    Armed and Dangerous

    For the purpose of this class, you asked us to read the book Armed and Dangerous: Memoirs of a Chicago Policewoman by Gina Gallo. I’ll be honest and admit that at first the book didn’t sound all too appealing, but it turned out to be an interesting and enjoyable read. Many of the chapters were highly interesting, taking an inside look at the duties of a Chicago police officer. Chapters dealt with illegal drugs, shady characters, brutal crimes, and other situations that police are part of every day. Gallo’s recollection of events is far more dramatic that that of other officers, but that is probably why the book was so enjoyable. Throughout the book the author takes readers on a roller coaster ride of emotion while she portrays the life of a police woman and recounts some of her days while working in the Chicago Police Department. Mrs. Gallo captured the art of telling cop stories as only one who has been in those situations can. She manages to place you in the middle of the scene and by doing so, the book provides a compelling glimpse at inner city policing.…
