About the Author DONNA BROWN

Editorial Reviews

"BEHIND AND BEYOND THE BADGE is a fast and most interesting read, especially for someone not directly in the field of law enforcement but works with college students of various ages and backgrounds who aspire to become sworn law enforcement officers. It really struck home with me. Donna Brown presents men and women who have committed themselves to careers ‘in the trenches’ as first responders and clearly shows some of the good, the bad and the ugly of the profession and the important work they do every day. It is an important book, and I hope to have each of my seniors read it as they graduate and embark upon their careers in law enforcement. BEHIND AND BEYOND THE BADGE has a strong message and should be required reading in every Criminal Justice program.”

“Retired Homicide Sergeant Donna Brown is a master storyteller. Her book is a captivating read about first responders who share their personal thoughts about working in high-stress positions. If you want to really understand what it’s like to do their jobs, know someone who is thinking about a career as a first responder, or a family member of a first responder, then this book is a must-read.”

“In Volume II of her award-winning BEHIND AND BEYOND THE BADGE series, Donna Brown once again takes us behind the scenes into the lives of first responders and their families. The no-nonsense approach of her writing lets the individuals’ stories speak for themselves, and they leave indelible impressions on the reader’s mind. Brown’s book covers a wide range of experiences: the day-to-day operations of a sheriff’s department aviation unit, the intensity of dispatch operations, gut-wrenching experiences in highway patrol, and a mother’s grief at the loss of her police sergeant son are just a few of the stories she includes. This book should be required reading for law enforcement academies and criminology departments, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to understand what the ‘thin blue line’ really means.”
