criticism modern law enforcement officers are subjected to by celebrities, journalists, sports figures, university professors, social justice activists, and others who know little or nothing about law enforcement, the criminal justice system, or the law. The story contains many actual events and thought-provoking scenarios to support the author's propositions about the false narratives promoted about cops by the cop critics. As society decays, law enforcement efforts to protect law-abiding people are hampered by critics who portray cops unfairly and unrealistically, and who chronically interfere with law enforcement efforts to maintain societal peace. Burke believes what the critics say about cops is a false narrative critics use to promote their personal, social, and political ideologies to the detriment of civilized society.
