Overview

There is so much more to a police officer's badge, to any badge that all first responders wear. But that's what the world sees-a badge. What's behind and beyond that badge is what people need to know-the person. In BEHIND AND BEYOND THE BADGE, Volume III, 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 toughest, career-defining moments, 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. Included are law enforcement officers, firefighters, EMS personnel, 911 dispatchers, crime scene/forensic technicians, and victim advocates. All what Donna Brown calls her Village of First Responders. This series is perfect for those who are thinking about becoming a first responder, those who have family or friends who are first responders, those who want to know more and for those who are suspect of the law enforcement profession. This book offers a unique and thought provoking perspective from those who do the job.

BEHIND 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. HOWE Author of the Amazon Best-selling Larry Macklin Mysteries Series
