Description

The true story of a nineteen-year-old kid, twice rejected by the Dallas Police Department, who went on to serve 48 years on the force. From alien abductions to “zombies” at City Hall, from gallows humor to moments that test the soul, these stories reveal the bizarre, hilarious, and sometimes macabre side of police work. Step into the patrol car and ride along on calls—some ridiculous, some disturbing, but all unforgettable. One veteran cop shares what motivates officers, what wears them down, and why humor is often the only shield against the darkness.Across nearly five decades, Sergeant Dwaine Sides witnessed the best and worst of human nature. These stories pull back the curtain on the strange coincidences, split-second decisions, and raw humanity that shape a life in blue. Equal parts outrageous and insightful, this memoir invites you on a journey you won’t soon forget. Read more

Special people dealing with societies special people.
Format: Paperback
The author has a unique writing style. He provides the reader with an intimate side as well as a professional side of a dedicated law enforcement officer. He shows that even with the best intentions, thing can go wrong. A fun, fast read that was hard to put down. Law enforcement officers are definitely very special individuals who choose to deal with the special people that society fears or wants to ignore; not only in the field, but in the administrative ranks. I am glad that he survived both to write this entertaining book. FG ... show more

“Hey Sarge!” Great Read!
Format: Kindle
”Hey Sarge!” is a wonderful book! It feels like a ride-a-long in the passenger seat of a squad car with a real police officer guiding you through the cities’ detritus and calamities. Every story is told as if he is explaining the call to you, just the two of you, sharing a moment. All “Tales from the Bizarre Sides of Dallas” will strike a chord with anyone that served in uniform, ever thought about doing so, or is merely curious about the daily calls our police officers answer. Experience the many years of service, first hand, from a forty-eight (48) year veteran police sergeant who has graciously allowed everyone to see the police world as he experienced it daily. “Hey Sarge,” Great Read! ... show more
