Understanding Police

Understanding Police is the no-holds barred explanation of the organization, operation and culture of law enforcement. The complexity of the profession and the almost mystical power of the secretive culture is almost always misunderstood by the civilian observer and the academic researcher. Retired Chief of Police and Cultural Anthropologist, Scott Silverii, PhD studied his own over the course of a cross-country, multi-year examination of police. 

His academic dissertation has been published under the titles of A Darker Shade of Blue: From Public Servant to Professional Deviant, and Cop Culture: Why Good Cops Go Bad. Understanding Police is the stripped down edition that delivers a no-nonsense explanation based on unbiased research and over 25 years of police experience. It may not always be pretty, but it's always the truth.
