Title: Chief My Life in LAPD
Review: This book certainly lived up to my expectations. It provided a great deal of Daryl Gates personal background, experiences and expectations of the position of being an L.A.P.D. cop.It is page turning reading for anyone wanting to read a down to earth biography, which contains fascinating glimpses into the inner and often hidden world of a Police Career.I especially wanted to read this as I lived in Los Angeles during some of the years when Daryl Gates was the Chief.It is interesting to compare his story alongside todays world of Bill Bratton (Zero Tolerance),style Policing and the current search for the new head of the London Met.It is almost impossible in either of the two worlds of London or L.A. to separate Politics and Policing.This book bridges both and kept me interested and engaged.
