Welcome to Writer's Detective!
This site is devoted to helping writers with the cop stuff in crime fiction. My name is Adam and I'm a police detective in California.
Each week, I send an email of curated content for writers of crime fiction. I call it the Writer's Detective APB and it's completely free.

"As an author with no formal police training, I knew nothing about police procedure. Researching on my own could only take me so far. Adam put my mind at ease and gave detailed answers to questions concerning my protagonist, a big-city homicide detective. He even threw in a couple of ideas I hadn't thought of! Police weaponry, vehicles, crime scene procedures, making an arrest, police lingo, working with agencies like the FBI, the emotional impact of a violent crime scene - any question I had, Adam got me the straight dope. Thanks to Adam's expertise, my novel went from good to kick-ass!"
