October 8, 2006 (FPRC) -- Police-Writers.com, a website dedicated to police officers turned authors added three police officers turned authors: Debra Shinder, Bernard Kerik and Rosanna Filippello.
Debra Shinder, a former Police Officer with the Roanoke Police Department; and instructor at the North Central Texas Regional Police Academy and the Criminal Justice Training Center at Eastfield College, has written two books "Computer Networking Essentials" for Cisco Press and "Scene of the Cybercrime."
The NYPD 40th Police Commissioner, Bernard Kerik's, pens his personal story which is interesting and inspiring. As a young man, he is often in trouble and even quits school. Ultimately, he gains a sense of purpose in the military and embarks on a career in law enforcement that culminates in his becoming NYPD’s Police Commissioner. Bernard Kerik’s book takes the read from the sagging row houses of New Jersey to the cocaine fields of Colombia; from the razor wire of Rikers Island to the streets of New York City.
In “The Lost Son: A Life in Pursuit of Justice” Bernard Kerik details his life as a jail warden with a black belt in martial arts and a background in international security and anti-terrorism; taking a substantial pay cut to become a New York Police Department beat cop on the streets of Times Square. As a fearless narcotics detective, he went undercover to buy drugs in Harlem, seized millions of dollars of cocaine from the druglords of the Cali cartel, and was awarded the New York Police Department's Medal of Valor. As New York City's 40th Police Commissioner, Kerik directed the largest municipal police force in the world, and his battles continued. And yet Bernard Kerik's greatest battle was not pitched on tough city streets, but within himself. The greatest unsolved case of his life: the tragic mystery of his own mother, who abandoned her young son 41 years ago.
Rosanna Filippello was born and raised in Philadelphia and graduated from Cardinal Dougherty High School in 1986. She then attended Temple University for a time before joining the police department in 1993. Filippello works as a patrol officer in the "Fighting" Fourteenth District of the city. Of her five books, the Angelo Mystery Series is likely the most interesting. In the third of the series, “Angel of Death,” A known pedophile is found murdered and mutilated in North Philadelphia. Angelo, Philadelphia’s top Homicide detective (and the series namesake) is assigned the case. Soon the body count starts piling up and the only common link is the fact that the victims were ritualistically killed ex-convicts.
Police-Writers.com hosts 146 police officers (representing over 70 police departments) and their 425 books in six categories.
