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.

So Forrest took his new feline friend home for a night. But when the little “trooper” clearly needed some more time to recoup, that night turned into two nights, a week, and eventually nineteen years. And so Trooper became a part of the Johnson family.

Book excerpt: A Trooper's Tale is the story about a young man whose childhood dream was to become a State Trooper. As he grew, the goal of teaching elementary through high school supplanted that earlier dream. We are taken through the author's early hardscrabble roots, in a home with no running water, chopping wood for heat in the winter and sub-zero visits to the outhouse. From High School graduation to auto assembly line work, the Author heads off to college to earn a teaching degree. After being laid off from his first teaching job, the old dream resurfaces and the Author gets accepted to the State Police Academy. Survives the grueling training, graduates, and is offered an assignment to a northern Midwest Michigan State Trooper outpost. This book tells the story of his experiences on the job back in the days during the turbulence of the post Vietnam era, the joy of serving, the challenges, the inner politics, the pressures, the suspense, and the heartbreaks of facing violence and death on a daily basis. From policing, to the more lucrative insurance business, back to teaching, A Trooper's Tale takes you on a ride inside the world of perpetrators and victims, villains and heroes in a culture that ultimately set the table for the controversy surrounding policing today in this post- George Floyd, Black Lives Matter, and the Thin Blue Line era that characterizes policing today.
