When "happily ever after" doesn't turn out like you planned ... there's still hope! Retired Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Detective Tania Owen is the spouse of Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Sergeant Steve Owen, murdered execution-style in October 2016 when he answered a burglary-in-progress call. Vickie Speed is the spouse of Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Detective Mitch Speed, who died from cancer in July 2018 as a result of exposure while on duty. Though the two women were acquainted prior to their husbands' deaths, God supernaturally brought them together and then drew them into a relationship often described like that of the Bible's Ruth and Naomi. Drawing strength from their shared faith in God, Tania and Vickie now provide wisdom and encouragement to other law enforcement officers and their families. In their inspiring book, After the Badge, they reveal the difficulties of being in law enforcement, including how both of their marriages were once almost destroyed-until each couple found the healing, forgiveness, and restoration that come only from the hand of our loving heavenly Father.

Life Behind the Badge is the real story behind law enforcement, written by a veteran police officer. Although similar to the life of a cop, this story has all the excitement of the chases and takedowns that Tinseltown emphasizes. Sergeant Doug Driver also shows you the struggle to be a cop in today's world of lawsuits, political correctness, and public scrutiny. The private life of a public servant can be hard. It's easier to take a criminal off the streets than it is to keep a marriage together. Harsh hours, low pay, stress, and the trauma of seeing the cold hard truths of life take their toll. But every day, in every town in America, men and women put on the badge and sacrifice a part of themselves in order to serve Justice. This is the story of one man's Life Behind the Badge.
