Young Policemen Facing Constant Danger, Strife, Conflict And Uneasy Community Relations Are The Core Elements In Beat Cop CPOP 1986 By Ex-NYPD Officer Vincent Casale


Casale's new book presents a fictional account of the day to day experience of a New York City policeman assigned to the CPOP Unit, written by an NYPD police officer who was a part of the program in the 1980's.

From Dragnet to Mod Squad, NYPD Blue to Miami Vice, and from Jump Street to Law And Order, the film industry has for many decades tried to give us an inside look at how the police and their respective departments function. Shoot-em-up scenarios and wild car chases aside, these attempts are certainly entertaining, but seldom have movies or television shows managed to give us an unvarnished, in-your-face look inside the minds of the brave men and women who put their lives on the line daily to maintain order and the rule of law.

Facing endless danger, enduring conflict daily, and learning empathy or staying devoid of feeling, all the while while dealing with problems such as divorce, drinking and machismo sounds like the plot line of a great movie. It is instead subject dealt with in Beat Cop CPOP 1986 by ex-NYPD Officer Vincent Casale. Who better to show readers what it's really like than someone who lived the life day to day for decades?

CPOP-1986 is the tale of young New York City policeman assigned to the newly implemented Community Patrol Officers Program. The concept of CPOP was to advance police /community relations by putting the cop back on the beat, door to door, store to store. The male protagonists are flawed men, using unnecessary cynicism and hedonistic night-life adventures to shield their emotions. The female lead, Ann Caputo, is born wired to believe she can make a difference in a professional world dominated by male ego. Will that stay true when she can’t protect herself from a violent assault and the guilt that engulfs her?

Beat Cop has received rave reviews. One reviewer said, "The best compliment that i can give "CPOP 1986" is that the way it was so skillfully written by it's author Vincent Casale that it allowed me to WATCH this book, as opposed to just READING this book !! Make the purchase, you will not be disappointed." Another stated, "A great read written by retired NYPD Officer. Interesting, moving and realistic."

In 'Beat Cop CPOP 1986', Vincent Casale has drawn deeply on his personal experience, having been one of the first NYPD officers assigned to the unit.

Neither a detective novel nor a crime novel, Beat Cop CPOP-1986 is a revealing tale of young New York City policeman assigned to the newly implemented Community Patrol Officers Program. The concept of CPOP was to advance police /community relations by putting the cop back on the beat, door to door, store to store.

Casale is also the author of The Coparazzi, a memoir of his experience with celebrities while assigned to the NYPD's Movie and TV Unit from 1989 - 1992. During those years he worked on set with hundreds of celebrities, including Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, Robin Williams, Hallee Berry, Cindy Crawford and many more.

The Coparazzi has received rave reviews from readers and reviewers alike. Ed Dee, retired NYPD Lieutenant stated, "This is not just another cop book. No way. In this well written and fast paced story Vincent Casale takes the reader behind the yellow tape of scores of movies and tv shows shot on the streets of NYC. From his unique perspective Casale shows the reader how it’s done and we see virtually every major actor in unguarded, off camera, and entirely human moments. The author writes with the infectious enthusiasm of a movie fan, but he sees with the clear eyes of a cop. A great combination, a great read.”

Vincent Casale is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at vcarazzi@outlook.com. Both books are available at online book retailers. Beat Cop CPOP 1986 is also available from Van Velser Press. More information is available at his website at https://thecoparazzi538162347.wordpress.com/.

About Vincent Casale:

Vincent Casale is a retired NYC police officer with 20 years of service. From the years 1989 through 1992 he worked in NYPD’s elite Movie-TV Unit. During that time he was privy to the exciting world of movie making on the streets of New York. A life-long movie fan, he was happy to be a small part of “Hollywood on the Hudson”.

