S. Wynecoop J: WHEN THE RADIO WENT
SILENT A Life on the Road Between Duty

WHEN THE RADIO WENT SILENT A Life on the Road Between Duty and Home

Two-time New York City police commissioner Ray Kelly opens up about his remarkable life, taking us inside fifty years of law enforcement leadership, offering chilling stories of terrorist plots after 9/11, and sharing his candid insights into the challenges and controversies cops face today. The son of a milkman and a Macy's dressing room checker, Ray Kelly grew up on New York City's Upper West Side, a middle-class neighborhood where Irish and Puerto Rican kids played stickball and tussled in the streets. He entered the police academy and served as a marine in Vietnam, living and fighting by the values that would carry him through a half century of leadership-justice, decisiveness, integrity, courage, and loyalty. Kelly soared through the NYPD ranks in decades marked by poverty, drugs, civil unrest, and a murder rate that, at its peak, spiked to over two thousand per year. Kelly came to be known as a tough leader, a fixer who could go into a troubled precinct and clean it up. That reputation catapulted him into his first stint as commissioner, under Mayor David Dinkins, where Kelly oversaw the police response to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and spearheaded programs that would help usher in the city's historic drop in crime. Eight years later, in the chaotic wake of the 9/11 attacks, newly elected mayor Michael Bloomberg tapped Kelly to be NYC's top cop once again. After a decade working with Interpol, serving as undersecretary of the Treasury for enforcement, overseeing U.S. Customs, and commanding an international police force in Haiti, Kelly understood that New York's security was synonymous with our national security. Believing that the city could not afford to rely solely on "the feds," he succeeded in transforming the NYPD from a traditional police department into a resource-rich counterterrorism-and-intelligence force. In this vital memoir, Kelly reveals the inside stories of his life in the hot seat of "the capital of the world"-from the terror plots that nearly brought a city to its knees to his dealings with politicians, including Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama as well as Mayors Rudolph Giuliani, Bloomberg, and Bill DeBlasio. He addresses criticisms and controversies like the so-called stop-question-and-frisk program and the rebuilding of the World Trade Center and offers his insights into the challenges that have recently consumed our nation's police forces, even as the need for vigilance remains as acute as ever.

Former New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly's "powerful" (Washington Post) and "proudly unapologetic" (Wall Street Journal) memoir about his life fighting crime and the dozens of sinister plots foiled by his anti-terrorist teams after 9/11.

My Life Serving America and Protecting Its Empire City

Vigilance

At the point of her retirement from the Metropolitan Police Service in 2019, Parm Sandhu was the most senior Asian woman in London's police force. She was also the only non-white female to have been promoted through the ranks from constable to chief superintendent in the Met's entire history. In this enthralling memoir, Parm chronicles her journey from life on the outskirts of Birmingham as the fourth child of immigrants from the Punjab to the upper echelons of the Met. Forced into an abusive arranged marriage aged just 16, Parm made the decision to escape to London with her newborn son and later joined the police as a constable. During her thirty-year career, Parm worked in everything from crime prevention to counter-terrorism, and she also served in the Met's police corruption unit. She played a senior organizing role in the London Olympics and was the superintendent on duty when Lee Rigby was beheaded in the street in Greenwich. However, Parm's time on the force was marked throughout with incidents of racial and gender discrimination, and, after deciding to make a stand, she found herself facing a spurious charge of gross misconduct. Black and Blue tells her shocking story and of her quest for justice in her police work and for herself. It is a story that cannot fail to inspire anyone who has experienced prejudice or abuse of any kind.

A controversial and inspirational true life story that details the appalling prejudice faced by the most senior BAME officer in the London Metropolitan police force.

Peter gives new details on some of the country's most harrowing murder cases (including that of serial killer Peter Tobin, the Nicola Payne case and the Helen McCourt murder), sheds new light on mysterious deaths (including MI6 worker Gareth Williams) and details the incredible lengths he goes to when helping investigators. Get ready to join Britain's most extraordinary forensic search expert on his journey through deadly booby-trapped tunnel systems, into dark waters that hold horrific secrets, through uninviting crime scenes and into the minds of killers.

The gripping and action-packed story of how Peter Faulding came to be Britain's leading forensic search and rescue expert.

My life as a forensic search and rescue expert

What Lies Beneath

Volume 1 established the experiment. This volume deals with what happened once it was underway.

Nearly two hundred rookie police officers. No veterans. No one to break us in.

In my first few months on the street, I checked boxes some officers never see in an entire career-rape, home invasion, robbery, shootings, stabbings, burglaries, blizzards, foot chases, and horse chases.

These are not textbook examples or stories polished by hindsight. They are the events as they happened, told by someone who did not know at the time why he saw the world differently.

Set against the backdrop of 1970s Philadelphia, Rookie Police Experiment Volume 2 continues the true story of the Philadelphia Police Department's unprecedented decision to replace an entire district's patrol officers with rookie officers fresh from the academy.

The result is a collection of stories that are sometimes dangerous, sometimes absurd, and occasionally hard to believe-but all true.

Step back into the 17th District.
