Ram One: True Crime Stories of Working Undercover and Breaking Down Doors on the SWAT Team

From chasing down dangerous felons on the gang unit to meticulously executing undercover operations in narcotics, Paul Milone has seen crimes and criminals from a perspective most cops never do.

He infiltrated drug rings, purchased weapons from murderers, and even sold machine guns to cartel members, all while walking a tightrope between duty and danger. As an undercover cop, he looked like a criminal, played the role, and hid in plain sight as he targeted the bad guys.

But Milone's story doesn't stop there. He also spent sixteen years on the busiest SWAT team in the Midwest, where he participated in a high-stakes hostage rescue mission, provided security for presidential visits, held off angry crowds during riots, and served countless warrants-no-knock warrants where Milone, as Ram One, was tasked with getting the team in quickly. He busted down more than a thousand doors in his career.
