I worked with the author in the Narcotics Section of the Chicago Police Department. Please do not let the author's perception of the truth sway your opinion about the Chicago Police Department and the men and women who serve proudly. The author claims that the Narcotics Section and its policies were a leading contributor to his decline. I think not. He thrived on these practices and used them to his advantage. All we saw was a selfish and immature young man who thought of himself first. If the author thinks that only the Commander of the Narcotics Section was disgusted with his drug usage and failing his urinalysis, he is dead wrong. We all were. If you read this book, please do not indict all of us because of one person's jaded stories.
