- Hitting That Brick Wall (Erick Wicklund, Kendall Hunt Publishing Company)
- Wicklund, former supervisee: “I remember a time when I had been out for a year and a half or so when a family member of mine had asked me to set up a hit on his former employer. This was something that I was trying to stay away from and not have anything to do with. After I thought about it for a short time, I called Eric [Anderson] and let him know what I had just been asked to do. I told him everything I was asked to do and that I was heading for Utah at that time. He told me to let him know when I got to town and he would have an idea on what we could do to take care of this. … By the time that I had gotten back to Utah, Eric had made some calls and got a task force together to deal with this problem.”

- Fortier, pen name for an officer on a local law enforcement agency’s gang task force: “I also teamed up with a juvenile probation officer [Eric Anderson] and began to accompany him on home visits with any West Side 18th Street gang members that associated with the [Compton Varrio Locos 13] set.
“I wanted to learn as much about them, their associates, and how they were structured as I could. They became part of my main focus for several months.
“I visited one West Side 18th Street Gang member with the juvenile probation officer [Anderson] who he said was one of the single most serious gang members he monitored.
“The juvenile was nicknamed ‘Smoker,’ and the probation officer introduced me to him and his family.
“As a result, I was able to see how he lived, his room, and his interaction with his family and their relationships.
This was really helpful later that summer.”
