The Chronicles of a Detective: Lieutenant Joachim "Jack" Meurer's Autobiography (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798894273778)

Detective Lieutenant J. Meurer was born in Germany. He Immigrated to the United States in December 1951. Going through all the academics, on the 27th day of August 1979, he received a bachelor of science degree in criminal justice administration while he was a detective in the Wayne New Jersey Police Department.

The stories in this book are true experiences he participated in. The ones with children were heartbreaking having children like them at times.

The Ninja Postal slaughter was one of the most brutal homicides that he had ever investigated; the blood and carnage were surreal. Dealing with the bombs that were supposedly planted on the bodies brought the stress level extremely high in investigating this crime. Plus, this one also came close to home.

Some of the investigations he was involved in were broadcast on local or national TV, like The Geraldo Rivera Show, the Jamaican Jamboree in Oakland where he and two of his men on his SWAT team were called to a park called Pleasure Land to help put down a mass shooting between a thousand and two thousand Jamaicans which, at times, made the hair on the back of their heads stand up not knowing if they were going to make it home that night.
