CJ Evolution / May 5th / Episode 99 / Author and Cop Adam Plantinga "400 Things Cops Should Know."

Hello and welcome back to episode 99. In this episode Patrick talks with San Francisco Police Sgt. Adam Plantinga. Adam is the author of the successful book " 400 Things Cops Should Know: Street-Smart lessons from a Veteran Patrolman." Adam hols a B.A. in English with with a second major in Criminology/Law Studies from Marquette University, where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa and Magna Cum Laude in 1995. Adam's life lessons cover everything from the 90/10 rule (90% of the people are decent in ways that count. 10% not so much), and why real cops hate police hats? The book is an unusual hybrid - the die-hard public servant who has lofty ideas about fighting crime, and also the witty English major who relishes recounting the humorous absurdities of life on patrol.  A great interview. You can find the book here: https://www.amazon.com/400-Things-Cops-Know-Street-Smart/dp/1610352173/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1493996290&sr=8-1&keywords=400+things+cops+know+street-smart+lessons+from+a+veteran+patrolman https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-plantinga-b6049aa3/   You cand find this and other episodes at www.cjevolution.net Patrick
