From the rigors of training to the effects that this career can have on the officer, this book will enlighten the reader whether involved in this field or not.Many unknown burdens of wearing the badge are covered from the authors own experiences. Although shocking, the realities of law enforcement are revealed from the "drivers seat". The main thrust of this book is the challenge that officers faceeach day; however, a message of hope encircles the final chapter. Individuals seeking a career in law enforcement will find the content educational, while veteran officers will see that they are not alone in their daily battles.
From the Author
This book come straight from the heart.
This book is a collection of thoughts, experiences, and ideas from over tens years as a law enforcement officer. While being somewhat graphic at times, I give you some unknown problems that the officers themselves face. I also include a section which is a diary of some prominent calls that I have been on in the past. I think that this text is both educational for future officers, and will give veteran officers a chance to hear what is going on with other officers in their chosen profession.

Find a different reviewer!, 31 Oct 2006
By Paula K. Freeman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Living Behind the Shield: A Modern Warrior's Path to Bravehood (Paperback)
For an author to give his own work 5 stars, along with writing a glowing review of his self-published vanity book, is a tacky and tasteless maneuver. Where are the real reviews from the real readers?Stick to writing Ninja novelettes, Brian Voncannon. And, stop reviewing your own work. It's annoying and unprofessional.

5.0 out of 5 stars
From the Author, 27 Dec 2000
By Brian E. Voncannon - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Living Behind the Shield: A Modern Warrior's Path to Bravehood (Paperback)
Living Behind the Shield is not just another "cop" book in my opinion. If it were, I probably would not have written it! This book gives you a very different angle while viewing the law enforcement officer both on and off the job. While not geographically specific, I do use North Carolina as an example when explaining what it takes to become an officer. Otherwise, the text is educational for future or veteran officers everywhere. You will get a brief diary of some calls that I have participated in that left an imprint in my mind. I also give you a glimpse as to what can and does happen in our lives even when the badge comes off at the end of the shift.
Finally, an unexpected message of hope encircles the final chapter that I felt all could benefit from. If you ever wondered what makes us officers "tick", then this book is for you!
