Ebook About “Engaging. . . a remarkably candid account. . . Succeeding as a centrist in public life these days can be an almost impossible task. But centrism in law enforcement may be the most delicate challenge of all. Bratton’s ability to practice it was a startling phenomenon.” –New York Times Book ReviewThe epic, transformative career of Bill Bratton, legendary police commissioner and police reformer, in Boston, Los Angeles, and New YorkWhen Bill Bratton became a Boston street cop after his return from serving in Vietnam, he was dismayed by the corrupt old guard, and it is fair to say the old guard was dismayed by him, too. But his success fighting crime could not be denied. Propelled by extraordinary results, Bratton had a dazzling rise, and ultimately a dazzling career, becoming the most famous police commissioner of modern times. The Profession is the story of that career in full.Everywhere he went, Bratton slashed crime rates and professionalized the vocation of the cop. He and his team created the revolutionary program CompStat, the Big Bang of modern data-driven policing. But his career has not been without controversy, and central to the reckoning of The Profession is the fundamental crisis of relations between the Black community and law enforcement; a crisis he now believes has been inflamed by the unforeseen consequences of some well-intentioned policies. Building trust between a police force and the community it is sworn to protect is in many ways, Bratton argues, the first task--without genuine trust in law enforcement to do what is right, little else is possible.The Profession is both a searching examination of the path of policing over the past fifty years, for good and also for ill, and a master class in transformative leadership. Bill Bratton was never brought into a police department to maintain the status quo; wherever he went--from Boston in the '80s to the New York Police Department in the '90s to Los Angeles after the beating of Rodney King to New York again in the era of unchecked stop-and-frisk--root-and-branch reinvention was the order of the day and he met the challenge. There are few other positions on Earth in which life-and-death stakes combine with intense public scrutiny and turbulent political crosswinds as they do for the police chief of a major American city, even more so after counterterrorism entered the mix in the twenty-first century. Now more than ever, when the role of the police in society is under a microscope like never before, Bill Bratton's authority on the subject of improving law enforcement is profoundly useful. A riveting combination of cop stories and community involvement, The Profession presents not only a fascinating and colorful life at the heights of law-enforcement leadership, but the vision for the future of American policing that we sorely need.Book The Profession: A Memoir of Community, Race, and the Arc of Policing in America Review :
Bill Bratton has been involved in police work for over 50 years. After serving as an MP in Vietnam, he joined the Boston Police Department in 1970. He worked with the Transit Police from 1990-92, became Boston Police Commissioner from 1993-1994, transitioned to NY City Police Commissioner in two stints under two different mayors 1994-1996 and 2014-2016 and served as LA Police Commissioner 2002-2012. Throughout the years, he noted the change in the police force from primarily all male, Christian, caucasian military veterans to college educated men and women of every race, color and creed.Just as the police force itself changed, so did its goals. Police transitioned from primarily responding to crime to crime prevention. Community policing took center stage. There appeared to be a correlation between slums and crime resulting in Broken Windows policing: improving neighborhoods could decrease crime. Science and technology became as important tools to the cop as his/her gun and badge.American society, though, was also changing. The police force was not always sensitive to issues of race, prejudice and economic disadvantage. The laws of the land were changing too and there were consequences for inappropriate use of force by the police. Despite increased police training, police, like all humans, embraced implicit biases. There was an increase, in especially urban areas, of drug addicts and homeless people, many of whom suffered from mental illness. The general population, especially criminals, were armed and viewed police as the enemy. Caught in dangerous situations where their own lives were on the line, police were captured on social media both at their best and at their worst. Movements like "Black Lives Matter" and "Defunding the Police" intensified the divide between law