Curbchek is the story of a damaged cop, Zach Fortier. Fortier worked in the police department for the city where he grew up. One foot in the world of the cops, courts and legal system; the other in the world of gangs, drugs, thugs and street violence. Where the laws and rules are made by the strongest, the schemers and the most brutal.

Not to mention the cops sent to prison, proving that " anyone is capable of anything given the right circumstances."

For most folks, a trip to the circus is a pretty harmless thing to do – so long as you remain in your seats to enjoy the show. But it wouldn’t be a good idea if you were to get involved with the acts and, for example, tried to help a monkey escape or you got involved with an escaped lion that hates monkeys……And then one of your pals wanted to leave home and join the circus.

StreetCreds is a look inside the world of street gangs and the cops that work them.

I worked the street for many years before I entered the Gang Task Force, joining it with the idea that I could rise to the level of violence of any banger I encountered - a really stupid idea.
