In this powerful expose of the harrowing problem of political
intervention upon law enforcement, a once prominent county sheriff
presents an eloquent account of what's wrong with law enforcement.
Johannes Spreen, sheriff of Oakland County, Michigan, for twelve
years, is upset. Based on the information he presents about the
obstacles presented by self-interested politicians and the media,
the rest of us ought to be, also.
The purpose of this book is to provide to future and present
sheriffs and other law enforcement executives information about the
pitfalls and pressures of politicians and the media, which make the
elected position of a sheriff increasingly difficult. Filled with
colorful characters, heroic deeds and despicable acts of crime, the
book details the fascinating history of the difficult job sheriffs
face.
Sheriff Spreen said that his theme was this: "In our history,
when a crime occurred, the sheriff rounded up the able-bodied men
of his county and pursued the evildoer and brought him to justice.
Today, we need a posse that can be rounded up and assist the
sheriff before the crime is committed and before the accident
occurs. The hope of tomorrow lies in the youth of today."
