Editor's Note: Many of the police officers listed on the website are former military.

Police-Writers.com is a website dedicated to listing state and local police officers who have authored books. Researched and edited by retired Los Angeles Police Department Lieutenant Raymond E. Foster, the website lists nearly 600 state and local police officers who have written books. There is no charge to be listed on the website; the only rule for inclusion is that the author completed their probationary period with a state or local law enforcement agency.

Each police officer listing contains a brief biography of the author, a listing of their books and a convenient link to their book listings on Amazon.com. The website can be searched by state, agency, police officer and topic of the book. Book topics include tactical, leadership, academic, biography, etc. Moreover, there are special sections such as books written by women police officers and police officers who given an inside account of police corruption.

While the bulk of the current listings are state and local police officers, there are special sections on federal law enforcement officers, police civilians and police officers from other countries who have written books. Agencies from the Department of Homeland Security to the Federal Bureau of Investigation have had sworn personnel author books. Furthermore, international authors come from Australia, Canada, England and India.

The website is constantly updated and continuing to grow in size, scope and purpose. It has blossomed into a platform for police officers to contribute law enforcement related poetry, prayers, short-stories and articles. The articles on the website range from leadership issues to terrorism related. Each article is written by a police officer and focuses on the job of a law enforcement official.
