Download or read book Trooper Down written by Marie Bartlett and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2012-04-03 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s a trooper’s worst nightmare. What begins as a routine patrol suddenly turns violent when someone pulls a weapon. Moments later, the trooper is down—wounded or dead. Then, like a swarm of angry bees, every other trooper on the force mobilizes to catch the suspect. Whether they’re issuing a ticket for speeding “just a little” over the limit or conducting an all-out manhunt, the people who have chosen this perilous and demanding profession are rarely revealed as vividly or candidly as they are here. In Trooper Down! Marie Bartlett uses her gripping hell-for-leather style to paint a fascinating portrait of one of the nation’s most elite law-enforcement agencies. In interviews and anecdotes, troopers relate stories of narrow misses, breathtaking confrontations, strange and hilarious encounters with various “crazies,” and, most heartbreakingly, working the wrecks—aiding the injured and dying in highway accidents—while troopers’ wives and widows tell of the heart-wrenching realities trooper families face. Through this remarkable book, we not only comprehend the life of a trooper, we are unforgettably there.

I watched as the motorcycles and I raced west. My radar showed me they were currently traveling at 148-mph. My foot had still not let up on the gas pedal as I followed the fleeing bikers. I listened to the radio as units started to report they were headed my way to assist. At 150-mph you cover a lot of highway in a very short time, and I was constantly scanning for any potential hazards. Glancing down, I noted the speedometer was showing my car was in excess of 150-mph. This meant I was covering a half mile every 12 seconds; or a little more than a mile every 24 seconds. As the biker hit the gravel road and tried to accelerate, the back tire started to kick out and the rider knew it was over. He slowed and raised a hand as he came to a stop. I got out and drew my sidearm.
