Book Description
The 1917 election of Mayor George Luis Baker ushered a long era of unscrupulous greed into Portland government. While supposedly enforcing prohibition laws, Baker ordered police chief Leon Jenkins to control and profit from the bootlegging market. Baker filled city coffers and his friends' pockets with booze-soaked cash while sensational headlines like the 1929 affair between policeman Bill Breuning and informant Anna Schrader scandalized the city. Maligned in the press, Schrader executed a bitter campaign to recall the mayor. In 1933, a hired gunman murdered special investigator to the governor Frank Aiken a day before he would have filed a report on corruption in the city government. Authors JD Chandler and Theresa Griffin Kennedy unearth the salacious details of Baker's crooked administration in a revelatory account of prohibition in the Rose City.

Book Description
The City of Roses, as natives of Portland, Oregon like to call it, has a long and honorable history of crime and corruption, starting as far back as the post-Civil War frontier days, leading into the mobster-infused decades of the twentieth century when prohibition, prostitution, gambling, and hard drugs besieged the town. The so-called Great Portland Vice Scandal of 1956-57 spilled into national politics, with hearings before the Senate Rackets Committee. When the '70s rolled around, members of the police narcotics squad were caught red-handed perpetrating nefarious deeds. This Northwest city, known best today for its punk rock and hipster comedies like Portlandia, was once overrun with corruption and foul play. Rose City Vice reveals a city where the cops are putting drugs back on the street, maybe even committing murder. The city council is high on coke, and the mayor is carrying on a clandestine sexual relationship with 13-year- old schoolgirl while under surveillance by the vice squad. It's 1970's Portland and blackmail is in the air.

Book Description
A collection of short stories told by cops and from observations by the author. It spans the period from the 1960's to the 21st century. The primary police venue is Hawaii but it mirrors police experience nationwide. Some of the stories were never meant to be public and were passed around only in social gatherings of cops. Now that some of the principals have long since retired and are passing away, the author wanted to capture some of the significant memoirs in print. It is a project similar to Steven Ambrose's Band of Brothers where he wanted to capture the memoirs of a small group of World War Two soldiers before their stories died with them. Examples in this book include a quiet police chief who decided to authorize a special squad to use force to take back control of the streets from the "bad boys." It tells the tale of a homicide lieutenant with a Dirty Harry attitude coping with Hawaii's first serial killer case. It highlights great police leaders, as well as poor examples of leadership. It tells the pain of cops being taken down by the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division. It tells about homosexual cops having difficulty watching hunks changing in the locker room. It tells about cops at play and cops at mischief. Included are sociological analyses in an attempt to explain why street cops think and act the way they do. At the conclusion you come away with a behind-the-scenes view of street cops as only a former cop can tell it.
