Author Paul Palmer first began idolizing highway patrolmen when he
was a boy living in Gila Bend, Arizona. As the patrolmen stopped by
to visit his father, Paul soon realized that these brave men were
true heroes. He had no idea then that one day he would work with
the same men he held in such high esteem. As he shares a
chronological glimpse into the life and career of an Arizona
patrolman, Paul begins with his first job in 1966 as a dispatcher
in Holbrook, Arizona, where he jokes his best view of the town was
in his rearview mirror. While providing amusing portrayals of the
men and women he worked with, Paul relies on slightly exaggerated
real-life experiences to depict the wonderful, wild, and wacky
people who made up the Arizona Highway Patrol. Paul shares his
experiences of the next 40 years, serving in both civilian and
sworn capacities and how he developed lasting friendships with the
heroes who put their lives on the line every day to ensure the
safety of others. The Arizona Highway Patrol as I Disremember It
provides an unforgettable look at the humorous side of law
enforcement through the eyes of one of its own.
