HEARTS BENEATH THE BADGE By Karen Solomon EDITORIAL REVIEW: It seems like everywhere you turn today, there are media accounts of all the wrong that is perceived in the law enforcement profession. Whether driven by sensationalism or other motives, the end result feels like a 24/7 assault on the people that have committed their lives to serving and protecting our communities. During my twenty-three years as a peace officer, I have witnessed so many acts of kindness and selflessness which are rarely acknowledged by the general public and mostly go unnoticed and undocumented. In 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....Karen Solomon is to be commended for making Hearts Beneath the Badge a reality. You should be commended for picking it up and reading it. --Doug Wyllie, Editor In Chief, PoliceOne Karen has obviously written this book from the heart, love and understanding resonate on every page. Any doubt youve ever had about whether or not police officers care about their jobs will be gone after reading this book. --Angel Wood, Founder, PoliceWives.org About the Author Karen Solomon is a graduate of Eckerd College and blogs as The Missing Niche.