enforcement and the general population.All of these complicated issues are certainly worth consideration. At times, Bratton's egotism and stories about police "cronies", divert from the main issues of the book. Bratton's narrow lens sees the main solution in bolstering the police: increased numbers, more diversity, more training and better evaluative tools. This reviewer would suggests that there must be a wider approach PARTNERING the police with other agencies including social services, mental health specialists, legislators and the judicial system. Certainly, this volume provides a lot of background, but the solutions Bratton offers, seem incomplete. This review comes from a personal perspective of having worked for Bratton three times in 3 decades. First as a NYC Transit cop rookie when he took over in 1990 as chief. Then again in 1994 post and pre-merge as commissioner and finally in 2014 where I finished my career out at a Bronx precinct as a patrol officer in 2020 completing 30yrs of service. //////I will try to divide this review between my personal opinions and unbiased observations/revelations of the work itself.The book is a great read from cover to cover. There’s no demarcation between Bratton and Knobler much like their previous book “Turnaround”, another piece I enjoyed.As a young cop when I came on the job on October 15, 1990, I came from the private sector and was actually considered middle age at 31, back then anyway when most “Kids” were in their early 20’s joining the force. Bratton imprinted me from day one to day 10950. So yes I’m a big fan of “Billy”. First names, often nicknames were big back in the ’80s and ’90s. Along with calling female officers “Girls”. Not meant in a demeaning way as it was more of an affectionate term. I learned then William Bratton really cares about his cops, sincerely. On the other hand, I also learned the City itself does not care one bit about you. In all fairness though, the job itself, if you’re not jammed up, does its best to support you in times of crisis. There are some perks that still remain.Here’s the “Rundown”:-Chapter 1 is riveting. A truly accurate and personal account of what it feels like when people under your watch are murdered. Any NYC cop has seen and touched death by different means; up close and first hand probably more times than he or she could count. The reader is taken into this hell. A year after Bratton left office PO Miosotis Familia was assassinated on July 5, 2017, in a similar fashion by a POS who should have been residing with his ancestors many years before instead of walking the streets. I knew her personally.-Chapters 3, 4, and 5 recount and reflects Bratton’s upcoming rise throughout the ranks and how he started to solidify and formalize his police “Kung Fu” in Boston and apply the concepts and strategies that would “Turn Around” any department he ever commanded. From the outside in, the reader can see and feel what the inner workings of a police department are like; the daily operation, function, camaraderie, politics and policies and how the local government directly influences their success or subsequent failure…as we are witnessing today in just about every major state and city in our beloved country highjacked by the left socialists. I would always say the only people who can commit murder and get away with it are politicians and district attorneys. Their mandates and policies directly or indirectly cause the death of innocent people. Hundreds if not thousands dead. They have, I learned in chapter 13 of this book, “Absolute Immunity”.-Chapters 5 and 6 “Transit and NYPD” are near and dear to my heart of course. How Bratton made it happen against all odds. You get to see what it is like dealing with Mayor Giuliani along with an inside look at the inner workings of NYC. The methodology implemented by Bratton to clean this city up and bring morale and pride back to the department. I feel privileged and humbled to be a part of this history. If you are a police buff also read Jack Maple’s book “The Crime Fighter”. Maple was a key figure in Bratton’s regime and had a lot to do with his success. Essentially the city is like a snake eating its own tail, always has been and always will be. You can see it now in the current Democratic party. The snake is eating its tail and the tail doesn’t like it.