Whew! Crazy, huh? What you are about to read next, if you're so bored that you choose to continue, is the collection of my
personally experienced personal police experiences. Non-fiction, and all true with no embellishments. With the exception of
maybe half a dozen anecdotes that belong to other officers, these are all mine, first hand, and I resisted the urge to include the
hundreds of other incredible and much better stories that I heard from other officers; what we have here is all limited to just
the events and adventures that I was personally involved in. Every other brother and sister officer of mine can share their own
stories in the ways they want, if they choose, and each and every one of them have lots and lots of incredible stories of their
own.

The total number of my stories that I've recorded here for posterity is somewhere around 700. This is not a complete collection;
for better or worse I’ve forgotten way more than I’ve managed to remember, and there are also many stories that I remember
too well but will remain forever unshared.

Again, I have to readily acknowledge that any cop with a comparable number of years, but in a bigger city, would have a ton
more interesting stories that I would not be able to match in any way. I also make no pretenses or claims that my stories are in
any way bigger or better or more special or unique than any other police officer’s stories; my collection here is what I consider
to be a pretty typical assortment and can't compare to what cops have to deal with in places like Baltimore or Chicago or Los
Angeles, or New York City etc. - I was just a patrol cop from a municipality that was small enough to be more accurately
described as a town. I never worked any homicide cases, I was never on a SWAT team, I never went undercover, or worked on
an explosive ordnance disposal team or dive team or air unit or gang unit or hostage negotiation or rescue unit or sniper team
and so if you're looking for super exciting stories, you might be disappointed here. It's okay, I know I was, frequently.

I apologize in advance for the deviant sentence structures of a lot of these recountings; standard rules of grammar have pretty
much been shot to shit and I yes, I’m well aware that I interchangeably mix and match present and past tenses with no apparent
rhyme or logical reason. Sometimes I made efforts to correct and mitigate but for the most part if you just go with the flow it
shouldn't bother you.
