Officer
in Trouble is based on the real life experiences of its author, James Crawford, a veteran of the Detroit Police Department. According to the book description, “an intense and committed man, Lieutenant
James Crawford dedicated himself to making Detroit's finest one of the best departments in the nation. His efforts, however, were not always appreciated and often he found himself on the wrong side of the political
battlefields. Against insurmountable odds, he continued to fight until succumbing
to the realization that he might win a battle or two, but he could never win the war.”
