Release Date: July 15, 2015
Retired Police Sergeant Ernie Louttit takes you back to the streets of Saskatoon in his second book, a street cop’s view of the realities of dealing with prostitutes, street gangs, drunk drivers, and other offenders. He gives people who are rarely exposed to crime a view of what policing “at the sharp end” is like, while acknowledging the struggles of those who are forced by circumstance to live in high-crime areas. The first point of contact for persons with mental illness and addictions is often the police, and Louttit highlights how changes in handling these individuals must occur. Other topics addressed in this fast-paced book include drugs and drug dealing, murder, changes in policing, and leadership. Since retiring from the Saskatoon Police Service, Ernie Louttit has been an invited speaker to groups, classes at every level of education, educators, police trainees, and more across Canada. He lives in Saskatoon with his wife, Christine, and their four grown children.
