    Named “America’s Top Cop” by Esquire magazine, John F. Timoney has served as First Deputy Commissioner for the New York Police Department, Police Commissioner for the City of Philadelphia, and Chief of Police for the City of Miami. An immigrant from Dublin, Ireland, Timoney joined the New York Police Department, serving as a Narcotics Specialist in the South Bronx and rising to become the youngest four-star chief in the history of the NYPD. At the NYPD, he helped develop CompStat, a crime analysis and police management process, which he also implemented in Philadelphia to great success—crime decreased in all categories, especially homicide. Beat Cop to Top Cop is a riveting ride through Timoney’s career and offers advice on how police departments can make lower crime rates last.
