"Tall Tales of a Street Cop and Beyond " invites readers to walk in the shoes of a law enforcement officer as the author recounts his career from rookie beginnings to retirement and beyond. From serving as a municipal officer to protecting dignitaries as an Executive Protection Specialist, his stories are anything but ordinary. Skipping the mundane calls, Scordato focuses on the moments that left officers saying, " We have to write this stuff down". With wit and candor, he shares the unbelievable side of "routine calls" that the media rarely gets right. Whether responding to chaotic scenes or adapting to life in private security, these tales provide an authentic, front-row seat perspective on the challenges, triumphs, and sheer unpredictability of a life spent protecting others. Prepare to laugh, gasp, and gain newfound respect for those who work behind the badge.
