July 1, 2007 (San Dimas, CA)
Police-Writers.com is a website that lists state and local police officers who
have written books. Cruising past 600 cops, Police-Writers.com added three
police officers from the Midwest who have authored books. Added to website
were:
Timothy Lindstrom,
Z.C. Smith and
Mike Butler.
Timothy Lindstrom grew up in Macomb County and
graduated from Oakland University in 1984 in the field of medical
technology. Tim worked as a medical
technologist at Detroit Receiving Hospital from 1984 until 1992. Timothy
Lindstrom attended the Macomb Police Academy in the winter of 1992 and became a
police officer for the
New Baltimore Police Department that same year.
In 1999, Timothy Lindstrom became a K9 handler and partner with Cubby. In
2003, he lost his partner, Cubby, to cancer.
Timothy Lindstrom is the author of The
Adventures of Cubby. According to the book description, this
children's book is based on a true story of a police canine. The story begins
with the early struggles of Cubby whose excited personality does not allow him
to fit in. Because Cubby is so energetic, he fails a test to become a guide dog
for the blind. Cubby is brought to the Humane Society where he's discovered by a
police canine trainer. The trainer tests Cubby for police work and due to his
energetic personality, passes all the initial tests. The trainer takes Cubby to
K-9 school and teachers him to become a narcotics dog; sniffing out illegal
drugs for the police. Cubby is teamed up with a canine unit in the city of New
Baltimore, Michigan. Cubbys adventure continues as he works with the police
taking illegal drugs and criminals off the streets. Due to Cubby's awesome
personality and endless energy, he becomes loved by his department, community
and family.
Z.C. Smith spent over 20 years with the
Wichita Police Department before retiring in
2002. During his tenure, he was a street cop, an investigator (Narcotics/Vice,
case detective, gang detective, night [felony] detective) and supervisor. Z.C.
Smith is the author of the fictional novel 10 Millimeter.
According to the book
description, 10 Millimeter is a police drama set against two very
diverse backgrounds...modern day Wichita and colorful 1870s Wichita. It has
been written to be as historically and geographically accurate as was practical
which greatly adds dimensionality to both the setting and the main characters
and provides the reader with a sense of actually being there. Adventure, drama,
suspense, western flavor, humor, a little romance/sex, and the supernatural all
come together to form a story which naturally flows from one page to the
next--youll find it hard to put down!
Mike Butler was a
police officer for the
Louisville Police Department (Kentucky) for 13
years. He retired in 2000 at the rank of detective.
Mike Butler is the author of Landlording
on Auto-Pilot: A Simple, No-Brainer System for Higher Profits and Fewer
Headaches. According to the book description, Discover how Mike Butler
managed 75 rental properties while working full-time as a police
detectivebefore he hired any part-time help. Once you've learned
