June 12, 2007 (San Dimas, CA) Police-Writers.com, a website
dedicated to listing state and local
police officers who have authored books,
announced that one of the listed authors, Lieutenant
Randy Sutton, has begun work on his latest book
by collecting stories written by, and about,
police officers.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department
Lieutenant
Randy Sutton, who published TRUE BLUE,
Police Stories by Those Who Have Lived Them (2003) has announced that he
is collecting stories by active duty and former police officers for a second
edition of the acclaimed book. More than $30,000 was donated to the
NY Police and Fire Widows and Childrens Fund
as a result of royalties from sales of the books which are still available in
hard cover and paperback in bookstores and at AMAZON.COM; as is his latest book,
A Cops Life. Lieutenant
Randy Sutton is going to donate partial
proceeds from the second edition to the National
Law Enforcement Memorial Fund in Washington
D.C. and the book will be used as a fund raising tool by the organization.
The written word is the most powerful tool we possess
Sutton said in his announcement, and through our words, we create unity amongst
ourselves and build bridges of understanding to the people that we serve.
According to Sutton, stories can be anywhere between two to
ten pages in length and the subjects can be amusing, sad, serious or whimsical.
Police work brings out all of our emotions says Sutton, and the stories in
the book will simply reflect that. Im looking for cops who have something to
say, regardless of their writing experience. Lieutenant
Randy Sutton is especially interested in
stories about fallen officers for the section entitled Officer Down. There
can be no better tribute to the
police officers who gave their lives than to
have their stories memorialized forever in this book. Sutton said.
To submit a story, you can contact Sutton at
www.truebluestories.com or send a hard copy to
him at 2250 E. Tropicana Ave. PMB 19-735 Las Vegas NV 89119. Please include your
