If you like no-nonsense crime-busting, straight-shooting opinions, and offbeat humor, you ll love this greatest-hits collection from surprise Internet sensation Chief David A. Oliver of the Brimfield Police Department . . .
He s been called the coolest police chief in existence, but David Oliver says he s just doing his job and still doesn t understand how his small-town police department s Facebook page attracted a worldwide audience. Readers from as far away as Australia, Ireland, and Hong Kong, and from every state in the U.S. stop by daily for a virtual cup of coffee with the chief.
Whether he s busting mopes (old-fashioned cop slang for criminal types), comforting a teen runaway, or promoting school safety, Oliver s folksy and feisty style connects with readers. He tackles tough issues: The invasion of Meth and other drugs. Drunk driving. School shootings. He champions personal responsibility, and chastises politicians.
I have a low tolerance for nonsense, Oliver says.
This book collects the best of the chief s politically incorrect essays, delightfully sarcastic letters to criminals, humorous crime reports, inspirational quotes, and more.
Enter the colorful world of the Brimfield PD . . . Where you do NOT want to win a pair of silver bracelets and a trip to the bed-and-breakfast . . . Where drug mopes are pursued by a Meth Whisperer . . . Where dispatch calls might include an APB ( All-Pig Bulletin ) . . . And where kids caught bicycling safely are issued tickets for free ice cream. If you re not a mope, you ll fit right in!
David Oliver will donate all of his income from this book to the Chief Oliver Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that distributes funds to police department charitable programs and assists juvenile survivors of sexual assault.
