Thank you to the Philadelphia Area Transit, and the AA County, Southern Division police officers who took time to answer my questions and to the officers who took me with them on drive alongs. The experience was both fun and insightful!

To my earliest readers, Nette Boliver, Diana Campe, Kyrah Drasheff, and Nadine Schneider. You rock, ladies! I can’t thank you enough for the time and thoughtfulness each of you put into reading this book and giving me valuable feedback.

I am also hugely thankful to my wonderful editor, Sandra Ray, for your patience and the many rounds of edits and advice. You’re the best!

And to my husband—whose belief in me never waivers—thank you, always.
