{"product_id":"the-naked-badge-true-police-experiences-stranger-than-fiction-9781426957635","title":"The Naked Badge: True Police Experiences: Stranger Than Fiction","description":"On a balmy April morning in 1954, James Moore was sworn in as a member of the Toledo Police Academy's twelfth cadet class and began what would eventually become a twenty-six-year career with a police force intent on fiercely protecting the citizens of its beloved city. \u003ci\u003eThe Naked Badge\u003c\/i\u003e shares powerful, hard-hitting anecdotes of the realities of Toledo, Ohio, law enforcement that took place from 1950s to the 1970s. With from-the-heart honesty that at times reads like fiction, Moore provides a compelling glimpse into a time when formal training was minimal and outdated; there were no such things as computers, portable radios, bulletproof vests, or air-conditioned vehicles; pay was minimal; and officers worked a forty-eight-hour week. While revealing the stark vulnerabilities of rookie patrolmen, Moore shares real-life cases that disclose his own failures and shortcomings as his career takes him from a patrolman assigned to walking beats in the toughest sections of the city to a veteran captain who prided himself on treating everyone fairly. \u003ci\u003eThe Naked Badge\u003c\/i\u003e offers an enlightening and entertaining look into the intriguing world of police work during a period of great change in America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-5823849\"\u003eJames B.
