catalog abstract "There are more than one million law enforcement officers in the United States. In this book, you will meet police officers from all parts of the country who take their oath seriously, and when confronted with life-threatening circumstances, have acted courageously. You'll read about a patrol officer who, after discovering a house on fire eary one morning, rescued its inhabitants before the fire department could arrive. Imagine the courage required by one state trooper who single-handedly brought five armed robbers to justice in Alaska's wilderness. One stalwart officer used his body to shield a homeless man from an angry armed mob while his partner helped fend off the attackers. Readers will meet one officer who distinguished himself throughout his incredible career with numerous feats of heroism. You'll be touched by the valor of the K-9 officers and their handlers. And of course, there is a powerful piece on police heroism on September 11th. Filled with stories about Americas finest officers, this book is a moving tribute to our country's unsung heroes.".
