The owner of the pseudonym has just shy of two decades experience in law enforcement, a Bachelor of Science degree in Law Enforcement, and seven years of experience teaching college courses in the Criminal Justice curriculum.
The Bachelor degree in Law Enforcement almost shared ‘Major’ status with Journalism. The latter being three credit hours short of major status, Journalism ended up being the minor course of study.
Throughout a law enforcement experience that saw the rank of patrolman, records officer, investigator (which was a detective without the rank, pay, or shiny badge), evidence officer, photo technician, juvenile officer, and sergeant, writing remained a constant freelance hobby. Leonard hasn’t ever had a book published before, but has been a publisher writer for many years.
Caught in a sort of limbo in life and the chosen profession due to several issues; around this time, not many police officers would admit to being avid rock fans. He not only admitted it, but played in a couple of rock bands during this tenure.
Due to that association, because he failed to see the absolute requirement to arrest anyone and everyone who found themselves in violation of some law somewhere, accusations of “You don’t want to arrest your buddies.” flew.
Not being one to back down, this led to a downward spiral. John Mellencamp said it best; “I fight authority – authority always wins.” In the long run, that’s probably right. But if you don’t do what you believe to be the right thing to do at any given time, that’s something you can regret for a long time.
