Summary

Officer Susan L. Bickett invites listeners into her squad car for a ride-along in the city of Green Bay, Wisconsin. Not unlike the good, the bad, and the ugly, listeners will experience the routine, the tones, and the unbelievable. 

In this candid day-in-the-life memoir, listeners will experience the humanness of police officers as they serve and protect their communities. In an occupation where no two days are the same, being prepared is a unique challenge, especially as a female officer. Officer Bickett shares her journey from under the headset, to beat cop, and even a brief detective stint. 

Buckle up! This is a ride full of stories with a glimpse behind the badge while riding the thin blue line.

Relatable

Just like any other person, cops are people, too. You will realize that cops are humans who feel emotions like anger, sadness, joy, and compassion.

Exciting

Inspiring

This memoir, aside from narrating the daily life of a cop, is also filled with life lessons that will inspire you to do good and to be a better person. You will come to know that cops appreciate the little gestures like smiles and nods of thanks that acknowledge their hard work.

Behind the scenes

Officer Bickett’s memoir will take you behind the scenes of a cop’s daily life. It’s not always full of action like what you see on television. Each day is different and unique in their own way, and most of the time cops help people without need for force or violence.

Narration seems to fall off half way through.

I'm sure Susan's story is really interesting, however Jason's narration is terrible. He gets half way through, just after the section on drunk drivers, he starts to pause inexplicably, then keeps repeating sentences as though he's trying to get the inflection correct. I didn't pay to listen to glorified outtakes. Sorry but I had to give up, please get a new narrator or record properly. Thanks

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
