Call Me Trooper: The Chronicles of a Michigan State Police Officer

This fusion of criminal investigation, traffic patrol, and undercover drug deals culminates in a potent concoction for anyone interested in police work. The author's career as a uniformed trooper and a narcotics officer have birthed these gripping narratives.For the cynical reader, dozens of supporting documents have been included. These records add unique credibility to the accounts described herein.Call Me Trooper is filled with intense action, intriguing investigations, and uproarious humor. You are guaranteed to laugh, you might cry, but you will definitely be absorbed in these reports from the front lines of law enforcement. These are certainly not the tales of Sherlock and Watson, nor of Bond and Bourne. Yet they are from the same neighborhood, on the non-fiction side of the tracks.Those who are considering a career in this field may find this publication weighty upon the scales of that decision. Be forewarned, after reading this, you may just find yourself standing in line at the police academy.To the men and women who already wear the badge, this work is offered as additional perspective, from another who has stood along the thin blue line. Trauma is a regular part of this calling. PTSD impacts police officers as much as front line military personnel. Those who wear the badge encounter death and very traumatic scenes for years, if not decades. The men and women who are called upon to help in so many types of situations often have a hard time reaching out for help themselves. This is a topic that needs additional light shed upon it. Here the issue is highlighted from a firsthand vantage point. The problem is real, "trauma often begets trauma." - Call Me Trooper, Chapter 13 - Trauma
