I just finished "The NYPD Tapes" by Graham Rayman. It's a book about NYPD whistleblower Adrian Schoolcraft, who secretly recorded and exposed NYPD police misconduct related to its overreliance on COMSTAT, a statistical device originally created to aid the NYPD in using its resources but over time became a tool for implementing quotas and underreporting and under-investigating more serious crimes to make overall crime figures look better than they really were.
Schoolcraft, this generation's version of Frank Serpico, went through hell for a few years including a 6-day stay, against his will, in the psych ward of a local hospital due to the strongarmed tactics of the NYPD.
