His candid memoir chronicles the personal experiences of police work--the tedium of guarding jail inmates, the consternation of shoot\/don't-shoot scenarios, the trauma of being wounded in the line of duty--and offers an insider's view of iconic moments in law enforcement, including the capture of \"Night Stalker\" Richard Ramirez and the 1992 L.A. Riots. Along the way he examines a profession increasingly beleaguered by inimical agendas, administrative cowardice and fiscal restraints.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46474132029591,"sku":"9781476670454","price":1952.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781476670454.jpg?v=1766266157","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-badge-a-gun-an-attitude-25-years-as-a-los-angeles-county-deputy-sheriff-9781476670454","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
