Scars of Blue: A Story of Policing, Corruption, Mental Health, and Survival

Meer over het boek

Beginning with a broken little boy, and continuing with the career of a police officer while serving in one of the most violent cities in America, Scars of Blue is more than just another book about policing. It is a story of the heart and soul of the man behind the badge. It is a tale of overcoming abuse as a child, a broken marriage, years of working in extreme violence, corruption of fellow officers, threats by police administrators, and near death at the hands of a suicidal individual. This book is a first-hand account of a life shattered. It is also a story of hope and survival. Overcoming mental health issues, and attempts at suicide from the damage endured. Scars of Blue gives you a look at a life while serving the badge, and the fragile humanity of those who wear it. Raw, honest, and compelling- Chad provides a breathtaking account of what it's like to live in the split second moments a police officer has to act in order save lives, as well as the dreadfulness of having to take a life. He describes in vivid detail what it's like to psychologically drown in the emotions these terrifying moments leave forever upon you.
