    About this ebook

    This book is based on the actual and true events that happened in both the professional and personal lives of two Milwaukee County Wisconsin law enforcement officers. What they experienced while on duty on a hot summers night adversely changed the course of their entire professional, personal and family lives. These types of experiences are neither rare nor isolated; they could happen to anyone but especially to a disproportionate number of men and women who choose to serve as first responders in the professional field of public safety and National Security; for example, the brave men and women who serve in the military units of the United States of America. Incidents of mental illnesses can occur due to stress and worry after experiencing so many cases of inhumanity and brutality, but for some reason these incidents are dealt with covertly and are kept almost top secret where possible.

    Joseph L. Butts

    Joseph L. Butts is a retired detective who served thirty years with the Milwaukee County Wisconsin Sheriff’s Department. Butts worked jail duty, court duty, motorcycle patrol and squad patrol duties prior to his twenty-year career working plain clothes and full detective duties for violent crimes. He spent many hours in the academy training on how to control scenes and situations where mental illness could be an issue. After retiring from police work, Butts accepted a position as a counsellor for battered and homeless women and their children for a social service agency in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Butts gained knowledge that he never knew existed during the eight years he worked with these young women and their children. Butts was also the CEO of an alarm installation and monitoring company and did security consultation work for the Milwaukee Public School System and the Milwaukee Housing Authority. Butts also served many years as a member of the independent hearing board on disciplining and suspensions for the Milwaukee Public School System in the State of Wisconsin. Joseph L. Butts is also the author of a 265 page paperback “Crime and Other Critical Social Ills…As Seen From Behind The Badge”. This book is non fiction and tells of the many experiences, both gratifying and painful during his 30 year career as a law enforcement officer serving the people of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin.
