For Computers in Criminal Justice, Police Technology, Introductory Cybercrime and Introductory Crime
Analysis courses as well as courses in Management of Public Information Systems.
The only book of its kind available today, Police Technology is an up-to-date, practical examination of
information technology in law enforcement. Through the lens of common criminal justice themes such as
community policing, fragmentation, and other criminological theories, it tackles the broad field of
information technology systematically - it starts with a basic introduction to computers, explores police
communications technology, and presents cutting-edge strategic and tactical technology used by police
to predict, investigate and prevent crime.

This website is an out-growth of Authors of the Los
Angeles Police Department. When we started working
on the former project we realized that many state and
local police officers shared their talent, experience and
knowledge through books. And, what some amazing
stories they have shared!
We (several police officers turned authors) kicked
around the idea - but we had to have rules. Being
long-time slaves to bureaucracy we developed rules for
inclusion:
The author made probation. At a minimum this is the
official bureaucratic measure of being a police officer.
You authored something. We decided that since the
21st Century is here we would include - police officer
blogs, police officer websites and police officer
magazine articles. Quite frankly, we found that many
police officers have launched interesting post career
businesses. However, we are only going to list book
authors by name and devote a webpage(s) to them and
their work. Blogs, Websites and Articles are listed as a
category.
No charge for inclusion and no one gets turned away.
Frankly, we don't always like what our peers have
written. Unless its obviously pornographic (we hope
not), advocates the over-throw of the government; or,
the return of liesure suits - its included.

American Heroes Press is more than just a means of
publishing your book. It's a growing, active and
innovative community of writers. Retired police Lt.
Raymond E. Foster of the Los Angeles Police
Department started this community in 2003. Today it
offers a brand of publishing designed specifically for
true American Heroes: police, military, firefighters
and emergency workers.
As an American Hero, great things are accomplished
through teamwork. This community – this team – is
here to help you achieve success with your literary
work.
History: How did American Heroes Press
arrive where it is today?
In 2003, the founder of American Heroes Press, retired
police Lt. Raymond E. Foster of the Los Angeles Police
Department, published his first book with a traditional
publishing house. He quickly learned that authors,
even in a large house, were primarily responsible for
marketing their books. So, in essence, success equaled
learning the business side of writing.
While his publisher was somewhat active marketing in
traditional channels, it was through Foster's own
innovative marketing that his book was adopted in
more than 120 universities and colleges nationwide.
One such innovation was the creation of an online
social network of law enforcement officials who also
authored books. This dynamic network, www.police-
writers.com, opened the door to tremendous
cooperative marketing and distribution opportunities.
In 2006, after the growing success of www.police-
writers.com, Foster began exploring other social
networks. As a former service member, he launched
www.military-writers.com and began creating a social
network of active, former and retired U.S. service
members with published books. Then, in 2007, at the
request of several firefighters, he created www.
firefighter-writers.com. Thus, by early 2008, the
structure of American Heroes Press had formed.
Today, the heroes of America – law enforcement, fire
and military personnel – now have a community to join
where their literary voices can be heard. The Web site,
www.police-writers.com, lists more than 1,000 state and
local law enforcement officials who are published
authors. Moreover, the Web site lists federal and
international law enforcement professionals, as well as
other criminal justice practitioners. Of those listed,
more than 350 are active marketing partners. And the
numbers continue to rise.
Join Our Community!
If you are an American Hero who has already
published, we welcome you to join our growing
community. Visit the individual Web sites, view the
FAQs sections and send your information to the editor
to become a member. And, if you're not yet a published
author, view our publishing packages to publish

In 2003, the founder of American Heroes Press, retired
police Lt. Raymond E. Foster of the Los Angeles Police
Department, published his first book with a traditional
publishing house. He quickly learned that authors,
even in a large house, were primarily responsible for
marketing their books. So, in essence, success equaled
learning the business side of writing.
While his publisher was somewhat active marketing in
traditional channels, it was through Foster's own
innovative marketing that his book was adopted in
more than 120 universities and colleges nationwide.
One such innovation was the creation of an online
social network of law enforcement officials who also
authored books. This dynamic network, www.police-
writers.com, opened the door to tremendous
cooperative marketing and distribution opportunities.
In 2006, after the growing success of www.police-
writers.com, Foster began exploring other social
networks. As a former service member, he launched
www.military-writers.com and began creating a social
network of active, former and retired U.S. service
members with published books. Then, in 2007, at the
request of several firefighters, he created www.
firefighter-writers.com. Thus, by early 2008, the
structure of American Heroes Press had formed.
Today, the heroes of America – law enforcement, fire
and military personnel – now have a community to join
where their literary voices can be heard. The Web site,
www.police-writers.com, lists more than 1,000 state and
local law enforcement officials who are published
authors. Moreover, the Web site lists federal and
international law enforcement professionals, as well as
other criminal justice practitioners. Of those listed,
more than 350 are active marketing partners. And the
numbers continue to rise.

1000 Police Officers
May 4, 2008 (San Dimas, CA) Police-Writers.com is a
website that lists state and local police officers who
have written books. The website welcomed its 1000th
police officer: Chief Arnold A. Gibbs.
Chief Arnold Gibbs was born in the Bahamas and
raised in Miami. Chief Arnold Gibbs has a BA from
Barry University as well as a Masters in Management
from St. Thomas University. Chief Arnold Gibbs is a
decorated US Army veteran, having served three years
including a one-year tour in Vietnam. At the age of
22, he joined the Miami Police Department. During his
law enforcement career with the Miami Police
Department he earned the Miami Police Department
Medal of Honor and rose to the rank of assistant chief.
In 1994, he retired from the Miami Police Department
and became the Chief of Police for the Cape Coral
Police Department (Florida). He retired from the Cape
Coral Police Department after ten years of service.
Chief Arnold Gibbs is the author of The Ties That Blind
and Where Are the Champions: A Simple Approach to
Effective Criminal Justice and Social Reform.
According to the book description of The Ties That Blind
, it is quite appropriate to the time in consideration of
the present growth of interest in religious and spiritual
matters. Additionally, much of the storys prophetic
content is extremely relevant to the events of
September 11, 2001, although the book was completed
prior to that date. The author skillfully depicts the
realities of racial prejudice; much of the violence being
recounted from his experience, while driving home the
point that love always conquers hate. It is a true
inspiration to people of faith, criminal justice
practitioners, and those who fight for racial equality
and brotherly love.
According to a reader of The Ties That Blind, Arnold's
portrayal of the pains of prejudice inflicted on the
innocent broke my heart, but with each turn of the
page he showed how love, honor and loyalty to one's
beliefs can overcome even the most deeply imbedded
hatred. A truly inspiring story you won't want to put
down!
Another reader said, This was one of the most
interesting and saddening depictions of race and
prejudice in America. Nowhere has the truth been
portrayed in a more realistic and sobering fashion.
Arnold Gibbs captures the essence of the era, and
reveals the truth about the hurt and pain of injustice. I
would highly recommend this to student of justice, and
American History.

Federal and Local Cops
May 23, 2008 (San Dimas, CA) Police-Writers.com is a

faced the real threat of foreign spies stealing military
and industrial secrets—and that it had no established
means to combat them. With an insider’s knowledge
and a storyteller’s skill, Batvinis provides a page-
turning history narrative that greatly revises our views
of the FBI—and also resonates powerfully with our own
post-9/11 world.”
