LATEST BOOK – BLIND DEMOCRACY – IS AVAILABLE TO ORDER NOW
In America, law enforcement officers swear by oath to uphold the United States Constitution and Rule of Law, regardless of race, ethnicity, or skin color. The Constitution represents the supreme law of the land. Trust, integrity, and respect are fundamental values required to ensure accountability, transparency, and fairness in performing duties and enforcing applicable laws and policies.
As a Black American, my law enforcement career resulted in challenging lessons learned: What to do, How to do, and What not to do. Perhaps, many of my peers, locally and abroad, experienced similar lessons. I served 16 years as a Memphis police officer and 28 years as a deputy sheriff in Shelby County, Tennessee, earning the rank of Captain. I learned that character, integrity, and intellect are winning attributes for success in professional law enforcement. The same holds true for success in any lawful profession.
John Q. Public often misunderstands the complex realities of professional policing, notably misguided citizens who rush to judgment with misplaced emotions or false assumptions. Many law enforcement officers are misguided, too. I speak with the weapon of truth, unabashed by what others think, even though it might sound like hogwash to those comfortable denying or misrepresenting the truth. -- DTY
