BEHIND THE BADGE: ANSWERING THE CALL TO SERVE ON AMERICA'S HOMEFRONT

BEHIND THE BADGE: ANSWERING THE CALL TO SERVE ON AMERICA'S HOMEFRONT by Johnny Joey Jones

Johnny Joey Jones takes us behind the scenes to get an understanding about what it means to be a first responder in today's world. Exposing us to a wide variety of jobs in the emergency response field, we get to hear first hand from the men and women about what brought them into the job roles they have chosen and what life looks like day in and day out while on the clock. The good things, the bad things, the immense stresses, the rewards: all are opened up and exposed. Some of the jobs represented in the book are firefighter, game warden, deputy, police sergeant, swat sniper, border patrol, sheriff and more. Reading these stories helps to reinforce a respect for the men and women that are committed each day to going out to serve and protect.

HEADS UP- I did GREEN LIGHT this book with CAUTION. There are several parts that are not easy to read about with what these men and women deal with. The stories are not overly gruesome with detail but situations are tough and death is harsh. There are a couple of stories with language. Two contain f-bombs. One story is rough with language. However, most of the stories are profanity free.
