About the Author

Pat McCarthy had one of the most amazing careers in law enforcement history. His twenty-six years in law enforcement included working a high-crime south side district, and special ops handling unique assignments such as a sniper on the SWAT Team of the Chicago Police Department.

His experiences also included five years as an undercover cop in Chicago's Gang Crimes Unit. McCarthy worked eleven years as a special federal investigator with a top-secret security clearance with the FBI, deputized by the U.S. Marshals Service to work on three separate federal task forces.

Asian Organized Crime and Asian Gangs were McCarthy's specialty for six years. He was a two-term president of The International Association of Asian Crime Investigators, working cases all across the U.S. and Canada.

McCarthy developed and teaches “Street Crimes,” the fastest growing law enforcement training seminar in the country, and produced the Street Cop DVD training series. Both can be viewed at StreetCrimes.com.
