Description
Who lines up to have people try to shoot them, knife them, blow them up, and threaten them with bodily harm? Everyone who is part of the law enforcement family—that’s who. That includes Robert Phillips, who got his start as a sheriff’s officer in April 1998. When he reported for duty on his first day, the senior day-shift sergeant asked him if he was in the National Guard or the Reserves, and when he said no, he was told he’d be good man for the day shift. He wasn’t long on the job before an inmate—while trying to escape—put a knife to his throat. Another inmate distracted the potential escapee and Phillips was able to call for help. Craving more excitement, Phillips eventually became a “real” police officer. He wanted to take part in car chases, get shot at, go to robbery-in-progress calls, and make drug arrests. Get an insider’s view of what it’s like to belong to the law enforcement family with this no-holds-barred collection of Pig Tales.
