(Atlanta, Georgia – July 24, 2010) Talk about irony. It has been approximately one year ago that Henry Louis Gates arrest was a page directly out of the newly released book A Black Man’s Guide to Law Enforcement in America. In chapter three of this book, author Shafiq R. Fulcher Abdussabur writes, “ Historically, most circumstances that have involved conflict between police and young African American and Latino/Hispanic males have been the result of a “failure to communicate” by all parties. What you need to know is if the police come up short on communication skills, it will not result in the officer going to jail. You will be the one to pay the price! So pay close attention!”

Written by a Black cop who is still an active “street cop” in a major urban police department, A Black Man’s Guide

Read the reviews:
Praised by Law Enforcement and Advocates alike, Reading the “Urban Guide to Law Enforcement in America” gave me pause to feel proud to be an African American police officer. This talks directly to the community that so often feels the brunt of “bad hair days”, “bad attitudes”, and just plain bad cops. While putting everything in an easy to read and understand format, this “tells it like it is.” Charles P. Wilson, National Chairman/CEO, National Association of Black Law Enforcement Officers, Inc.

This is the hottest ebook of the summer!!