Police Community Relations Program, CPOP, Takes Center Stage In New NYPD Fiction Novel By Vincent Casale, Beat Cop CPOP 1986


Casale's new book presents a fictional account of the day to day experience of a New York City policeman assigned to the CPOP Unit, written by an NYPD police officer who was a part of the program in the 1980's.

The phrase 'police/community relations' holds a different meaning today than the same phrase as it was used in the 1980's. Today, that phrase has somewhat of a pessimistic feel to it, due to current events that are played out across every form of media we have, most with headlines designed to provide shock value. Granted the relationship between police and the communities they serve is less than perfect today, but this was not always so.

The original Community Patrol Officer Program allowed "beat cops" to get to know their local communities from within, and would often be responsible for stopping crimes before they happened. The focus was on relationships and communication. Police officers were able to move beyond being seen as uniforms, and instead became integral parts of these local communities. This community-based mindset, versus an "us vs them" posture, greatly changed the way people saw and interacted with the NYPD.

In 'Beat Cop CPOP 1986', Vincent Casale has drawn deeply on his personal experience, having been one of the first NYPD officers assigned to the unit.

Neither a detective novel nor a crime novel, Beat Cop CPOP-1986 is a revealing tale of young New York City policeman assigned to the newly implemented Community Patrol Officers Program. The concept of CPOP was to advance police /community relations by putting the cop back on the beat, door to door, store to store. The male protagonists are flawed men, using unnecessary cynicism and hedonistic night-life adventures to shield their emotions. The female lead, Ann Caputo, is born wired to believe she can make a difference in a professional world dominated by male ego. Will that stay true when she can’t protect herself from a violent assault and the guilt that engulfs her?

Frank Colleri and his policemen cohorts are a study in the psychology of young cops facing danger, enduring conflict, and learning empathy or staying devoid of feeling. They own issues of divorce, drinking, and machismo, all while witnessing the worst in life.

When the Police Commissioner learns of sexual assaults occurring in his daughter’s neighborhood, he orders all CPOP members to help detectives with individual cases, by converging on and aiding crime victims.

"This book was years in the making and will take many a reader back to the 1980s and a glimpse into the psyche of young cops," Casale stated. "It is not a detective novel or chasing bad guys adventure. It is simply a year in the life of young policemen assigned to the NYPD Cpop Unit.

"Beat Cop of course, was initially written for entertainment in the way of Pulp Fiction. Interestingly enough, the current state of affairs regarding police and community interactions is also a theme in my book. There is an insight to the young policemen who travel from their Long Island suburban homes to work in the so-called multi-cultured mine-fields of New York City.People and places with various cultural backgrounds they had never encountered. CPOP was formed for this purpose 30 years ago and the elements of that program still apply today in an attempt to put a band-aid on police and community relations.”

Casale is also the author of The Coparazzi, a memoir of his experience with celebrities while assigned to the NYPD's Movie and TV Unit from 1989 - 1992. During those years he worked on set with hundreds of celebrities, including Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, Robin Williams, Hallee Berry, Cindy Crawford and many more.

Author And Former Cop Vincent Casale Announces New Fiction Novel About NYPD Police Officers And Community Relations, Beat Cop CPOP 1986

Author Tony Attanasio Announces Free Ebook Download Of Samples From His Most Popular Reality Based Action Novels

Attanasio's reality based action novels are based on his personal experiences with the NYPD, the DEA and the CIA

Author and Islamic Terrorism Consultant Tony Attanasio has announced the release of a free e-book sampler with excerpts from three of his most popular works: 'A Silent Star', 'The Iranian Connection: Code Word Orchid' and 'Kenny O'.

Unlike many other authors who write reality based action novels, Tony Attanasio writes from direct personal experience. Tony was seriously injured in a line-of-duty incident that ended his career with NYPD. He subsequently served ten years with the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), where he served as an Intelligence specialist. During his tenure he served in Miami, Europe and New York City. Both in Miami, Florida, and Europe, he served as liaison with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and traveled to CIA Headquarters in Langley, Virginia, where he presented a course on International Organized Crime.

