Howard A. Montas evolution from a picked-on,
chubby kid, to a risk-taking adventurer who was drawn to a long career as an
aggressive law enforcer. The saga spans his life from childhood in a poor
Seattle neighborhood, to his retirement from the
Seattle Police Department in 1997.The colorful
narration of his infatuation for a New York girl whom he cajoled into marrying
him, despite his outrageous behavior, will bring a smile to the face of even the
most somber reader.
Howard Monta said of How Police Officers
Get Hired (Formerly entitled, Cops Who Succeed), the book provides
insight into the most exciting, most controversial, most scrutinized, and the
most important occupation in our society. In addition to vividly describing the
public expectations and actual duties of police officers, Chapters One through
Four identify the personal qualities of those who are "cut out" to be cops. The
application, testing, and training processes are meticulously described.
Chapters Five through Eleven describe those elements of the
law enforcement profession that cause stress,
low morale, and eventual job burnout. Helpful methods of surviving the stress
and trauma of police duties are offered. This information is not only directed
toward prospective officers, it is also invaluable for experienced officers. The
book will never be outdated. Similar requirements and problems that exist for
cops today, existed in the 1960s, and will continue to be relevant for
generations to come.
