DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Texas Sheriff takes a fresh, colorful, and insightful look at Texas law enforcement during the decades before 1960. In the first half of the twentieth century, rural Texas was a strange, often violent, and complicated place. Nineteenth-century lifestyles persisted, blood relationships made a difference, and racial apartheid was still rigidly enforced. Citizens expected their county sheriff to uphold local customs as well as state laws. He had to help constituents with their personal problems, which often had little or nothing to do with law enforcement. The rural sheriff served as his county’s “Mr. Fixit,” its resident “good old boy,” and the lord of an intricate rural society. Basing his interpretations on primary sources and extensive interviews, Thad Sitton explores the dual nature of Texas sheriffs, demonstrating their far-reaching power both to do good and to abuse the law.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe deputy sheriff or sheriff of a county often is perceived as the lone officer protecting the citizens of a small town. Country Cop is the riveting story of one such deputy sheriff, Barry Goodson, and his experiences with the Parker County Sheriff’s office in the 1990s and early 2000s in North Texas. Goodson was required to answer any call for service within an area roughly the size of Rhode Island (just under 1000 square miles), where a backup officer could be many miles away, and so he often patrolled and handled calls alone in a county renowned for being a haven for drug manufacturers and dealers. Goodson puts the reader in his patrol car to vicariously share what it is like to be in county law enforcement. He reveals his officer’s skills, which include the ability to identify an offender immediately, to assess that offender’s immediate intent (apparent or not), and to decide on proper action before the offender can unleash his or her attack on that deputy or against the originally intended victim. More often than not, he employed “verbal judo” to de-escalate a situation instead of drawing his gun. Calls from dispatch ranged from a simple need to clear livestock from the highways to shots fired or a 150 mph high-speed auto chase of drug dealers. More often, drug dealer attacks erupted during a perceived normal traffic stop with the offender suddenly producing a weapon, forcing Goodson to use force to subdue the individual. During one domestic violence call Goodson and another officer forced entry to stop a violent father from extreme violence against his wife and two teenage sons, but then Goodson had to intercept the wife as she lunged forward with a pair of long scissors in an attempt to stab the other officer in the back. Country Cop gives the inside story of county law enforcement and will prove a valuable resource for those in criminal justice, those who aspire to a career in law enforcement, and to all who enjoy a good police story.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSince its establishment in 1759, Fauquier County has had 60 individuals appointed or elected Sheriff. This is the Chief Law Enforcement Official in the county. Chapter one of the book highlights several previous Sheriffs including John Quincy Marr who voted against Virginia's succession in April 1861 and ironically two months later became the first Confederate officer killed in the Civil War at the Battle of Fairfax Courthouse. In 2015, there was contested race between 12-year incumbent Charlie Ray Fox and first-time candidate Robert P. Mosier who had 30 years in domestic and international law enforcement. Among his experiences were as a Captain at the Fauquier County Sheriff's Office, as one of the 161 member elite International Police Task Force in Bosnia, as Chief Investigator for the International Justice Mission, a member of the International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs in Iraq, and working for private security firms. The People's Sheriff is a comprehensive analysis of the arduous nine-month campaign to be elected Sheriff. From his announcement on President's Day 2015, dozens of community events, candidate forums, and door-to-door campaigning, Bob Mosier demonstrated why he had the right experiences, passion, temperament, and vision to be the 60th Sheriff of Fauquier County. He was elected on November 3, 2015. As a volunteer coordinator for the campaign, the author had unfettered access to the candidate who ran a virtually flawless campaign It is story worth telling and a compelling read for those interested in county government and local law enforcement.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis account of the struggle to bring law and order to a city rich with gold rush money, at odds with Mexican bandits, and teeming with forty-niners and confederate sympathizers chronicles the chaotic early days of Los Angeles, which boasted the highest homicide rate in America by 1850. From profiles of the frontier-style lawmen hired to stop the initial mayhem to an analysis of the city's modern sheriff's office -- the largest in America -- this book draws comparisons between the uproar of the early days, the racial tensions that erupted during the Watts riots, and the safety issues that preoccupy the police force today.