'A Silent Star': Subsequent to the attack on the USS Cole in October of 2000, British intelligence reports pinpointed bin Laden's location in a safe house outside of Abyan, Yemen. A top secret project, code named, Perfect Justice, was carried out by a team of highly-trained CIA operatives, two male and two female, in a commando-style raid. It was to be a Black operation, one that would be conducted in absolute secrecy under the cover of official deniability. If unsuccessful, it would in effect, never be acknowledged by the CIA, or any other governmental organization, to have ever taken place.

'The Iranian Connection': Relates the actions of Iranian and Hezbollah operatives who planned to detonate a nuclear device in New York City in order to weaken The United States’ support for Israel in post September 11 months. Initially US Federal law enforcement assets work at odds with one another. Eventually the groups work together to thwart the explosion. The storyline highlights the non-cooperation among law enforcement agencies in the United States that made the Office of Homeland Security a reality.

'Kenny O': During the 1970s New York City was a Mecca for heroin and cocaine usage with addiction a major health concern. The majority of these drugs was trafficked and sold by traditional organized crime families such as the Gambino, Bonnano and Genovese LCN clans. One location where these groups planned, trafficked and sold these drugs, affectionately called Boy for heroin and Girl for cocaine, was in the Bronx. A special unit was put together to gather information on these groups and subsequently dismantle their networks. This unit of NYPD, under the auspices of the Organized Crime Control Bureau was able to accomplish this through many hard working hours and the assistance of an informant - KENNY O.

Attanasio's real world experience flavors every page of his works. Tony has had a long career in investigating organized crime, money laundering, and radical Islam. His previous two books have received national acclaim and five star reviews. Tony has consulted for Robert DiNiro in establishing authenticity for his film ‘Ronan’.

Tony Attanasio is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at pts@bellsouth.net.

Palestinians Misrepresented In American Media - Terror Expert And Consultant Tony Attanasio Issues Statement

Attanasio is the author of a one true to life story and two historically based fiction books dealing with crime and terrorism. As an expert on terrorism, he believes much of the furor around the Palestinians has been created by American media outlets

When one reads articles in the US Media that depict Palestinians living in abject poverty, suffering harassment constantly by the Israelis, the astute reader soon learns that this information is not always accurate.  It doesn’t really take much research to bring to light the readily available history and current events that give a solid rebuttal to these claims.

"The Obama Administration," Attanasio stated, "recently gave the Palestinian Authority (PA) 450 million dollars. This is in addition to 950 million dollars that has been given outright to the PA over the past few years.  Several Counter Terrorism experts have stated that a good deal of this funding finds its way into private bank accounts and five star hotels on the Gaza beach front. Unfortunately, some of this funding finds its way to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad for weaponry such as rockets and mortars. The US is one of the main contributors to the PA treasury.  Also and never reported is the support received by the PA directly from Israel."

"Recently, a DNA testing took place to determine the origins of Palestinians. Simply, they are Arabs. So with this said where is the assistance from the Arab world in supporting and creating the State of Palestine? Both Israel and the US are not opposed to its formation. The assistance we have seen and documented from the Arab world is the payments up to $50,000 dollars to the families of Shaeed (suicide bombers.) These funds have come mainly from rich Saudis and Hezbollah, which is based in nearby Lebanon."

"So why this treatment of brother Arabs? Simply put, they are not well liked or welcomed in most Arab lands. Many Arab countries actually have created laws and rulings to keep the Palestinian populations in their land from achieving both population growth and in many cases citizenship. Let’s look at some of these rulings that control the Palestinian populations:

-Not allowed to become citizens of Arab countries, in accordance with Arab League Decree 1547 for 1959, "in order to preserve the Palestinian entity and Palestinian identity."

