Looking for Trouble

An incredible true story of extraordinary courage and grit! Working undercover, conducting covert operations in the shadows, leading an FBI Homicide Task Force, and investigating drug smugglers, drug kingpins, murderers, and serial rapists would be the last thing you would expect from an introvert.. But, as destiny would have it, Maurice was that guy. Maurice had spent his entire life trying to avoid trouble. However, life changed dramatically when Maurice joined the PD. Maurice faced the most dangerous and horrific close encounters imaginable while patrolling Baltimore City and Prince George's County.

During Maurice's 20-year career, he memorialized his cinematic transformation from a rookie patrolman to a relentless, battle-hardened police veteran. While mastering the art of "Looking for Trouble," Maurice soared through the ranks and was promoted to Lieutenant. The police veteran graphically describes his action-packed career. Maurice was forced to examine and reconcile his upbringing as he operated in the shadows immersing himself in a lifestyle that he spent his entire life trying to avoid. While battling some of the most dangerous criminals in the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan area, another battle emerged and expanded beyond the streets.

Some of his fiercest battles extended to the halls of the Criminal Investigations Division and the Narcotics Enforcement Division. Life began to lose its luster, and Maurice believed his career was in free fall. However, a crisis shook the community. Against the odds, Maurice emerged as the lead investigator of an FBI Safe Streets Homicide Task Force, creating the biggest challenge of his career. Maurice was confronted with the same drug dealer whom he clashed with while a patrol officer. The drug dealer ascended to become a Kingpin while Maurice became a detective. Maurice worked frantically to stop the killings, trying to nab the most dangerous and elusive Drug Kingpin in county history, suspected of 12 murders.

The book reveals the incredible psychological complexities of police work and the emotional devastation that crime has on members of our community.
