October 15, 2006 (FPRC) -- Police-Writers.com, a website dedicated to police officers turned authors, added five NYPD writers: Richard “Bo” Dietl, William Caunitz, Joe DeCicco, Arthur Deutsch, Samuel Di Guiseppe and John Delamer.
“One Tough Cop: The Bo Dietl Story,” which has been made into a major motion picture, explores Richard “Bo” Dietl's 16 years in the New York Police Department. During his career he made more than 1,500 arrests and became one of the most highly decorated detectives in the history of NYPD. He received 80 awards and commendations for bravery alone. After retiring from the police department, he found an international security company, Beau Dietl Associates.
William Caunitz served in the New York Police Department for thirty years before retiring as detective lieutenant. William Caunitz wrote six best selling novels; the last was completed by his friend after his death in 1996.
Joe DeCicco is a lifelong New York resident who served twenty years with the New York Police Department at Manhattan South; the last several as a detective. He left the NYPD few years ago and continued the lifestyle, now as a private detective. In his crime novel, “Angel with a Gun,” “Not all cops are angels. But a few go bad, real bad. Mike Romano is just a beat police officer, but now he finds himself facing police corruption and worse. He joined the police department to stop a child molester from preying on his neighborhood, but to make the collar stick he has to follow procedure. Now he's about to find out that there is no set procedure for staying alive.”
Arthur Deutsch, a 23 year veteran of the New York Police Department published the crime novel “Starett.” A late 1970s publication, one bookseller quoted from the book, “His business was death. Both the cops and the mafia called him one of their own.”
Samuel Di Guiseppe, has written two books, “The Jupiter Project” and “The Gray Lions.” His publisher said of “The Gray Lions,” “What struck me most on reading the first few pages was the assurance with which Sam writes...His candid account of a fascinating career in the New York Police Department, and the corruption he uncovered in the course of his career, makes compelling reading. The story reads like a Coppola film script, full of intrigue and family personalities.”
In 1981, after 20 years on the job, John Delamer retired from NYPD as the commanding officer of the 106th Detective Squad, Ozone Park, Queens. In his crime novel, “Tarnished Shield,” “A detective sergeant in the New York Police Department becomes the target of false corruption charges when he refuses to play ball with a truly corrupt state prosecutor.”
Police-Writers.com hosts 167 police officers and their 461 books in six categories.
