The journey begins in 1968 when the writer, Bob Wilson, was a rookie patrolman with the Baltimore City Police Department and Baltimore was recovering from riots and major civil unrest.As a rookie officer, he saw it all; murders, rapes, robberies, burglaries, and much more. Wilson made his share of arrests and received several commendations for outstanding police work. He worked the streets as an Officer, a Sergeant, and as a Lieutenant. He was also an award-winning Crime Prevention and Community Relations Commander.While not a "tell-all" book there are many first-hand, behind-the-scenes looks at some of the seldom-told stories that many Police Officers experience.The focus of the book is community-oriented police programs the writer was intimately involved with, in their formulation and delivery to the citizens of Baltimore. Wilson believes that citizen involvement is the key to crime prevention, and he discusses many of the programs developed by his Unit during his seventeen years working in the community.He and his wife of 57 years live in the Baltimore, Md, area and have two daughters, four grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.
