Hey Joe..i like your set up..keep up the good work.

JOE, YOUR WEB SITE IS PROGRESSIVELY BECOMING A BIG HIT AMONGST VETERANS AND PUBLIC ET-AL. IT'S ONLY RIGHT THAT THE PEOPLE OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY BECOME AWARE OF THE PRICE OF FREEDOM. WITHOUT OUR MILITARY GIVING ITS ALL OVERSEAS, THESE CONFLICTS COULD BE IN OUR BACKYARD. GOD BLESS YOU AND THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED AND CONTINUE TO SERVE IN OUR MILITARY.

Just happened to stop past your site and one of the first pictures I recognized was Al Torrado and his partner from the 2-4. Last time I saw Al was probably 1970. Ironically in one of the other photo's it also was my old RMP...2148, Sect. J-K. Rode that unit with Officer Mike Botros on many a run. I went on to the 103 and later retired from Hwy 3. Always looking to hear from Cops from back in those days. Great site, thanks for the memories. Stay Safe.

Hey Joe,

Been many years since that photo was taken of you and me and the "M.P.'s" by Broadway Joe, back in May 1972! Great job on your site and congratulations on your publications. Always enjoyed our days on patrol at the old Bus Terminal collaring up and fighting the bad guys. Hope to see some time again.

having visited new york in sep for 8 days and having a nice time . we had a bad experience on the trip. having a camera stolen we purchased a replacment to discover we had been ripped off in fact the transaction was processed twice. so i paid twice for a single item [camera] to make matters worse the model was out of date after being told its the latest model, and to be informed we could reclaim the tax at the airport ,we knew we were conned on discovering , this system was stopped 3years ago. i should report this to the police precinct closest to where we stayed in new york. please advise if i am doing doing the correct thing. many thanks t j quinn

What an incredible story!!!

I hope you have no regrets. Everything that happens to us makes us who we are. Eventhough we still have not met face to face, I know you are a good man.

One of these days, I hope we will finally get to meet each other. I wish you good health and continued success with your book.

This is a wonderful site and I am glad that my friend sent it to me (Gloria Collins). I hope that they keep it going because it is informative of people we have touched. It's important for you to know that where Frank got killed I volunteered to protect the children by keeping the traffic safe for all, his mother Gloria was so thankful, and Deputy Inspector Aubry at the time was so greatful.

God Bless you Frank you will always be in my heart and prays.

Just recently at an 68th Precinct Medal Night, and Chief Joseph Fox, told all the new APO's about this story he also was extremely proud and will never forget what I did to help Gloria heal some of her sorrow.

God Bless All

Looks great. Can't wait until I can get more time to view it more thoroughly.

Great site!

Thanks for the comment on my site Joe. I'm certain that you too are a General in the Army of the Lord of Hosts. Keep the books coming. You inspire rookie authors like myself to keep going. Stay close to God. Stay safe, and have a powerful year!

Very interesting web site. Rick Rescorla new my uncle whose name I was given. A true Cornishman

I went to high school with Frank Collins; he was in the band Confusion, which I had seen perform during Murrow's Battle of the Bands in 1990/1991.

We weren't close, but we were cool, and I will always consider him a compadre, and a good peep. We were bound together in friendship by Mandie, and by Kerry Kelly, who also left us too soon.

It's still hard to believe he's gone. I still think about him, and will never forget him.

Congratulations on your book .

Joe,
Nice website. Wish you luck with your next book. It was nice talking to you yesterday.
Stay Safe!

Great site, Joe! I always enjoy meeting fellow cops--especially those who have interesting stories to tell. Once again, thanks for listening to The Watering Hole show about my book EXTREME COP: CHICAGO PD and for your compliments.

Wonderful book, a true example of a hero for all.
Thank you for your example, godbless, Fidelis Ad Mortem.

great page! SSgt Caudill told me to check it out...I know him as "Bea."
My ex was in Vietnam, although that was way before I met him.
But for those of us who lived in that time period, we will never forget Vietnam, whether we were there or not. I recently met a lady who told me her first husband was killed in Vietnam.
Thank you for your service to our country. Angels smile down on you and your brothers.

Looking forward to reading your book. Thanks again for calling in to the radio show, I really enjoyed your perspective and input.
I love your website.

I am a kidnap victm who escaped and survived. I have tremendous respect for police officers as well as those who have fought for our freedom on foreign soil. The detectives investigating my case in Charlotte,NC in 1970 advised that I retain a private attorney to prosecute. The perpetrators are still in prison. I speak at the Citizens Parole Accountability Committee in Charlotte and will be speaking at a national Missing Persons Conference in March. I salute you for your invaluable contribution to justice.

Let's face it, cops can do anything we put our minds to!

Hello Joe, I was finally able to come in and sign your guest book!
Best of luck in NYC.....

Hi Joe,
Read TRUE BLUE which I enjoyed very much. It is too bad of some of the circumstances that you have endured. You were a damn good cop. It makes me angry that the NYPD did not appreciate your energetic qualities. This book TRUE BLUE is a success story! Looking forward to read your next book.

THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR PAST.

Al, thanks for buying my book and your support with what went down back in 1983. You are correct to write that the special state prosecutors that committed gross misconduct in handling my case should have been disbarred. But they, too, have a code of silense when it comes to protecting one of their own. But since the Durham N.C. Duke Lacrosse players incident where DA Mike Funk was disbarred for gross misconduct, things will change for the best, I hope. Charlie Joe Hynes who as you read in the book came to my rescue when he became the new special state prosecutor, and who is now Brooklyn DA, will attest to the fact that I got screwed by the enemy within.

Hi Joe
Read your book, met w/u on Monday night at meeting. I also was a heavy hitter, also had some run in's w/IAD and FIAU. However, I came out OK. I find that your experience is at the least one of which I would not want to have gone through. I knew Charlie Hynes personally, from the Brooklyn Courts. I wonder why these prosceuters were never charled criminally or even disbarred. We will talk again.

Al (79Pct, Brooklyn Warrants, 102Pct)







ke again.

I'll read it this week and give you my comments.

just finished your new book joe . a real page turner .great you got it published and maybe opened some eye`s. great job. i guess "TENACITY" is a good descriptive of your quest to get this published. hold on to your belief`s joe. bobby.

Wow! What a site, I'm sharing this with my fellow Proud Puerto Rican brothers in blue, both retired and active. I also want you to know that the story on Sgt.Modesto Cartagena has inspired me and has pushed me to pursue my Combat Cross or Medal of Valor that was never awarded to me because the NYPD stated that they never received a request for Departmental recognition from a 1993 shooting in which I used my weapon and stopped an armed perp. from killing my partner, from making a widow, from making orphans. Question is,where do I begin? If I ever write a book I should title it, "The Unsung Blue Hero". Sgt. Cartegena is definitely an unsung hero and his story has shown me it's never too late to be righfully recognized.

Excellent job on this site. God Bless You!!!

I will purchase you book soon. Loved the cover I worked in the 88 from 70 to 74. Sgt at arms Brooklyn/staten island 10-13
