The world of law enforcement is a subculture unto itself, with different codes of
conduct, jargon, body language, and social mores. In True Blue, Lynda Sue Cooper
answers the question, "What's It Like?" for those of you who are dedicated enough
to the craft of fiction writing to want to get it right. Though outsiders are not
usually embraced amongst the blue brotherhood, True Blue jimmies the door a bit so
you may gain entrance into this closed society, step over that line, and get a feel for
what it's like:
- Being a cop
-Working the streets, responding to calls, investigating crimes
-Going through the academy and field training
-Wearing a badge, handcuffing someone, losing a case, helping a child
-When you-know-what hits the fan out there
