Police-Writers.com adds the 86th Police Author

August 13, 2006 (San Dimas, CA) Police-Writers.com, a website dedicated to police officers turned authors, has added its 86th police author, Robert L. Snow. Captain Snow is a 30 year veteran of the Indianapolis Police Department. He has served throughout the ranks as a police officer, sergeant, lieutenant, and captain. As a police executive, he has been the Indianapolis Police Department’s Commander of Planning and Research, the Chief’s Administrative Assistant, Executive Officer and Captain of Detectives. His current assignment is as the Commander of the Homicide.

Robert graduated from Indiana University summa cum laude with degrees in Criminal Justice and Psychology. He has been a publishing writer for well over 20 years, with dozens of articles and short stories in such national magazines as Playboy, Reader’s Digest, LAW & ORDER, Action Digest, Police, and the National Enquirer.

Captain Snow has also written nine books: "The Complete Guide to Personal and Home Safety," "SWAT Teams," "Family Abuse," "Stopping A Stalker," "Terrorists Among Us," "Looking For Carroll Beckwith," "Deadly Cults," "Murder 101," and "Sex Crimes Investigation."

Robert uses his vast experience in policing to enlighten, assist and entertain ordinary citizens in dealing with serious social problems. As an example, his book on cults asks and answers a variety of important questions: “How does a Vampire Cult differ from a Satanic Cult? How do seemingly "normal" or "ordinary" citizens suddenly find themselves committed to a group whose leader promotes criminal activities and isolation from families and friends? What should you do if a loved one becomes indoctrinated by a potentially dangerous cult?” The book focuses on various cults and their often criminal belief systems.

In addition to providing insight into the somewhat off-beat world of cults, Captain Snow’s books offer practical advice and insight. For instance, like “family abuse, stalking is a crime widely misunderstood. While many people see stalkers as simply lovesick people pining away for someone who doesn’t love them, all too often stalkers are actually mentally ill, potentially violent, and occasionally even deadly.” In his book “Stopping a Stalker,” Snow “provides readers with the crucial information they can use to protect themselves and their loved ones from all types of stalkers. He also outlines much-needed advice on how to prevent stalking before it starts, as well as step-by-step guidelines on what readers can do to deter a stalker. Most important, Captain Snow shows readers how to get the legal system on their side, and then use it to bring stalkers to justice.”

Police-Writers.com now lists 86 police authors and their 224 books in six categories.
