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. The Naked Badge 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formal training was minimal and outdated; there were no such things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. The Naked Badge offers an enlightening and entertaining
look into the intriguing world of police work during a period of
great change in America.
