I read this book from cover to cover the day I received it. Sgt. Driver reminded me why I became a cop in the first place. Truly inspirational!

If I never read another book that's fine with me. I haven't cried since I was in Elementary School, until now. I way underestimated how heavy a badge is to wear. I will never again look at a cop, or a police car, and not think about what lies ahead for them. I started reading this book in the afternoon and finally went to sleep when I saw Sgt. Driver's face on the back cover. It was that enjoyable. Keep up the good work sir!

Going against our current world of political correctness, this is one book that doesn't pull any punches and tells it like it is ... This is a true accounting of how a cop lives his life and tells of the personal sacrifices he makes to "serve and protect" those in his community... No Hollywood version here... Simply one highly-decorated officer's facts of what he and his brotherhood face everyday... From capturing drunk drivers, to helping the elderly, to nearly being beaten or shot to death - If you don't have respect for the police and the things they do now- You will after you read this book...

As a retired police officer, and author, I found Life behind the badge to bring back vivid memories of my work as a peace officer. Doug has done a fine job of putting the reader "on scene."

Life Behind The Badge is a great read. This book details every emotion that a Police Officer feels, but just cant interpret. Srgt. Driver is a veteran cop now, and has been through it all, yes even in "small town America." If you are looking for a book about real police work, and not some book that was not even written by a cop; that has no idea what's its really like, this is your book! Srgt. Driver great job, and be safe!
