Police, Politics, and the Press: A Florida Case Study

The authors refer to this book as PPP, succinctly encapsulating the trappings of police, politics, and the press that should resonate with Americans of every generation. Contemporary volatility mostly invalidates the extraordinary pressure and influences imposed on local law enforcement officers. This handy, insightful read illustrates their challenges, failings, and successes documented by a detective and public information officer collaborating in a Florida police department. Most telling and unique in the annals of journalism and government, is the newspaper editor’s mayoral ascent compromising the same law enforcement protocols as the incumbent he obsessed over.
