WOODBURY — The Gloucester County Prosecutor has directed police chiefs in the county to adopt a standardized practice to be used any time a police vehicle responds to a call, so as to “ensure the safety of all citizens, residents and police officers.”

Under the policy, once a patrol vehicle has been dispatched, the driver would be required to use emergency warning devices, namely sirens and flashing lights, if it exceeds the posted speed limit by 20 mph or more.

I’m in the process of reading a book written by my old friend, Jim Phillips. It’s called “Camden, Four Decades on the Streets of America’s Toughest City.”

I’ll be writing more about the book later, but it’s one of those books you can’t put down. It’s not very flattering to the current police administration and there are rumors orders have come down threatening discipline for any Camden cop caught with a copy in his patrol car.

Jim wrote the book in vignettes, meaning it’s not a chronological narrative, not a story that’s starts there and ends here.

Jim’s book has inspired me to pick up work on my own book.

I started it back in 2013. I’d write  every afternoon during the week, Then life interrupted that and, in July of that year, with about 20,000 words of first draft writing done, I stopped.

I’ve been trying to start again for some time.

Many years ago, a woman friend declared that I had lived a sordid life. I embraced that notion wholeheartedly. The working title of my book is “My Sordid Life: The Unauthorized Autobiography.” Think about that.
