"The Badge, Stories and Tales from both Sides of the Law, by Chuck Klein, is a well written, entertaining and factual portrayal of life for both the cops and the bad guys in small town and suburban America. It's a great read and I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in true tales from both sides of the law." Cynthia Brown, Publisher & Editor, American Police Beat Magazine Author of Brave Hearts: Extraordinary Stories of Pride, Pain and Courage. "I have been licensed as a private investigator for 13 years in Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana and have found Chuck Klein's writing to be honest, informative and entertaining." Michael P Rolfes, CEO & Chief Investigator OFFICIAL INVESTIGATIONS & SECURITY SERVICES, INC., Cincinnati, OH "I deal with small town LEOs on a regular basis. Klein has captured the essence of what rural policing and investigating is all about." Doug Sinkking, Chief Investigator, Brown County, Ohio Prosecutor's Office "Having been a patrol officer in a very small mid-western town during the 80's and 90's, this collection of stories brings to mind many of my own experiences. This really IS what it was like in those days Finding yourself basically alone in sometimes very questionable and dangerous circumstances was a common occurrence. You learn very quickly to depend on your training and personal instincts to protect the public and yourself. "I especially found chapter eight, The Seventh Sense, to reflect my own personal feelings about what it means to be a law enforcement officer. Excellent A very good read " Detective Tom McKay Investigative Coordinator, Dearborn/Ohio County Prosecutor's Office Lawrenceburg, IN "Finally, great cop stories set in small town America. I'm so tired of reading about NYPD, LAPD, etc. This is the way is really was for so many LEOs in suburban and rural America. Written by a one who has walked the walk." Tom McDaniel, Chief of Police (ret.), Harrison, OH
