If you had asked me when I was in high school or even in college if I wanted to be a cop, I would have told “Not on your life.” It was not on my radar anywhere.I have always had respect for what they did or maybe a fear which kind of parlayed into respect. I always knew it was in my best interest to say “yes, officer” and “no, officer” when pulled over for something I did wrong, plus I knew I would not be pulled over unless I deserved it.I grew up in a military family. My dad’s career was in the Air Force, so my brother and I learned to respect a uniformed person, including law enforcement and firefighters. Both of us were expected to go into the military, which we did. It was never said, but the inferences were always there, plus we grew up with the famous quote by President “Don’t ask what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” Military service was a foregone conclusion.
I absolutely loved this book! It’s an edge of your seat ride along with a former Tacoma Police Officer, back in the day when things weren’t so PC and cops were able to be cops. I highly recommend!
