"As a woman who worked as a federal law enforcement officer for 20 years in Miami, I couldn't put BEHIND HER MIAMI BADGE down till I read it all." Vicki Mellon, FBI Special Agen, Ret.

Daley, M.Ed, CEO/Founder radKIDS Personal Empowerment Safety Education Miami's vice cops, move over. There's a new sheriff in town, rather a feisty Florida Highway Patrol Trooper named Floy Turner, who juggles motherhood with fighting crime. With refreshing authenticity and transparency, Turner doesn't hold back as she tells her stranger-than-fiction, true-to-life anecdotes of what goes on behind the badge in drug-ridden 1980s Miami when cocaine was king and her town housed one of the major drug hubs in the country. Whether it's Turner's first night on patrol facing the barrel of a gun, the Bloodiest Day in FBI History, hilarious undercover assignments, conversing with infamous serial killer Aileen Wournos, personally and professionally experiencing the wrath of Hurricane Andrew, and fighting the Miami cocaine wars with the DEA, FBI, and FDLE, BEHIND HER MIAMI BADGE: UNDERCOVER, THE COCAINE WARS, AND LIFE IN THE FAST LANE is an action-packed page-turner that will bring tears to your eyes, either from laughing so hard at the humor or crying from the tragedies.

FLOY TURNER began her twenty-five-year career in law enforcement in Miami during the volatile cocaine-wars era as a trooper with the Florida Highway Patrol. After eleven years in this position, she served as a special agent with the elite Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) for the next fourteen years. She has been assigned to joint task forces at the international, federal, state, and local police levels, such as the 9/11 Counter Terrorism Task Force and the Belle Glade Prison Escape Task Force. These assignments have included complex investigations of serial homicides, kidnappings, missing children, child homicides, human-trafficking cases, and illegal narcotics smuggling cases. In 1993, she received the International Narcotic Enforcement Officer's Award and the Heroism Award, which led to her reenacting the apprehension of an armed bank robber on Real Stories of the Highway Patrol. As a FDLE Special Agent, Floy served as the Regional Crimes Against Children Coordinator in the Miami Region of Southeast Florida and was also a member of an Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, the Law Enforcement Against Child Harm (LEACH) Task Force, the Miami-Dade County and Broward County Child Death Review Boards, U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Human Trafficking Task Force, and Homeland Security Task Force. She assisted in the development of the human-trafficking curriculum for Basic Law Enforcement Training and Incentive Classes for Florida Police Officer's Standards and has been a guest speaker at many local, state, and federal training sessions, including the FBI's Women in Law Enforcement Conference in 2004. She was awarded the State Law Enforcement Officer of the Year at the Florida Missing Children's Day in 2004, for her criminal investigations that located and recovered multiple missing children who were reunited with their families. Prior to her retirement, Floy began working as a consultant for Fox Valley Technical College on the development and implementation of various training initiatives for the National AMBER Alert Training and Technical Assistance Program, U. S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs. She was responsible for coordinating local AMBER Alerts with the FDLE Missing Children Information Clearinghouse and established a Child Abduction Response Team (CART) for the South Florida Region.

She also continued to provide instruction in many AMBER Alert training courses until 2012. Floy was a member of the Northeast Florida Human Trafficking Task Force, and in 2010, the Organization of American States selected her to conduct human trafficking training at a conference for government officials in Belize. In 2011, she was recognized as Jacksonville's Justice Coalition's Citizen of the Year. She has also received authors' credits as a law enforcement consultant in two best-selling books.
