Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss. There were some fascinating details, but I wasn't really interested in reading repeated justifications of police shootings. This story is a strange mixture of the importance of policing the police and excuses for why police officers might do something to get on IAB's radar in the first place, and it felt a little tone deaf as a result. Book received from Netgalley. This book is the biography of a former member of IAB, Internal Affairs Bureau, Charles Campisi. He is now retired from the NYPD, he worked the department during 9/11 and went through multiple scandals with it. I enjoyed reading this since prior to reading this I have only known of the department through the portrayal of it on shows like CSI. Working in that department seems to be a very hard job, especially since your fellow officers don't trust you and consider you a rat. It was really enjoyable and I will probably read this again. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
From 1996 through 2014 Charles Campisi headed NYPD's Internal Affairs Bureau, working under four police commissioners and gaining a reputation as hard-nosed and incorruptible. When he retired, only one man on the 36,000-member force had served longer. During Campisi's IAB tenure, the number of New Yorkers shot, wounded, or killed by cops every year declined by ninety percent, and the number of cops failing integrity tests shrank to an equally startling low. But to achieve those exemplary results, Campisi had to triple IAB's staff, hire the very best detectives, and put the word out that bad apples wouldn't be tolerated. While early pages of Campisi's absorbing account bring us into the real world of cops, showing, for example, the agony that every cop suffers when he fires his gun, later pages spotlight a harrowing series of investigations that tested IAB's capacities, forcing detectives to go undercover against cops who were themselves undercover, to hunt down criminals posing as cops, and to break through the "blue wall of silence" to verify rare--but sometimes very real--cases of police brutality.
