Caribbean Cops II Stephan M Arleaux

Forward Like Plato Caribbean Cop: (I) this novel is an amalgam of truth and fiction. All of the events described are based on actual occurrences, some of which have been slightly altered for the sake of dramatic unity. Some of the characters are a combination of several people; this allows a consolidation for literary efficiency. For example, Jose Gomez looks nothing like the character of Plato. Nevertheless, Plato has the best elements of the real Jose Gomez, driving what the character should be. The real people know who they are, and without them, this story would not have been possible. The names of living policemen have been changed to protect the privacy of those who were there. Some dates have also been chronologically adjusted. This story takes place at beginning of a new era. The story of what it was to be a Cop, and how Cops got the job done. Policemen in our story now had personal radios to talk to each other, and car radios. Light bars and electronic (not wind powered) sirens were now commonplace. Technology was expanding in forensics and the new science of DNA comparison was just seeing the first light of day. When speaking about ones career the term most often used is "Growth," in personal maturity, technical or professional expertise. Law enforcement is no exception. As a rookie patrolman and even a rookie Detective (plain clothes and 3rd grade), it's not easy, but most of your case assignment almost solve themselves, (man shoots man in pool room in front of countless witnesses) or at best you learn the art of documenting, that is-recreating the obvious on paper. What you want to know, which usually include the name and address of the perpetrator is virtually handed to you. By the time you have made Detective 2nd the case assignment become extremely more complex, who done it, murder on the orient express, for our avid mystery readers. You will see that more in this book than the last, and Plato III will be one case. Most of the chapters in this book will again begin with what I will call a Technical, Philosophical, or Experiential, relating to the subject of the story that will follow. I hope this will make the subject matter easier to follow, such as Arson, Crime Scene, and Homicide etc.
