Chicago Crime Writer Calls On the Job "both inspiring and tragic"

Chicago historian and crime writer Richard Lindberg, author of To Serve and Collect: Chicago Politics and Police Corruption from the Lager Beer Riot to the Summerdale Scandal, 1855-1960, had the following praise for the upcoming release of On the Job: Behind the Stars of the Chicago Police Department by Daniel P. Smith:

"Told with sensitivity and candor, On the Job: Behind the Stars of the Chicago Police Department is both inspiring and tragic. The story of everyday police officers serving on the front lines reveals the human side of 'the job.' Mr. Smith has weaved a fine narrative on the inner workings of a secret, oath-bound brotherhood, the impact of this 'job' upon their personal lives, and what it really means to be one of “Chicago's Finest.”
