Book excerpt: What would you be willing to endure to keep society safe?Out of a deep desire to help others, Neil Loewe joined his hometown police department and internalized everything he experienced. Bloody domestic battery calls, gruesome train accidents, and an aviation disaster all grabbed him by the heart. Fortunately, other moments were funny or heartwarming, but tragedy always lurked just around the corner. After twenty-eight years on the job, he retired and realized how much the experience had changed him. Ride along as he trains at the Chicago Police Academy and heads out on patrol. Witness real-life situations he encountered. Feel what it's like to wear a badge, carry a gun, and shoulder the weight of responsibility that goes with it. This is the highly personal story of one officer's career and his search for healing when it was over. It might open your eyes to what really goes on out there and how it affects those who raise their hand and swear to uphold the Constitution and preserve life and property.
