  400 Things Cops Know

  Street-Smart Lessons from a Veteran Patrolman

  by Adam Plantinga

  400 Things Cops Know shows police work from the viewpoint of the regular cop on the beat—a profession that can range from rewarding to bizarre to terrifying in one eight-hour shift.

  Written by a veteran police sergeant, 400 Things Cops Know takes you into a cop’s life of danger, frustration, occasional triumph, and plenty of grindingly hard routine work.

  In a laconic, no-nonsense, dryly humorous style, San Francisco police sergeant Adam Plantinga tells what he’s learned from 13 years as a patrolman, from the everyday—like how to drive in a car chase without recklessly endangering the public—to the exotic—like what to do if you find a severed limb in the street.

  Part memoir, part practical advice and above all, a series of unvarnished truths about everyday life as a cop, 400 Things Cops Know puts the reader into the middle of the police experience. Sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes hilarious, this is an eye-opening revelation of life on the beat.

  “Essential for crime writers and anyone interested in the reality of police work.” —George Pelecanos
