    About this ebook

    These short stories are based on actual events. The stories were developed from experiences, interviews, and observations of the men and women of law enforcement. It must be noted that every story of humor, thousands of events occur daily in law enforcement that are serious. Many dangers and dilemmas exist in the every day lives of our police officers.
    This book was written to promote as well as inspire humor, which I think all of us as human beings posses. With all the seriousness, trials and tribulations lifes journey brings, it is my belief that if we can find it within us to laugh at others and ourselves, our burdens can truly be lightened. In turn, our lives can be more tolerable, meaningful and enjoyable. We must not take ourselves too seriously, but we must not allow humor to be harmful to others.
    These stories are another side of police work that some may not be totally aware of. It is my hope they will give you a chuckle and offer a better understanding and appreciation of the human side of our dedicated police officers.
