Back by popular demand, former Nevada State trooper Steve Raabe shares this companion collection of stories concerning his career patrolling, investigating, and administering some of the most desolate and dangerous highways in the vast American West.
Honest and hilarious, Patrolling the Heart of the Silver State includes heart-hammering scenes—a fatal shootout, a revenge bombing, deadly car crashes—while also providing fresh insights into law enforcement practices such as accident reconstruction, speed detection with radar and airplanes, seatbelt laws, and LEO hiring practices.
In the six years since Raabe’s first book, animosity towards law enforcement officers has only grown, and so too has our collective need for frank stories like these that demonstrate the essential role that competent, ethical, and courageous officers play in our society every day.
