Four Police Writers


Police-Writers.com is a website that lists state and local police officers who have written books. The website added four police officers: Ronald Pinkston; L. Ken Rogers; Frederick T. Martens; and, Justin Dintino.

Ronald Pinkston was a senior corporal for the Dallas Police Department. He is the author of A Police Officer That's What I'll Be! Ronald Pinkston’s book drives home the simple point that children can rely on police officers to help them when they are hurt, lost, or in danger. According to the book description, “this is a story of a little boy who continues to need help after he climbs up a tree and wonders what he would be. The boy later realizes what he wants to be after being helped throughout the day by police officers Garcia, Roper and Smith.”

L. Ken Rogers is a 21 year veteran of law enforcement. He is a medically retired from the Pleasant Ridge Police Department (Michigan). Ken Rogers is the author of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder: A Police Officers Report. According to the book description, “a police officer in Pleasant Ridge, Michigan was desperate and wide open to emotional pain. On the outside he looked all right, but he wasn't. His post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms were classic. He was emotionally ill. This book is a must for law enforcement agencies and personnel throughout the country.”

After a distinguished career combating crime with the New Jersey State Police, Frederick T. Martens retired at the rank of lieutenant. He then served as Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Crime Commission. He is the co-author of Police Intelligence Systems in Crime Control: Maintaining a Delicate Balance in a Liberal Democracy.

He served as superintendent of the New Jersey State Police for four years, beginning in 1990. He is also the author of The Structure of Organized Crime in New Jersey.
