Everyday Stories with Glenn Topping

I will never forget some advice given to me by one of my FTOs. “Write it down. Write something down everyday and at then end of your career you’ll have a best-selling novel. You’ll never have to work again.” Unfortunately, my rookie self wasn’t smart enough to take him up on his advice. I never wrote it down and because of that so many stories have slipped through the cracks. Glenn Topping is someone who did write those things down and because of that he has gone on to write six novels. His first book “Look, a Quarter” details his journey from the military police to joining a Florida Sheriff’s department to finally retiring and becoming a novelist. Glenn has a unique perspective of law enforcement having being involved at so many levels and in so many specialties over his more than 30-year career. And on top of all that, he was on the first season of COPS.
