Shoveling the Tide — Ernie Lijoi

Throughout this great land, in all of our cities and towns, the Police Departments consist of good men and women serving the public. These people are the same as any other person and do the best they can with the tools that they are given. Amongst these honorable men and women are a separate and special group of investigators that go beyond the normal everyday job of being a Police Officer or a Detective. These men and women who are the Deep Cover Investigators are agents of the DCI. They do the work that most people refuse to do. They offer their lives in exchange for the satisfaction of uncovering and bringing to justice individuals responsible for the deaths and destruction of thousands through illegal activities. These DCI agents use a deep cover persona to root out the criminal behavior that is hidden in the deepest sewers of the world.
