Honolulu Cop

It's "the toughest, direst, most satisfying job in town," and in Honolulu Cop: Reflections on a Career with HPD, retired major Gary A. Dias takes us with him as he learns the ropes and moves from assignment to assignment, encountering crooks, resourceful prostitutes, deadly snipers, ornery dogs, and even a few ghosts. With self-deprecating humor and a judicious assessment of strength and weakness of those on both sides of the law, Dias provides an inside look at the evolution of law enforcement since the 1970s.
