CUMMING, Ga., Nov. 21, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Few professionals have as many interesting stories to tell as street cops. In his new book, Searching for Evil...and the Perfect Donut (now available through 1stBooks), author and veteran police officer Richard A. Nable presents a series of short stories describing his experiences in law enforcement.
From foot chases to police codes, Nable's stories are a delightful mixture of candid familiarity, humor, witty intelligence and compassion. With a dash of irreverent sarcasm and classic cynicism, his stories are an entertaining journey into the mundane, funny, bizarre and heartbreaking scenarios that American cops deal with on a daily basis.
Nable tells of criminals' odd decisions, strange circumstances surrounding deaths and injuries and routines of the typical street cop. Told with brutal honesty and wit, the book gives both officers and civilians a peek out from the front seat of the police cruiser. Readers experience riveting true stories about the triumphs and tragedies that a real urban cop deals with as he searches for evil.
Nable works for a metropolitan police department in the southeastern United States. He engages in nightly patrols and trains officers in a variety of skills, including search and seizure, officer survival tactics and courtroom testimony. He is a certified firearms instructor, is SWAT team certified and is a nationally certified driving instructor. He also teaches basic defensive driving and high speed pursuit driving.
