One thing most people are not realizing as well is just how fucked up your brain has to already be to spend 2 hours carving through human flesh that used to be a person. Most people are not wired this way and when faced with the prospect of going to jail or using a bunch of power tools to cut up a dead body, most people just flat out can't do it.

No book will prepare you for law enforcement, it has to be touched, smelled, heard, and seen. If you're already a cop then the best thing you can do to be better is to be a well rounded human being and books can help with that.

Here's the recommended reading from some of the prior threads I was able to find in the sub.

  1. On Killing
  2. On Combat
  3. Emotional Survival for Law Enforcement
  4. Intro to Criminal Evidence
  5. Blue Blood
  6. 400 Things Cops Should Know
  7. Cop: A True Story
  8. [Verbal Judo] (https://www.amazon.com/Verbal-Judo-Gentle-Persuasion-Updated/dp/0062107704/)
  9. [What Cops Know] (https://www.amazon.com/What-Cops-Know-Connie-Fletcher/dp/0671750402/)
  10. [Into the Kill Zone] (https://www.amazon.com/Into-Kill-Zone-Deadly-Force/dp/0787986038/)
  11. Training at the Speed of Life
  12. Sharpening the Warrior's Edge
  13. The Gift of Fear
  14. Deadly Force Encounters
  15. The Book of Five Rings

    I've read a good portion of the above listed. I highly recommend Emotional Survival and going to see one of Gilmartin's talks if he's in your area. Below are a few of my personal suggestions.

  16. Meditations
  17. Blink - Not sure if I buy it, but interesting to think about.
  18. [Armor] (https://www.amazon.com/Armor-John-Steakley/dp/0886773687/)
  19. Iron John: A Book About Men
  20. The Dictator's Handbook: Why Bad Behavior is Almost Always Good Politics

What Cops Know - absolutely fucking fascinating. You will learn so much. If you're a LEO with 10 years on the job, I'll bet you will still learn a ton of stuff you didn't know.

Tales of the Stakeout Squad - If you don't know who Jim Cirillo is, you really need to.

No Second Place Winner - If you don't know who Bill Jordan is, you need to.

[TW] I read a great book that interviews police officers. One officer talked about a series of rapes that was going on. They captured one guy who had just mercilessly beaten his victim. They way he was caught is this other guy beat the shit out of the rapist. He ended up getting accolades from the community. A few weeks later, the same guy is arrested in the middle of raping a woman. The cops asked him why he stopped the other rapist when he was one himself. The guy replied "I would never hurt a woman"

It was either this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0671750402

Or this one: http://www.amazon.com/Cops-Their-Lives-Own-Words/dp/067149970X

They both profile cops in the eighties and the nature of the interviews and the time period results in lots of derogatory and inaccurate representations. Still, they're both really fun reads and I definitely suggest both to anyone who is interested in crime studies.

She may have known and be trying to cover it up. How horrific would it be to discover your own husband abusing your daughter? Say you were dependent on him to survive, a home, career, savings.... pfft, all gone if you call the cops. Then they take your child too.

I don;t really know one way or the other. Get a book, "What Cops Know". Read the part on sex crimes and children. Book opened my eyes , I'm reading it for the second time its so good.

> while others just smoke cigars to cover the smell.

This is actually something that is done by many homicide detectives and police officers in many cities. It's one of the reason many of those detectives smoke cigars or pipes (especially smelly ones). I read about in What Cops Know by Connie Fletcher, but I've seen it in other sources too. The dreaded "funny smell" call sometimes prompts them to stop by to get cigars on the way to the scene.
