Debbie L. (DRLAKE66) reviewed The Badge: True and Terrifying Crime Stories That Could Not Be Presented on TV, from the Creator and Star of Dragnet on + 10 more book reviews
The Badge offers an interesting view of the typical working life of a LAPD cop. Webb is clearly a police supporter so he presents their actions in the best light possible. What also comes across is that no matter how hard they work and how dedicated they are, the police just can't solve every crime.
There were references to what must have been well known cases at the time but they didn't ring any bells for me. Despite this and Webb's bias, it was an interesting read. This book can also be picked up and read randomly. The reader can chose individual chapters and doesn't have to read it from start to finish.
