Police Writers Wanted for TRUE BLUE II

Police-Writers.com, a website dedicated to listing state and local police officers who have authored books, announced that one of the listed authors, Lieutenant Randy Sutton, has begun work on his latest book by collecting stories written by, and about, police officers.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Lieutenant Randy Sutton, who published TRUE BLUE, Police Stories by Those Who Have Lived Them (2003) has announced that he is collecting stories by active duty and former police officers for a second edition of the acclaimed book. More than $30,000 was donated to the NY Police and Fire Widows and Children’s Fund as a result of royalties from sales of the books which are still available in hard cover and paperback in bookstores and at AMAZON.COM; as is his latest book, A Cop’s Life. Lieutenant Randy Sutton is going to donate partial proceeds from the second edition to the National Law Enforcement Memorial Fund in Washington D.C. and the book will be used as a fund raising tool by the organization.

“The written word is the most powerful tool we possess” Sutton said in his announcement, “and through our words, we create unity amongst ourselves and build bridges of understanding to the people that we serve.”

According to Sutton, stories can be anywhere between two to ten pages in length and the subjects can be amusing, sad, serious or whimsical. “Police work brings out all of our emotions” says Sutton, “and the stories in the book will simply reflect that. I’m looking for cops who have something to say, regardless of their writing experience.” Lieutenant Randy Sutton is especially interested in stories about fallen officers for the section entitled “Officer Down.” “There can be no better tribute to the police officers who gave their lives than to have their stories memorialized forever in this book.” Sutton said.

To submit a story, you can contact Sutton at www.truebluestories.com or send a hard copy to him at 2250 E. Tropicana Ave. PMB 19-735 Las Vegas NV 89119. Please include your contact information.
