The path to "On The Job": Murder, Reflection and Where TV Cop Shows Fail

Author, journalist and lifelong Chicagoan Daniel P. Smith guides readers into the closed-door society that is the Chicago Police Department. Sharing never-before-told stories of the tolls the job exacts on the officers and their lives while interweaving a discussion of Chicago's criminal landscape, police department culture, and history, Smith discusses the personal experiences that led him to pen "On the Job: Behind the Stars of the Chicago Police Department."
