True crime, comedy and employment

April 9, 2007 (San Dimas, CA) Police-Writers.com is a website dedicated to listing state and local police officers who have authored books. The website added three police authors: Ross Koepp, William Cassara and Wayne LeQuang.

Lieutenant Ross Koepp of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department is the author of Culture Shock. According to one reader/reviewer Culture Shock, “is the absorbing first person account of the investigation of the murder of Gisela Pfleger in the Californian San Jacinto Mountains. The perpetrator was an Asian youth whose family was in the process of trying to adjust to a new society and culture. The investigating officer shows the human side of his police work: long working hours, empathy with the victims, thoughts, feelings, and even tears on the long road to justice. That's what makes this book worth reading, the necessary toughness, which is tempered by sensibility. I am not really a reader of detective novels, but I enjoyed this one because it rings true.”

Sergeant William J. Cassara of the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office (California) is the author of number law enforcement related articles as well as the book Edgar Kennedy: Master of the Slow Burn. The book is about the comic Edgar Kennedy who appeared in over 400 movies and one of Laurel & Hardy's most popular co-stars.

Wayne LeQuang is a police officer for the California State University, Fullerton Police Department. According to Wayne LeQuang, his book, How to Become a Peace Officer, “will help you through the arduous process of fulfilling your dream. Many have tried to enter law enforcement, but only a selected few will ever attend the police or sheriff academy and graduate to the position of peace officer. Let me help you fulfill your dream. My workbook is filled with so much inside information and knowledge that if you do not read this workbook, you will be at a disadvantage compared to those applicants who have bought and completed my assignments. The information in this workbook will be the exact information I pass on to my children.”
