Blue on Blue: An Insider's Story of Good Cops Catching Bad Cops
Linda avatar reviewed on + 770 more book reviews


This is a non-fictional account of this author's work mainly in Internal Affairs .. just what the title says ... good cops catching bad cops. From his days as a street cop to heading NYPD's Internal Affairs Bureau, this is a fascinating look at the inner workings of the ever growing New York Police Department.

The author mentions several names that are probably well known to lots of people such as Frank Serpico and Bill DeBlasio and Rudy Giuliani.

Campisi worked under four police commissioners and put together a plan to scout out and remove corrupt police that is still the gold standard today in police departments across the country.

This is a well written account that anyone and everyone in law enforcement or who wants to be in law enforcement should read.

Many thanks to the author / Scribner / Netgalley for the digital copy and the opportunity to read this most interesting book. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.
