September 1, 2006 (San Dimas, CA) Police-Writers.com, a website dedicated to police officers turned authors, has added its 97th police author, Richard Nable. Nable was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. In 1987, Richard Nable graduated from the University of Richmond, Virginia with a bachelor’s degree in biology. After college, Richard returned to his hometown area and joined the Fulton County Police Department. Although a full-time patrol officer, Richard also provides training to recruit and veteran officers in the areas of law, search and seizure, use of force and tactics. He is a certified firearms instructor and driving instructor.
There are lots of names for law violators – suspects, subjects, perps, defendants, as so on. But in Richard’s first book, “Searching for Evil….and the Perfect Donut,” the criminals all go by the name of evil. The work, he says, “refers to an action in and of itself and is not meant as a commentary on any person’s worth as a human being. … People, who are essentially good, can in fact do things that are evil. For some, evil is all they know.” Although his approach can be philosophical—quoting, for example, Heraclitus—Nable tells stories that have the bite of reality. His pursuit of Evil usually winds up on foot, often with bullets ricocheting round him.
His follow-up work, Confronting Evil, is a compilation of tales from the streets woven together by this veteran police officer. With his unique wit and style he entertains and educates with all the drama and excitement that can only come from real life experiences. In addition, this book will introduce you to colorful metaphors like "The Evil Drug Fairy" and "The Big Red Hump" as well as concepts like "The Deadly Force Spectrum" and "The Four Ps of Reaction Dynamics".
Police-Writers.com now lists 97 police authors and their 303 books in six categories.
