Offbeat

<p>Cops everywhere have their stories.</p> <p>The retired police officers of the Oxnard Police Department are no exception.</p> <p>Like the stories told by officers anywhere Oxnard PD's stories too seem to grow each time they are retold until few can offer an iron-clad guarantee that they are today the way the stories actually unfolded then. Some officers however offer an iron-clad guarantee that these stories reflect their current memory.</p> <p><i>Offbeat</i> is a collection of their stories. In another sense they represent the stories of all police departments everywhere for it is these stories that provide the perspective necessary for sanity in at times an insane world.</p> <p><i>Offbeat</i> is the humor behind the badge.</p>
