O'Shea started working for the Chicago Police Department in 1968, when he was seventeen years old. Two weeks training in 'Cadet School' and they assigned him to the Vice Control Division, working first in the Narcotics Section and then in the Gambling Unit. He was just supposed to be a clerk but he managed to get involved in more action than the Department would ever have allowed. Over the next thirty years, he got his rookie training on the tough south side then transferred to the Youth Division. O'Shea worked as a School Officer in an inner city school where crime and gang fights were a daily occurrence. While there, he spent as much time discouraging various nicknames that the gang members gave him as he did earning them. His last assignment was as a Foot Patrol Officer on the far north side of the city. His book contains incidents that actually happened to him during his career, wound around a murder mystery.view less
