Publisher's summary

Ruffian is the story of a cooperation between the Savannah Chatham Metropolitan Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to combat violent crime in the City of Savannah, Georgia. They worked on a domestic counter insurgency operation that targeted two gangs from two different neighborhoods that were wreaking havoc in the city.

Award-winning author Kevin Grogan takes you on the street as a plain-clothed detective and candidly answers questions about law enforcement reform and violent crime that is plaguing the United States. Nothing is off-limits in this extremely candid look at policing in America today.

Behind the scenes, policing at its best!

Author, Kevin Grogan delivers an extremely interesting account of the behind the scenes workings, politics and intelligence gathering in the Savannah Georgia Police Department. This was a great follow up book to his first one, 'Black Sheep, White Cop: Savannah EXPOsed'
Narrator Adetunji Fasoranti presents it perfectly as well.
I took the long way home to make sure I finished it all in 1 listen!

CAPTIVATING!!!

I've always had an interest in how detectives, cops, FBI, or any other law enforcement, solve crimes. I think the profiling that's done in this book is ingenious to fighting tough crimes in Savannah, Georgia. This book is fascinating, sad at times but thankfully these crimes are coming up against the toughest of the tough and smartest of the smart in Kevin Grogan! 💪🏾

Fascinating but sobering

An amazing book! Really intriguing for anyone interested in true crimes stories and a look inside the SCMPD. A little on the depressing side, certainly a sobering read, but it makes you glad there are people like Kevin Grogan out there trying to bring justice to the world. Despite the melancholy nature of the book, the author brings a certain warmth to the conversational tone of the book and even a little bit of welcome humor from time to time. Great work Kevin! Two thumbs up. 👍🏾👍🏾
