Chauncey Mckinney

When the public sees a uniformed police officer, they see-in most cases-an individual who is a highly trained, brave, and dedicated public servant. What catches the eye is the shiny side of the badge and uniform. What is not so evident to the casual observer is the dark side of the badge, hidden behind the careful visage of justice and honor. The dark side of the badge is closest to the heart and is seldom seen by civilians. The dark side of the badge is symbolic of the endless pain and suffering officers witness and have personally experienced. The officer carries with him the never-ending incidents and images of man's inhumanity to his fellow man, haunting him like a ghost down every dark alley. Violent incidents leave physical and mental scars as police officers play witness to the human drama. They are confronted by personal risk while wearing the badge. Chauncey McKinney is a fictional account of just one police officer trying to make a positive difference while facing the dangers and harsh conditions associated with law enforcement. Although this book is fiction, it's inspired by actual incidents that are well within reason in this dangerous and sometimes heartbreaking profession.
