Publisher Description:
I've had an exciting life, I think-shootings and cuttings and high speed chases-far too many wives and way too little money. Yes, life was exciting when I was a randy young policeman working the mean streets of Denver . . . every day was an adventure

Legends in our own minds, each of us share a similar family history . . . people with parents who loved us and taught us the difference between right and wrong, and just like our spouses, feared for our safety every day we walked in harm's way. Not really the Superman little kids see us as or the Stormtroopers far too many people choose to believe we are, but ordinary people just trying to do the right thing.

So, this is my story. Told from a police officer's cynical yet humorous point of view, it's a warm and loving family history, rich with snippets of family lore and detailed memories that began well before the blood and gore of the police world, and continuing into the safety and comfort of my retirement years. It's proof that you don't have to be shot in order to have a story worth telling.

One of the most entertaining autobiography's ever written - get ready to laugh and be totally engaged through to the end of the book

I read it in about three days involving two late nights and found it highly pleasurable from beginning to end.

I enjoyed Bill's book from start to finish After only one chapter, I was hooked on his writing style.
