Product Description
Cops are the people who see and hear it all. They work at one of the world's most dangerous jobs, but it's also one of the most entertaining. When their lives are at risk and even when they aren't cops encounter constant weirdness and stupidity in human behavior. The Funniest Cop Stories Ever collects the strangest, most amusing stories about stupid crooks, bungled crimes, and station-house banter. A true look at what life is like behind the badge, the tales in The Funniest Cop Stories Ever were collected by real-life ex-New York City policeman Scott Baker and coauthor Tom Philbin. Anecdotes are told by the real-life cops who experienced them and include: A foot chase after a dwarf who karate-kicked his girlfriend's door and assaulted her while wearing a tuxedo and carrying a violin case. A beggar who ended people's pay phone calls so he could demand their extra spare change. A narcotics bust on a guy who claimed the crack cocaine and his pants didn't belong to him.

I gave this book to my Dad as a Christmas Gift. He told me that he really liked the book. As a retired Policeman, he said that he could relate to the stories, and even has a few of his own. Based on his feedback, I recommend it.
Fun, fast read January 29, 2008

The stories are broken up in a way that would make it great reading while you are waiting -- at an airport or dr. office -- each story only takes a minute or two to read.
This was a funny, fast read. Some of the stories were better than others, but on the whole, I really enjoyed this book.
 Bigoted stories April 2, 2007

I got this book as a birthday present for my 14-year-old sister, who wants to be a cop. Thumbing through it at home before wrapping it, I found that the majority of the stories are based on making fun of people of other races (anyone non-white is a target), people with disabilities (how funny it is to refer to someone as "retardo"), etc etc. Trash. I returned it and will be writing a letter to the publisher.

This book was so funny. I could picture all the wacky things the officer's were doing. I was laughing out loud.
Humor in (Police) Uniform! December 24, 2006

Readers who enjoyed the "Dumb Criminals" series of books will want to pick up this book by NYPD cop Scott Baker. Baker relates over 100 stories of dumb crooks, bungled crimes, cop humor and close encounters of the weird kind. Some stories are amusing; others laugh-out-loud funny; still others will leave you shaking your head with disbelief at how incredibly stupid criminals can be.
Overpriced at $9.95 but still worth a look.
