Having had a grandfather and father on the Chicago Police Department made the choice of becoming a police officer relatively simply. Between the excitement of having a real profession and the prospect of following in the Casey footprint, the Chicago Police Department seemed a natural choice. I donned my recruit uniform in November,1977, at the age of twenty-five.
After seventeen years of patrolman status, I was promoted to sergeant. As a supervisor I continued my learning and teaching for thirteen years of overseeing young men and women until 2008. I retired at the age of fifty-six after thirty years of a very wide variety of police work and assignments.
In 2002 I received my Bachelor of Arts degree from Lewis University, and in 2005, I earned my Masters of Science degree, also from Lewis University.
After a few months of relaxation I started my new career as an adjunct professor of Criminal Justice at a local college. I have been teaching there ever since.
I have written a book of memories from my thirty years of vaudeville. My book’s title is “Stories of a Chicago Police Officer.” What separates this book from other police books is, I use humor and honesty to enlighten the reader to everyday police work. My reviews have been very favorable and I am satisfied that anyone reading my compilation short stories will go away with a deep satisfaction and a smile.
