In a time when law enforcement faces negativity from society and the press, Karen Solomon has taken a stand in favor of the men and women in blue. Through a compilation of stories, you will get to know the people we often don’t see because we are blinded by the badge and uniform they wear. These officers opened their hearts and revealed emotions they often can’t express while they are working.

These are some of the thought-provoking stories that will change the way you think about police: Danny, a rookie forced to fire his gun; Stan, an officer who knows the value of respecting others; Derek, a father who has to chose between his own safety and the life of a child; the parents of Jeremy Henwood, an officer killed simply for wearing a uniform. By reading this book, you will see a world of people you have forgotten existed--the names, faces, and families that don’t make the news.

Praise for Hearts Beneath the Badge

Karen Solomon uses beautifully written stories to capture the essence of the human spirit within the profession, dispelling the notion that law enforcement officers are soulless beings hidden behind a uniform and badge. Solomon offers candid glimpses of the joys and sorrows that those of us in the profession know as very real. She humanizes the people behind the badge, emphasizing those desirable qualities that so many in the profession possess. Hearts Beneath the Badge is a must read for anyone wondering what it is truly like for law enforcement families.” - Barry M. Thomas, Executive Board Member, FBI National Academy Associates

“These are tales of triumph and tragedy stories of happiness and heartbreak. Each chapter is a gritty glimpse into the reality of law enforcement. Each account reveals more truth about cops than mainstream or social media has been able to - or even been willing to - tell.” - Doug Wyllie, Editor In Chief, PoliceOne

“In a world where every policeman's failure is publicly condemned and more common successes are hardly mentioned, it's important that Hearts Beneath the Badge win acclaim.Its chapters celebrate good decisions, heroic acts, and moreover, a sense of ethics and morality that go beyond the job description.It returns the humanity to the profession and, in so doing, creates a powerful collection of stories that should be used to counter any generalities about the profession.” – D. Donovan, Senior eBook Reviewer, Midwest Book Reviews
