OverviewIn BEHIND AND BEYOND THE BADGE, Volume 2, award-winning author Donna Brown takes you to those places that few see. First responders have opened their hearts and shared what it's truly like to do their jobs, their favorite parts of the job and their worst, and the impact it has on their families. They are human just like you, and each faces all that life has to offer, good and bad. The difference between their jobs and most other professions is that a first responder might not come home from work at the end of the day, a hard reality their families face. Each has lost a coworker who died in the line of duty, someone who many have also been a friend, or even a family member, because while others run from danger, they run to it. They do this for you. So now, open the cover, and meet some of these amazing people!

Table of ContentsReviewsBEHIND AND BEYOND THE BADGE is a fast and most interesting read, especially for someone not directly in the field of law enforcement but works with college students of various ages and backgrounds who aspire to become sworn law enforcement officers. It really struck home with me. Donna Brown presents men and women who have committed themselves to careers 'in the trenches' as first responders and clearly shows some of the good, the bad and the ugly of the profession and the important work they do every day. It is an important book, and I hope to have each of my seniors read it as they graduate and embark upon their careers in law enforcement. BEHIND AND BEYOND THE BADGE has a strong message and should be required reading in every Criminal Justice program. DAVID PERSKY, PH.D., J.D. Professor of Criminal Justice Saint Leo University Retired Homicide Sergeant Donna Brown is a master storyteller. Her book is a captivating read about first responders who share their personal thoughts about working in high-stress positions. If you want to really understand what it's like to do their jobs, know someone who is thinking about a career as a first responder, or a family member of a first responder, then this book is a must-read. FLOY TURNER FDLE Special Agent (Retired) Best-Selling Author In Volume II of her award-winning BEHIND AND BEYOND THE BADGE series, Donna Brown once again takes us behind the scenes into the lives of first responders and their families. The no-nonsense approach of her writing lets the individuals' stories speak for themselves, and they leave indelible impressions on the reader's mind. Brown's book covers a wide range of experiences: the day-to-day operations of a sheriff's department aviation unit, the intensity of dispatch operations, gut-wrenching experiences in highway patrol, and a mother's grief at the loss of her police sergeant son are just a few of the stories she includes. This book should be required reading for law enforcement academies and criminology departments, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to understand what the 'thin blue line' really means. A. E.
