Pro Bono Publico offers an inside look at the realities of police work in the 21st Century from Patrol Units to Community Policing to Homicide Investigations. Captain Houle puts you behind the badge for an insider's view from the raw and intense moments to the sometimes humorous world of being a cop. This is not a glossed-over academic approach to modern policing. This touches on the realities of what officers face on the street and the political pressures faced by command staff from the ever-changing personalities of the political structure. Technology has significantly impacted the efficiencies and response times of law enforcement. But the true nature of this job will always be the face-to-face contact officers have with the general public and all the varieties of personalities, intentional acts, and often psychotic disabilities they encounter.
