Routine Patrol

Memoirs of a Small-Town Cop

De: Bart Ringer

Narrado por: Christopher Ringer

So what's it like to be a cop in a small Wyoming town in the heart of flyover country? Is it like Barney Fife's sleepy little Mayberry? Sometimes. Is it like Dirty Harry Callahan's San Francisco? On occasion.

Is it boring? Is it exciting? Is it scary? Is it rewarding? Is it challenging? Is it dangerous? Is it fun? Is it heartbreaking? If you were to ask Bart Ringer these questions, his answer to all of them would be yes.

Bart hired on with the Riverton Police Department in May of 1973 and for the next 37 years served as a patrolman, sergeant, assistant chief, and school resource officer. This audiobook is a collection of some of his experiences as he worked with the people of Riverton. These experiences are by no means unique to him so much as they are a reflection of what any cop on the beat in a small busy Wyoming town will encounter in the course of their career.

So come on and hop in the patrol car as a ride along for a taste of routine patrol!

Fascinating

Policing in a Small Town

I enjoyed the heartfelt stories. Some brought a smile, others a tear. I loved the honesty. Definitely worth a listen.

Enlightening, real, and entertaining

You can feel what the author intended with character voices and intentional cadence while taking on the persona of Bart. Some of these stories were humorous, some curious, and some dead serious. I would recommend this audio book if you enjoy engaging stories and self reflecting humor.

Lovely voice, interesting and entertaining book.

So many books I find are ruined by the voice of the narrator, but not this one. There is no desperate attempt to focus on the story and not be annoyed by the narration as I have found with other audiobooks. Highly recommend this well written and narrated book as it is intriguing, humorous and enlightening.

What law enforcement should always be

This should be base curriculum in academies across the country.
Bart, thankyou for your service, and authorship.
Kripiter, thankyou for narrating this, and your native American accents are spot on!
