註釋Police officers put their lives on the line every day: They have one of the most dangerous jobs in the worldespecially the ones that work in inner cities like Baltimore. Steve P. Danko Sr. knows that all too well: Born and raised in Baltimore, he joined the Baltimore Police Department in 1962 and served until 1987. He saw the city set ablaze during the riots of 1968. He had friends in uniform that were injured or killed. He arrested armed robbery suspects, numerous purse-snatchers and thieves, and engaged in routine police work day after dayand he survived. In this memoir, he shares a candid account of being a police officer from the day he joined the force to the day he retired. Throughout his career, he made life-or-death decisions in split seconds. He also had the privilege of serving with the elite Homicide Division, rubbing elbows with some of the smartest detectives in the city and trying to track down murderers, including a serial killer who dismembered his victims. Get an inside look at the remarkable acts of courage and sacrifice that police officers display on an almost daily basis in Tour of Duty.
