Read this thread last night... ordered the book on the kindle and just finished it up.

Interesting read thats for sure. It's unbelievable what these people did in a short period of time with even less help from the "higher  ups"

 :tup:  Recommend   :tup:


Thanks for spending the last years of your career doing the right things even through all the trial  and tribulations. I think most in your position would have went about their daily routine until time was up.   :tup:

Thanks for your support and kind words.  Would you please do me a favor and write a review on Amazon?

Todd

Review done!   :tup:

Thanks

Thanks.  Todd

I want real names, Todd. I'm actually stuck in the book because it's so frustrating reading about the disfunction of our DFW. We knew about it to some extent, but to read about it from a former LE is tough to see.

As far as real names, do you mean on the WDFW employees or the suspects?
I did use real names for all of the WDFW employees.  The federal agents involved asked for me not to use their real names, so I respected their wishes.  Once the cases are done on the suspects, I will be more than happy to use their real names to.

And for those of you who have read the book, you will interested to know that apparently Mike Cenci was just promoted back to Deputy Chief by the new Chief (Chief Crown).  So Cenci demoted from Deputy Chief to Captain for almost a month before the new chief (a close friend of Cenci's) put him right back as DC.  Also; Cenci will apparently be in charge of SIU (Detectives), so expect to see some really good geoduck cases coming in the future!!  After all "Nobody gives a @#$# about deer and elk".....right?

Imagine the health of our herds if this illegal trade could be stopped!

Better yet - it would be nice to see how healthy 'AND NUMEROUS' our wild ungulates would be if our corrupt government (with the help of our wildlife department) would not kill them all off with predators.
I'm not coming against your book or your work. I'm sure you did a good job but the animals that have been slaughtered by cougars and wolves cannot even come close to what the poachers and wasters do.
I have not read the book yet but I love reading the 'busting' operations.

Great read. Would be interested in a list of D.A.'s that didn't follow through with charges in a timely manner. Would hate to vote for the wrong guy in Nov. or worst yet if one of them ran for attorney general or superior court judge in the future.

King County is the worst.  Yakima not too far behind, but may come through.  I will keep all of you posted
