About the Book

Gritty, scary, hilarious, and heartbreaking ... these remarkable true stories will take you on the roller coaster ride that is life as a Cleveland police officer. These are the real stories cops trade with each other after the shift, over a couple of beers. They're stories the rest of us rarely get to hear, because cops are often reluctant to open their world to outsiders. But now they share their compelling personal tales with the rest of us. Listen in as dozens of cops--active and retired, young and old, from rookie to chief--tell about their most memorable moments patrolling the streets of Cleveland. The biggest arrests, the dumbest criminals, the funniest practical jokes, the most frightening calls ... Their stories will give you goose bumps on one page and make you laugh until you're gasping for breath on the next. Some hit like a punch in the gut, some will make you stop and wonder. On this ride you'll get a front-seat look at one of the toughest jobs in town--and gain a better understanding of the men and women who put their lives on the line every day to do it. A real eye-opener, and great fun to read. "This book should be required reading for every elected official and for every citizen." -- Chief Edward P. Kovacic (retired), Cleveland Police Department

About the Author :
John Tidyman wrote for just about every publication in Northeast Ohio and was the author of several books. After graduating from Lakewood High School in 1967, he was drafted and fought in the Vietnam War, and returned a 19-year-old buck sergeant. After stints as a waiter, a warehouseman, and an air freight agent, he joined the Cleveland Press as a reporter. He later wrote for Cleveland Magazine, Ohio Magazine, and Corporate Cleveland Magazine, among others. He also worked in public relations at the East Ohio Gas Company. He didn't stop writing until his death in 2022.

Review :
A fascinating collection of true tales from Cleveland police officers and retired officers . . . an honest look at what officers witness and experience every day.--A.H . A.H "Bedford Times-Register" (12/16/2004 12:00:00 AM) If [this] new book by John H. Tidyman doesn't make you want to run right out and join the force, nothing will.--Erik Cassano "Medina County Gazette" (12/11/2004 12:00:00 AM) Predictably, some of the stories are far too graphic to print here, both graphically funny and graphically tragic.--Tom Corrigan "Sun News" (11/11/2004 12:00:00 AM) Some books are called great rides; Cleveland Cops is a ride-along, as officers of all ranks and departments, from retired Cleveland police chief Ed Kovacic down to the cadets, talk about memorable CSIs and Murray Hill street blues . . . [Offers] local readers the kinds of narratives one secretly hopes to hear when programming the latest frequencies on the Radio Shack scanner.--Charles Cassady, Jr. "Free Times" (12/15/2004 12:00:00 AM)
