Walk the Blue Line by James Patterson and Matt Eversmann

5 stars
A collection of short stories told by the ones who risk their lives to serve and protect us. All the stories are eye opening, but some will leave you wondering why people can be so cruel, evil and rude. It also shows that all patrol officers, K9 handlers, sheriffs and detectives are human and have feelings. This book was hard to read due to content so I could only read three or four stories at a time depending on how long the story was.

Taken from the book. I put this last in my review because it needs to be a reminder to many of us, they need our respect.


From the police academy to the precinct, Walk the Blue Line is a first-person tour through the days and nights of American policing.


PROTECT

These men and women are our eyes. Our ears. Our protectors. Those who wear a badge, doing their best to help people.

SERVE

These officers serve their community. They serve their country. They’re in the business of saving lives—even at the risk of their own.

DEFEND

These patrol officers and K9 handlers, sheriffs and detectives, reveal what it’s really like to wear the uniform, to carry the weight of the responsibility they’ve been given.
