The View From Behind a Badge

by Don Stratton

A sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant, but always honest, first person memoir of a police career that has lasted for over 50 years. It is a rare view from inside the police department of a small city, with stories of incidents and events told from the unique viewpoint of someone who was there, who worked at all levels within the department, and who saw it all. It chronicles many of the changes that have taken place in the 50 year period, both within the police agency and in the public in general. This book is historically themed, and will be of interest to people who live in, or have close knowledge of, the city of Lima, Ohio.

[Ron · Rating 4 out of 5]

This a good book to read to help understand some of the things that police officers are dealing with. It is entertaining
and you learn so much about other cultures. I really think it helps you to understand why an officer did what thay did.
I hope this book helps at least one person to feel what we do.
Last but not least there are some very funny parts that can be learned from too.
