Author Description

"You can't become closely acquainted with anything from afar or through the lenses of other people. I needed to get in a car, patrol the streets, see with my own eyes the interactions that have been polarizing for as long as I've been alive." When sports marketing guru Brandon Steiner wants to know something, he goes to the source. For The Ride-Alongs, he called upon the New York Police Department and rode along with officers across three different boroughs over a six-month period. He spoke with community leaders and went behind the scenes at the NYPD Academy and the Crime Lab. In The Ride-Alongs, Brandon shares everything his investigation uncovered: the complete story - the drama, the danger, and the details.
