    About this ebook

    End of Watch Publishing presents "Uniform Decisions: My Life in the LAPD and the North Hollywood Shootout," by Retired LAPD Officer John Caprarelli.

    After a botched robbery at a Bank of America branch in North Hollywood, two robbers armed with fully automatic assault rifles and wearing full body armor fired more than 1,100 rounds as they battled police.

    Eleven officers and two civilians were wounded. The two robbers, Emil Matasareanu and Larry Eugene Phillips Jr., were killed by gunfire.

    Officer John Caprarelli was one of the first officers at the scene. Before a national TV audience, he confronted one of the robbers, provoking a gun battle and exchanging numerous shots before the gunman fell.

    Officer Caprarelli was awarded the LAPD's highest honor, the Medal of Valor, as well as a National Top Cops Award. In this memoir, John gives the reader a rare glimpse into his private life along with vivid recollections of events during his 27 year career with the LAPD culminating with a detailed breakdown of his thoughts and actions during the infamous bank robbery.

      I found this book much easier to read than many memoirs and autobiographies tend to be. Well written, not a lot of extraneous and dry words that lost me. I loved the way John lets the reader into his life and lets us see both the good and boring days, the great teachers and better teachers, everything involved in being the best policeman and person you can be. Although the story leads up to the North Hollywood shoot out, it is so much more as we follow John on his rounds and in his life. Definitely a winner in my books, and I am blessed that he chose me to review this.I received this book free from the author, John Caprarelli through The Bookclub Network for the purpose of reviewing. A positive critique was not required. The opinions stated are my own.