-Chapter 7 “LA Law:” Holy crap I had no idea how screwed up California was before Bratton got there. What an education! Every law enforcement agency in every town, city, state, or county is its own universe. Each one looks, feels, and operates differently. The only constant is that the human condition at its worst resides in every location ubiquitously. Over the years in my career, I’d be at home watching the TV show “Cops” saying “Wow we’re not allowed to do that”. Or “What the hell are those cops doing? Bad tactics. That’s not how we were taught”. Also, I was shocked to learn that now DA George Gascon actually worked for Bratton when he was Chief there [as a communist Cuban double agent…just kidding]. Billy really dropped the ball on that one. As we all know Gascon is facing a recall along with his buddy Newsom.-Chapters 8 and 9 Bratton’s unfinished work in the NYPD. A lot of people liked the Ray Kelly regime. During interviews, he spoke like a confident general. However, all his front-line cops hated him. He gave out Green paper [discipline] like candy and ruled with an iron fist. Employees lost in some cases, all their vacation days and were suspended for things over which they had no control. Stop Question and Frisk [UF 250] went bad when he turned it into a piece of activity [i.e. a summons or arrest]. Before that, it was a great tool that saved lives and no one abused it, for the most part. Always a bad apple in every profession. When Dil Blasio revoked it, guns came back out on the street and countless innocents died. The NYPD is run like a corporation. It’s all about numbers. Car accidents and pedestrian injuries up write more summons. The positive numbers have to balance the negative numbers. In many cases that removes an officer’s discretion…All of which Bratton brings to light backed by police science and stats.When the summons fixing scandal emerged, instead of handling it in house administratively, Kelly tossed it to the DA’s corner. For the record, DA’s work hand in hand with cops but the conviction of a cop is a large feather in their cap and one they’ll jump on if they have the chance. However, most DA's wanted nothing to do with this. Primarily because lots of DA’s had their own personal summonses “fixed” in the past. One Bronx DA jumped on it, then it became a scandal that Kelly washed his hands of. Meanwhile Kelly and EVERY other boss and cop “Fixed summons” here and there when necessary. Common knowledge, common practice, unspoken of course. And NOT for personal gain except for this A-hole perp/cop that did; bringing this whole thing to light. Unfortunately, there will always be perp/cops who want to play both sides of the field. You can be a cop or a wise guy but not both. I’ve known a few and they were all arrested. Civilians may dislike the concept and think it's not fair but professional courtesy exists in ALL professions….including government. Let's be honest here, every human being wants VIP treatment when they can get it and that is a fact like it or not. And I seriously doubt any left-wing democrat liberal would turn down the offer from a cop of the coveted “PBA” card that could potentially get you out of a summons if you get pulled over. The same way left/socialist/Democrats don’t turn down private security 24-7 wait relief, so they can sleep peacefully at night- paid for by your hard-earned tax dollars. Mayor Doblasio should be given credit, however for bringing Bratton back to NYC and getting Kelly the hell out.-Chapters 10 and 11….Bratton is between a rock and a hard place here. There is no Implicit Bias in the NYPD period. I’m white with a Black/Latina wife and I worked with all people of color, religion, and different sexual preferences. Only two of my six steady partners were white. Yes, he delineates history and educates the reader of past sin. While he does not advocate for the Burn Loot Murder movement directly, he walks a fine line here. I sense it’s very painful for him to see his Democratic party undermined by liberals, leftists, and socialists ruining America and destroying the law enforcement house he built. Take this logic to its endpoint. Go back in time in history you'll see EVERY nation enslaved others including their own people. If I’m a Jew, I should be seeking reparations from blacks because the Black Egyptians enslaved my people, right? Endpoint diversionary logic.-Chapter 12 is worth the price of the book. They could make a movie about this. It shows who the enemies really are and just how much we have to worry about today. Unbelievable and supremely commendable what happens behind the scenes. No spoiler alert here.