Retired 32-year LAPD gang cop (original Pac-Man from "Colors"). I write and work with others to make them better, safer and happier ... and make them "think".
I was born and raised in LA, entering the Police Academy in 1975. I went to the Gang Unit in 1982 and began teaching others on gangs and it's been over 42 years now. I've written a book entitled "Pac Man Life" and it's available on Amazon ... https://t.co/sfEmN3YyDb
Last week in San Bernardino, Calif … great people equals “great networking “ … thanks to the International Latino Gang Investigators Association (ILGIA). Next training session in August in Las Vegas … see you there ! https://t.co/Kvitup7Ljm
I finally finished my first "fictional novel" about a young man raised in East Los Angeles and his adventures entering the LAPD academy and "growing up on the job" ... I hope you like it and remember ... "It's fiction"

Just got home from presenting at the MGIA - Wisconsin Chapter Fall Gang Conference and when I was done, they gave me a great gift ... a Green Bay Packer jersey with the name "PACMAN" on the back and the number"13" because I am from So Cal. Love you people ... thank you !
@gangprevention Cook - You are truly "one in a million" and no one will ever know how many kids and young adults you have saved or have given "light" to. Those kids know ...🙏
Bless you and keep up the cause ...👍❤️
