My Bridge Over Troubled Waters - Paperback

It's in the back of every officer's mind: the bullet that could end his or her life. They take the risk and are heroes for it-but can you imagine doing this at a time when bulletproof vests were not standard? In the early 80s Hawkins and his partner chased down a suspect in Atlantic City NJ only to end up in a shoot out. This is hardly out of the ordinary-except Hawkins wasn't wearing a vest because it was not yet part of operations policy. His partner was wearing a vest, but he died and Hawkins lived. This is an autobiography unlike any you've ever read before. The details of Wesley Hawkins's personal history channel emotions and reactions you can hardly anticipate. Read the inside story of real politics and police work as Hawkins shares the miracle of his survival that he knows only God is responsible for.
