Keith D.Bushey pens an extraordinary window into the LA law enforcement past with his book “My LAPD Journey: From Street Cop to Commander”

This book describes the LAPD, decade by decade (mid-1960s - mid-1990s) as it really was. Among the contents, all in the form of easy-to-read vignettes, are events that are humorous, painful, horrific, and incredible-yet 100% accurate in every word. For those involved in the significant transformation of yesteryear’s LAPD, from circumstances that are obviously false and unacceptable by today’s standards to the style of policing that characterizes the modern law enforcement profession, this book is for you!
 
Amazon user J.J. Preston, who gave the book a full five star rating online, commented on Keith’s magnificent work saying:
 
“The book takes the reader through the fascinating story of the author’s quest to become a member of the LAPD, through the rigors of the police academy, and ultimately to his assignment as a “street cop.” The individual stories, vignettes, and antidotes run the gamut of human emotion from very humorous, to very sobering, to very depressing - the good, the bad, and the ugly. But Commander Bushey’s story goes far beyond the streets. His extreme intelligence, personal drive, and ambition carry the reader along with him into the command structure of the department. His assessment of the challenges and responsibilities encountered while serving in various division and area command assignments is captivating. Along the way he gives the reader poignant insight into the difficulties he encountered toward the end of his career. There’s all this and much, much more in this really terrific read.”

About the Author
 
“I’ve known Keith since he was my commanding officer 25 years ago. He was one of the most respected command officers in the LAPD at the time. He walked the talk and treated everyone with respect and honesty. His book chronicles his rise through the ranks during some of the Department’s most tumultuous times. Keith’s depiction of the era is spot on in my opinion and anyone interested the LAPD and its history would enjoy the book. True to Keith’s character all profits generated from the book will be donated to charity.” – Amazon customer Walking Bear
