Good LE book to read.

I just read this book and thought maybe you guys would like to read it. Although its about the FBI and the HRT, it has a lot of good isight into police and LE work, and the duty behind the badge.
Its called NO HEROES, by Dan Coulson

I read it a few months ago. I found it hard to get through because of the author's attitude. To me he seemed to have a well developed ego, but I could be reading things into it.

Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets by David Simon.

My copy is starting to fall apart, I've read and leafed through it so much.

Two I can recommend are

Cold Zero: Inside the FBI Hostage Rescue Team by Christopher Whitcomb
This is an autobiographical account of a guy who started as a journalist and ended up as a sniper on HRT. He was there for the LA riots, Ruby Ridge and Waco, among others. I picked this one up because it was recommended in another post.

Mindhunter: Inside the FBI's Serial Crime Unit by John E Douglas and Mark Olshaken
This is an autobiography of the guy who became the FBI's lead profiler. I'm about 1/2-way through it now and it's quite good. My wife recommended this one to me after she read it.
