Sobre IBD

This book is based on my experiences and observations during a most exasperating and frustrating time as a newly hired Director at Bronx Hospital.Sometimes it takes the uninitiated to see the truth. I do not believe that the shock evoked in me upon my arrival as a police lieutenant in the Four-One Precinct in 1971 will ever be duplicated. But this came damn close. At Bronx Hospital, it wasn’t the shock of Fort Apache’s violence and mayhem. This time, it was in many ways a much more sinister jolt. Most disturbingly, there was a laissez-fair attitude for the routine and outrageous conduct of the staff, the cover-ups, the medical errors and yes, criminal activity, i.e., assaults, sexual abuse, fraud, reckless endangerment and so much more.

  • Cop Shows
    TOM WALKER
    After twenty-two years working in precincts like Fort Apache in the Bronx, I decided to write some stories that relate to my experiences in these locations. The stories are unique in that they deal with subjects and material that are not common to police procedurals. For example, “The King Cole Trio” is about three black officers working in Harlem in the ’40s, ’50s, and ’60s. T...
