TOPIC: "What can cops really tell you? What are the rights and
wrongs in portraying Law Enforcement Officers sharing information with amateurs and others." Do you have a detective
who is not in the police department but who needs a source to get information critical to your plot? Don't we all!
It's a situation found in many crime novels. But what is really practical in terms of sharing information? When
could they or would they and when would they absolutely not do it? JIM DOHERTY, author of Just the Facts:
True Tales of Cops and Criminals will address these issues at our January SinCC meeting
A
