As you can see from my limited blogroll, I try to keep my recommendations to a minimum. My hope is that folks will actually visit and pay attention to the few that I recommend.
To that end, I strongly urge you all to check out www.truecopstories.com. It is quite a simple concept, it seems. They just put up stories by cops. That’s it. The site is not fancy, but I kinda like that. It is just cops telling what happened last night, last month, or last year on a memorable shift. Check it out and let me know what you think!

I have been reading more of these stories– some of them made me wince–
I am upset about K9′s considered as property- pet- I believe the author to the story said Texas– so if someone shoots at the dog, you can’t shoot back? these dogs have been trained to specialize in whatever areas they are trained for– so they deserve a different consideration and more protection– and I am sure you heard how an officer here this summer left his dog in the car all day long- and the dog died-
I am a dog person– as you probably figured out—

Susan…I agree. The site gets good visitors, too. The founder visits the Philosophical Cop often. She is having trouble getting cops to post their stories. Any ideas you have on getting that word out to cops would be great…

what you have started is great. i’m going to get something like your doing started really soon and hopefully i can talk another one of my friends to do the same thing. on the bright side its also good PR for the police in general. btw were the same age but i havent had the experience like you’ve had yet. i havent even started the academy yet.
