Book Description
"Most of us have seen fictional law enforcement officers on television and wondered, "What really happens during a call or investigation?" Edward B. Hayes III, a fourth-generation law enforcement officer, offers you an inside look. Hayes spent twenty-nine years in law enforcement and continues the legacies set by his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. In this personal account of life in the "cop shop," Hayes looks at 140 incidents that he encountered throughout his career. From assaults to home invasions to undercover work, Hayes has seen it all! Hayes retired from the Johnson County Kansas Sheriff's Department after twenty-nine years in law enforcement. This included a three-year assignment as a federal agent with the DEA and the Justice Department. Hayes also spent seven years participating in undercover investigations. He is now retired but continues to write about law enforcement and its long history."--Back cover
