À propos de cet audio
How does it feel to be in a high-speed car chase? What is it like to shoot someone? What do cops really think about the citizens they serve? Nearly everyone has wondered what it's like to be a police officer, but no civilian really understands what happens on the job.
400 Things Cops Know shows police work on the inside, from the viewpoint of the regular cop on the beat - a profession that can range from rewarding to bizarre to terrifying, all within the course of an eight-hour shift. Written by veteran police sergeant Adam Plantinga, 400 Things Cops Know brings the listener into life the way cops experience it - a life of danger, frustration, occasional triumph, and plenty of grindingly hard routine work. In a laconic, no-nonsense, dryly humorous style, Plantinga tells what he's learned from 13 years as a patrolman, from the everyday to the exotic - how to know at a glance when a suspect is carrying a weapon or is going to attack, how to kick a door down, how to drive in a car chase without recklessly endangering the public, why you should always carry cigarettes, even if you don't smoke (offering a smoke is the best way to lure a suicide to safety), and what to do if you find a severed limb (don't put it on ice - you need to keep it dry.)
400 Things Cops Know deglamorizes police work, showing the gritty, stressful, sometimes disgusting reality of life on patrol, from the possibility of infection - criminals don't always practice good hygiene - to the physical, psychological, and emotional toll of police work. Plantinga shows what cops experience of death, the legal system, violence, prostitution, drug use, the social causes and consequences of crime, alcoholism, and more. Sometimes heartbreaking and often hilarious, 400 Things Cops Know is an eye-opening revelation of what life on the beat is really all about.

A Powerful Stimulus to Appreciate Police Officers
Although we know that cops have a difficult job to do, as citizens we tend to take them for granted. This book gives a better appreciation of the sacrifice that policing requires and the toll that it takes on the individuals who are brave enough to protect and serve our society. It should be required reading for all high school students to promote more respect for law enforcement for a job well done. The author presents a balanced and honest portrayal of what it is like to be a cop. The narrator does a fantastic job. Definitely one if the best audiobooks I have listened to! A must “read”.

Good
The title is meant to be taken literally. The book is comprised of 400 short, two sentance things about being a cop. I would have preferred 100 of the best tips with four times the information and backstory, but its neither here nor there. Thanks

LEGIT!
being "on the job" I enjoy listening to others tales of life in their department. although this is set in the States & I work in Canada there were so so many points that I would quietly nod my agreement to or, sometimes, guffaw out loud at the honesty of it. there were several things that I also thought were great tips. enjoyed it very much.

Simply Excellent!
I really loved this book - police officers don’t get the respect they deserve! Has a feel of Southland (tv show).
