-- Frank Borelli, Editor, Officer.com "John's book reminds us there are women in this profession taking their turn 'Walking the Point.'"
-- Terry G. Hillard, Retired Superintendent Chicago Police Department Q: What led you to pursue a career in law enforcement?
A: I thought about it a great deal while I was serving in the Army. After I got out, I took the test and was subsequently called for training. I liked the idea of police work because it was a challenge, and it was exciting. Frankly, I couldn't imagine working in an office from 9 - 5 every day. Q: What types of crimes did you investigate as an agent?
A: Mostly violent crimes-narcotics, outlaw motorcycle gangs, organized crime. I worked several undercover assignments, dealing with drugs and public corruption. I became a member of the SWAT team and was a sniper. I served as the principle firearms instructor in the Detroit Division for a while. While assigned to the FBI Academy at Quantico, Virginia, I served as an instructor in tactics, physical training, and street survival. Q: In your many years in law enforcement, what insights do you have into the criminal mind that you've used in your novels?
A: Having interviewed hundreds of suspects, I have a fairly good idea of where they were coming from, their mindset and mentality, I was able to understand their rationale for committing crimes, and thus give them the impression that I was sympathetic to their cause. That approach often allowed me to create a bond that caused them to divulge information about their crime. Understanding what goes through the minds of criminals allowed me to develop informants, who are often the key to solving a crime.
