4.0 out of 5 stars Behind the Badge, June 26, 2000

This review is from: Behind the Badge: Real Stories from the Police Beat (Paperback)

A realistic look into the life of law enforcement. I felt as though I was riding along in the car, right there through every story. The experiances the author has had is a good "heads-up" for those just starting out or those thinking of becoming involved in law enforcement. You see the good and the bad. As I read, I was laughing out loud one minute, and was taken aback the next. The use of pertant quotes at the end of each chapter leaves something that stays on the mind, and gives food for thought. A definate treat for veterans and rookies alike.

Rocky Warren is one of the great minds in the law enforcement community, and one of the real pioneers in law enforcement training. He has a lot to tell cops, or anyone who wants to know about what our police officers do for us, every day. Strongly recommended!
