Lessons in Law Enforcement Paul Main

If not polished regularly, brass tarnishes quickly. The same can be said for integrity, it must be constantly guarded. This book will show examples of the variables that come into play throughout a career in law enforcement. The author's experiences contain valuable pointers that will serve as a guide to all those who want to be a success in the profession.

The author's sense of humor is as unique as the several situations he encounteres. He describes the formula and application of common sense and life's knowledge; both necessary to becoming an effective police officer. The author's encounters with other officers and methods of interacting leave the reader with valuable insight to identify, confront and overcome egotistical personalities. This book will, in a small way, alert the aspiring officers to be aware of all that surrounds them in uniform. Few officers are great, many mediocre and some shouldn't be there at all. The real challenge is to be the best one can be and above all, be true to one's self. An officer's role is to encourage voluntary compliance with the law using minimum action. Respect begets respect.

"All good things come to he who remembers and waits. Police Officers are not paid to finish second, therefore, some things are worth waiting for".
