{"product_id":"2940157713096","title":"Felons, Flames and Ambulance Rides","description":"In 1995, New York State Police Captain Roger Fulton had an idea. He knew from personal experience that police officers really liked telling stories. He also knew that a lot of civilians really liked writing about what police officers did. So, why not get them together? The result was the Police Writers Club that included both officers and writers and offered an annual conference and writing competition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFive years later, a group of the club's members published CopTales 2000, an anthology that included the works of contest winners and submissions by other members. Soon, the club began to attract not just police officers but aspiring writers from a wide variety of public safety affiliations, as well as civilians who wrote in a wide variety of genres.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 2007, to better reflect the composition of its membership, the club changed its name to the Public Safety Writers Association (PSWA), and is now a national organization providing its membership with an annual writing conference, a writing competition and multiple opportunities to collaborate, creating the stories all love to tell. Felons, Flames \u0026amp; Ambulance Rides: Stories by and about America's Public Safety Heroes is an anthology containing the works of members of PSWA.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor more information about the Public Safety Writers Association, visit www.policewriter.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTable of Contents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCommentary Tear Down these Walls Ron Leonard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTears on the Wall Joseph B.
