Code 4 Crucial

Near the end of the 1980's, a medium size town in Washington State is experiencing a crime wave, which is unparalleled. What makes it unique is that it is not the citizens whom are in jeopardy, but rather those who are sworn to protect them.

Someone with skill and serious motivations is depleting the police ranks in very creative and devious ways. Two detectives, who are for the most part diametrically opposed; are thrown into the fray. It's their job to try and solve the cases, considering all of the stumbling blocks that are placed in front of them. The detectives aren't overly smart or inept as portrayed in a lot of police forums. These two are slightly above average cops who do not necessarily triumph with talent, but they do excel with their efforts.

The story follows the trials and tribulations of their attempts to exact justice in a society that prohibits law enforcement from certain tactics other countries have at their disposal. Experts say, "To stop terrorists you need to use terrorist tactics." Likewise to deal with aggressive criminals you need to be able to use aggressive tactics.

These detectives are trying to do the best they can with what they are allowed. They are forced to step over the thin blue line at times, as duty bond to try and scale the blue wall that often confronts them. Some of the things they do discover are best kept confidential.

About the Author

I was born in Spokane Washington, in 1958 and graduated from North Central High in 1976. I attended the Spokane Community College and obtained an AA degree in police science. I graduated at 19 and within a week, I was working as a cadet for the Spokane County Sheriff's Office. At 21, I was hired as a deputy and worked there for five years.
I later went to work for Wenatchee PD. I worked there for six years then decided I needed another change. I transferred to the Kennewick PD and have been working there since.
Note: If you draw a line between the three departments, it forms a scalene triangle. It has been my personal Bermuda triangle, because a good career was lost somewhere inside.
I have spent my entire career working patrol and plan to continue to do so. In my opinion working the streets is what police work is all about. Patrol is the backbone of police work, but ironically it is often treated as a much lower part of the anatomy.
I was married to Andrea from 1987 to 2010. Unfortunately as in many police marriages we also ended in divorce. We have two children, a twenty-two year old boy named Dayne and a nine-teen year-old girl named Danyelle.
I started this project as a form of therapy. The story was inspired by some officers that needed it also. The time I spent working on it assisted me in dealing with some of the stresses associated with the job. Friends and family whom read it, then encouraged me to have it published. So if you felt it was a waste of time, please blame them.