-Even in Jordan they can no longer become citizens. (There have been some exceptions: Palestinian Christians in Lebanon in the 1950s, Palestinians born from Egyptian mothers in 2011.)

-Palestinians face severe travel restrictions throughout the Arab world. They do not receive passports and their travel documents are only accepted by a few countries.

-Palestinians cannot vote or run for office in national elections in Arab nations

-Children born to Palestinians do not get citizenship in their host countries, violating Article 7 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

In the full statement on my site I break this down by country, including Jordan, Lebanon, Kuwait, Iraq, Qatar and Syria.”

"Recently a poll taken among Palestinians indicate that no matter how badly they are treated by their brother Arabs....it is America they hate more. This was obvious on 9/11/01, when Palestinians took to the streets of Gaza and the West bank dancing, rejoicing and giving out candy in celebration of the horrific attack that killed over 3000 people of which many were of Arab descent."

Tony Attanasio is a terrorism consultant and an accomplished writer who writes from direct personal experience. Tony was seriously injured in a line-of-duty incident that ended his career with NYPD. He subsequently served ten years with the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), where he served as an Intelligence specialist. During his tenure he served in Miami, Europe and New York City. Both in Miami, Florida, and Europe, he served as liaison with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and traveled to CIA Headquarters in Langley, Virginia, where he presented a course on International Organized Crime.  Tony is currently a member of the NYPD Shield - counter terrorism group

Attanasio writes from real world experience. Tony has had a long career in investigating organized crime, money laundering, and radical Islam. His books have received national acclaim and five star reviews. Tony has consulted for Robert DiNiro in establishing authenticity for his film ‘Ronan’.

"If Arab nations," Attanasio continued, "would support their brother Palestinians in achieving a separate State of their own, they would then be able to resolve the issues that they have put into place in their respective countries relative to the Palestinian populations. But it seems that radical Islam wants very much for the present Palestinian situation to continue. They want the world to see Palestinians, as one would view an open wound with Israel causing a mass infection and preventing a cure. "

"The so called 4th estate badly needs to return to factual reporting of news events as they have occurred and stop creating news events that serve their political whim at that given moment."

US Military In Australia: Acclaimed Author And Islamic Terrorism Consultant Tony Attanasio Releases Statement On Weakening US Military

According to sources quoted in the media, the US military presence in Northern Australia means US Marines are returning to their role as 'ambassadors'. Attanasio believes that may not be enough

Brig. Gen. Richard Simcock, deputy commander of Marine Corps Forces Pacific recently stated that the Australian government has opened the door for a force of 1,100 US Marines to rotate in Darwin in Australia's Northern Territory beginning next summer.  According to other news sources Marine Maj. Maurice Brown said the gradual end of the war in Afghanistan means Marines are going back to traditional roles as 'ambassadors' and coming into the Pacific to take advantage of training opportunities.

"Why Australia - are there other unforeseen and underlying motives?" asked Attanasio, "as we know that President Obama did state some time back that the US needs to make 'a presence' in the Pacific area. Is the truth behind this move based on China’s decades long ambition to take Taiwan back - a country they consider a province of mainland China? Is this so called strategic move based on the ranting and raves of North Korea? Or all of the above?"

"China," Attanasio continued, "has stated that by 2020, they are doubling their fleet and that includes naval infantry. Will they be concerned with a battalion of Marines stationed in the northern territories of Australia? Russia has beefed up the Russian military and has broken several agreements with the US and NATO. What about the behemoth North Korean and Iranian military?"

"President Obama recently cut Army brigades and mothballed Navy ships. The longtime plan is to cut the size of the service by 80,000. We do not have the military we once had prior to 2009. This could go downhill and fast. It would take just one incident. Obviously our "token" forces do not strike fear into the heart of our so-called enemies. Remember World War I? One bullet lead to a world conflict. Remember World War II? Dunkirk? The old adage that history repeats itself?  Comparing events taking place today on our shaky globe reminds me of 1939 – an evil storm followed."

