Review of The Blue View by Rodney Muterspaw
The Blue View by Rodney Muterspaw is a nonfictional text that unravels the experiences, life and the points of view of the writer in the world of police and beyond. Muterspaw brings in a mindset that Community Policing is not an assignment, rather a philosophy of policing. This creates a more enjoyable working atmosphere while still getting the job done effectively. Change, Community, and transparency are the departments calling cards under his command. He is recognized for Outstanding Attainment by the Ohio Senate as well as a guest of the United States Congress to the Presidential State of the Union. His book, The Blue View shows the secrets and the inner difficulties that sorround policing that the people do not know in society. In one of his submissions he says the hardest thing about being a police officer is that one is tasked with solving everyone’s problems even when one cannot solve one's own. This shows what policing can be for those that do it.
I really enjoy reading this book. It is educative. It unravels secret things about policing. This has helped me to have a new enlightening perspective to what policing actually means to what I used to think it is. I love the way the author Rodney Muterspaw shows battles that the police men and women face that do not show out. For instance, Rodney Muterspaw himself finds it difficult sometimes to marry his job and family together mutually without conflict in one way or the other. I also love the fact that the author carries his readers along, he uses daily familiar words to explain matters rather than using policing jargon or technical terms. The ones he uses, he explains them simply.
While The Blue View is a good book, I think it is too full of many occurrences, it is not straightforward to read as each scenario is different from the other ones. This makes its plot structure complex. The writer keeps switching from one experience to another. The setting of the book is too numerous. And another thing is that the rules of the usage of tenses are not applied properly. For instance, where past tense should be used present tense is being used, etc.
I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. It will be okay if the book can be given to an English language expertise to do professional editing on it. Asides that, I enjoy reading this book and I see it as a book that has been written to enlighten people on what policing is and what is not and what it takes to be one.
I recommend this book for everyone that wants to really know about what it takes to be a police before venture into it. And for everyone generally to know what policing is and what it is not especially in this our contemporary days.