-Chapter 13 A sad lament of the current lawlessness and destruction in our society. NYC is like a third-world country. Crime everywhere. Homeless people overrunning the city like vermin setting up encampments wherever they please. All the “Windows are Broken”. young perps and gang members terrorize the streets and sidewalks with dirt bikes and quads speeding and doing wheelies in school zones. Illegal street car washes and vendors everywhere. Zero consequences for any violation, or crime even for that matter. Emotionally disturbed individuals roaming around like zombies committing depraved acts. Unregistered vehicles parked at every hydrant and crosswalk. Old people and children beaten, robbed, raped, and murdered like a sport by recidivist offenders let back out with no bail. No mention of the record suicide rate of the NYPD personal between 2019 and 2020. And those triple-digit numbers don’t reflect recent retirees either. Three PO’s of whom I knew personally and had at one time or another worked with. Very sad. So many cop funerals. This weighs heavy on any Police Commissioner’s consciousness. There is a lot of PTSD part and parcel of a package deal that comes with "the profession."How to fix this problem of lawlessness? The complete methodology is in the book. Simple, don't try to fix something that's not broken. What is missing? Today, Bully's lives matter, and bullies have rights and we know it's not about color. We live in a great day and age to be a criminal- there are just no consequences. Evil has and always will permeate society. Follow the history back to the dawn of time and you will see Man will commit atrocious acts to other Men and women if they’re allowed to. The same bullies in school when you were a kid are the same ones resisting arrests today. No one likes to be told what to do, not from a parent, teacher, or cop it is human nature. People think they know their rights clearly they have no clue. It's what they see on TV. Several of our Bill of rights were violated during the pandemic for example. But resistance to what is morally and legally right leads to no good. Whatsoever. I would remind my wife who is an NYC school teacher, that every serial killer was once a fourth-grader. Ninety-nine percent of so-called White cops killing black men is because those perps, like Eric Gardner and Michael Brown, were bullies. The arrest went bad because each one resisted arrest. The public is going to have to tolerate seeing these perps taken into custody by whatever means necessary and whatever the outcome. Stop blaming the cops for what bad guys do. Even if it's not pretty and even if it’s a press -case with crying families showing the perps best pictures next to their little children they abused and didn't support. The media and the politicians need to be on the side of the victims, not the criminal's side anymore. Criminals can and will die resisting arrest. It is going to happen. Cops don’t have superpowers. Overwhelming force is the only thing that stops evil in its tracks. That is how we win and have one wars. This is the reality. If the current administration does not support the police, crime and lawlessness will flourish. Remember that next time you vote.Coincidentally, like a window that breaks on its own, my copy of ”The Profession” broke in half right after I finished reading it. After page 242 the rest of the pages are separated from the binding. I'm rather surprised at Penguin Press. Maybe they are cutting costs these days. Usually, they produce top-shelf text. These things happen and I refuse to deduct a star. This is a 5 star-plus book and has much knowledge to impart to the reader if he or she is willing to empty their cup and learn. I would have to buy another copy if I went to an autograph signing…Which I would happily do. Bratton deserves a large-budget movie about his life. Truly a great thinker and strategist of our times. A class act. To quote him on his challenge coin. “Cops count Police Matter” Read Online The Profession: A Memoir of Community, Race, and the Arc of Policing in America Download The Profession: A Memoir of Community, Race, and the Arc of Policing in America The Profession: A Memoir of Community, Race, and the Arc of Policing in America PDF The Profession: A Memoir of Community, Race, and the Arc of Policing in America Mobi Free Reading The Profession: A Memoir of Community, Race, and the Arc of Policing in America Download Free Pdf The Profession: A Memoir of Community, Race, and the Arc of Policing in America PDF Online The Profession: A Memoir of Community, Race, and the Arc of Policing in America Mobi Online The Profession: A Memoir of Community, Race, and the Arc of Policing in America Reading Online The Profession: A Memoir of Community, Race, and the Arc of Policing in America Read Online Bill Bratton,Peter Knobler Download Bill Bratton,Peter Knobler Bill Bratton,Peter Knobler PDF Bill Bratton,Peter Knobler Mobi Free Reading Bill Bratton,Peter Knobler Download Free Pdf Bill Bratton,Peter Knobler PDF Online Bill Bratton,Peter Knobler Mobi Online Bill Bratton,Peter Knobler Reading Online Bill Bratton,Peter KnoblerDownload PDF A Perfect Wife (Blake Wilder FBI Mystery Thriller Book 2) By Elle Gray
