Based on the recollections of a veteran lawman and his loving wife, Branded by the Badge gives the reader an up-close look at the law enforcement profession using a collection of fanciful and inspirational tales that describe not only what it is like to do the type of things that local officers do every day but also what it feels like to have an encounter with ghosts, demons, a flying saucer and an armed robber and bring several regional programs into existence including one that led to a significant reduction in crime.
The novel also explores the challenges that are often faced by the spouses of peace officers including not only how (if they live in the community that he serves) the both of them will probably be branded by his badge and expected to be at the beck and call of the people in their town 24-7 but also how their family will be marked and shunned by both their neighbors and acquantances.
Finally, the authors pull back the curtain on many of the law enforcement's trade secrets including who actually gets to decide when force needs to be used, the role that politics plays in the police profession, and how a piece of equipment that is worn by most lawmen can lead to a career-ending injury. So whether you are thinking about pinning on a badge and you want a realistic job preview, or if you just want to learn what life is like for peace officers and their loved ones Branded by the Badge is the book for you.
