Beyond the Badge: The Lighter Side of Law Enforcement: "You Just Can't Make This Stuff Up" - Paperback

Law enforcement officers see, hear, and become part of events that the average person can seldom imagine. All the violence, car chases, and investigations aside, officers also encounter people and things that would cause you to slap your forehead and roll your eyes. You would not believe it! These are the stories retired Sheriff Tommy Allen now shares in this book.

In thirty-four years in law enforcement in a rural North Carolina county, twenty-eight as the county's elected sheriff, Sheriff Allen tells these stories, mostly from the first person, as someone who was there. These stories are laugh-out-loud humorous, some touching and some heartwarming and some may bring a tear to your eye. They will allow you to see a more human side of a law enforcement officer and their work.