“Another problem arises - if we were thrown into another world conflict, the Draft would have to return. 40% of our young draft age males are physically and mentally unable to fit the role of a soldier. Another 25% stated that they would refuse to go.  This to the embarrassment of the American people would further danger our existing military as well as place the United States in harm's way. This is not the youth of the Great generation. This is the ‘what is good for me’ generation."

Tony Attanasio is a terrorism consultant and an accomplished writer who writes from direct personal experience. Tony was seriously injured in a line-of-duty incident that ended his career with NYPD. He subsequently served ten years with the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), where he served as an Intelligence specialist. During his tenure he served in Miami, Europe and New York City. Both in Miami, Florida, and Europe, he served as liaison with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and traveled to CIA Headquarters in Langley, Virginia, where he presented a course on International Organized Crime.  Tony is currently a member of the NYPD Shield - counter terrorism group

Attanasio writes from real world experience. Tony has had a long career in investigating organized crime, money laundering, and radical Islam. His books have received national acclaim and five star reviews. Tony has consulted for Robert DiNiro in establishing authenticity for his film ‘Ronan’. He is currently teaching at a major SE Florida college and is currently researching his next book, ‘The Silent Crescent’ (The focus is on women in Islam.)

“All branches of our military,” Attanasio continued, “have been cut to the bone. Does President Obama believe that the presence of a few thousand Marines in Australia, or for that matter 300 Marines on the Syrian/Jordanian border, will strike fear into the hearts of the enemy? Iran has countered this move with 4000 Revolutionary Guard and Me. Putin has sent 600 Russian Marines on two warships to the coastal waters of Syria. It should be obvious to President Obama that neither Iran nor Russia wants a radical Sunni presence in Syria. Both are not happy with President Obama's continued support of the Sunni rebels, particularly al-Nusra; the al -Qaeda faction."

Acclaimed Florida Author And Islamic Terrorism Consultant Tony Attanasio Releases New Novel, 'The Iranian Connection: Code Word Orchid'

The new novel details the actions of Iranian and Hezbollah operatives who hope to detonate a nuclear device in NYC. It also highlights events that lead to the creation of the Office of Homeland Security

Tony Attanasio has released his reality based suspense novel, “The Iranian Connection: Code Word Orchid”. The new novel is an internationally-flavored novel which relates the actions of Iranian and Hezbollah operatives who planned in great detail to detonate a nuclear device in New York City in order to weaken The United States’ support for Israel in post September 11 months, as well as greatly disrupt the US economy.  US Federal law enforcement assets work at odds with, and then in concert with, one another to foil the deadly explosion. The story develops characters on both sides of the plot and highlights the now infamous non-cooperation among law enforcement agencies in the United States that made the Office of Homeland Security a reality.

Tony Attanasio is an accomplished writer who writes from direct personal experience. Tony was seriously injured in a line-of-duty incident that ended his career with NYPD. He subsequently served ten years with the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), where he served as an Intelligence specialist.

Both in Miami, Florida, and Europe, he served as liaison with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and traveled to CIA Headquarters in Langley, Virginia, where he presented a course on International Organized Crime. Tony is currently a member of the NYPD Shield - counter terrorism group

“I wrote this book, Attanasio stated, based on experiences while serving in the EU. I saw firsthand the zeal that was displayed by the Islamists and how the Palestinians were used as pawns in these violent radical endeavors. I also learned quickly just who our friends were.....And who were not...... A close family member (not injured) at a meeting in the Pentagon on 9/11/01, really woke me up pertaining to the threat of Global Jihad.”

Attanasio writes from real world experience. Tony has had a long career in investigating organized crime, money laundering, and radical Islam - obvious in this, his 3rd book. His previous two books have received national acclaim and five star reviews. Tony has consulted for Robert DiNiro in establishing authenticity for his film ‘Ronan’.
