Summary

In an age of rampant corruption and violence, Richard "Bo" Dietl was the strongest cop on New York's meanest streets -- and he did things his way, no holds barred. In fifteen years he made over 1,400 felony arrests compared to the average cop's career total of 180. But after 75 medals and awards, and countless brushes with death, he broke the city's most notorious case -- the Harlem convent rape -- and faced a blue wall of police department resentments and politics. He knew his time was coming to an end.
The Bo Dietl Story
From his rookie days to the dangerous work on the police decoy unit to his moonlighting as a bodyguard for Arab sheiks, this is the true story of the maverick cop who made the busts, the headlines and the controversies. Now Bo Dietl tells what it's really like inside the raw and deadly world of a big-city cop -- and how one man became a legend from the station house to the streets.

Author Biography

Never content to just take it easy, Bo retired from the NYPD in 1985, to start an investigation and security firm, Beau Dietl Associates (BDA). Specializing in corporate investigations for major international companies, BDA has grown to become one of the largest international agencies with its worldwide headquarters located in the historical News Building at 220 E. 42nd Street in New York City.

While serving as an Executive Producer for his major motion picture One Tough Cop, Bo developed a love for the movie business. Soon after, he started his own production company, How Good Is This Production Company, with his partner Steven Witkoff, the megadeveloper of The Witkoff Group. The Production Company is currently working on several projects.

As a father, Bo has always been deeply concerned about children's issues. Accordingly, Bo has been the driving force behind the computer software product, One Tough Computer Cop, developed in conjunction with Computer Concepts, Corp. of Bohemia, N.Y. This software allows parents to monitor their children's activities on the Internet.

Bo, being an entrepreneur at heart, has now expanded into the real estate industry. Also in partnership with Steven Witkoff, Bo has an ownership interest in several major buildings located in metropolitan areas around the United States.
