Behind and Beyond the Badge Volume 2 Book Signing

Presented by My Favorite Books at My Favorite Books

In Behind and Beyond the Badge – Volume II: Stories from the Village of First Responders with Cops, Firefighters, EMS, Dispatchers, Forensics, and Victim Advocates, award-winning author Donna Brown takes you to those places that few see. First responders have opened their hearts and shared what it’s truly like to do their jobs, their favorite parts of the job and their worst, and the impact it has on their families. They are human just like you, and each faces all that life has to offer, good and bad. The difference between their jobs and most other professions is that a first responder might not come home from work at the end of the day, a hard reality their families face. Each has lost a coworker who died in the line of duty, someone who many have also been a friend, or even a family member, because while others run from danger, they run to it. They do this for you.

Come meet Donna, get an autographed copy, open the cover, and meet some of these amazing people!

Donna Brown has spent much of her twenty-six-year career speaking to citizen groups in hope of educating and broadening minds about law enforcement. In retirement, she has continued this effort by collecting memoirs and biographies from members of law enforcement and first responders. Donna began her career in law enforcement when women were still relatively new to the profession. Like most new police officers, Donna began her career working the streets responding to calls for service. Eventually, she started training new recruits and turned that passion into teaching department-wide, at the academy, and to community groups. When she was promoted to sergeant, she remained on the streets and continued training new recruits. Career progression moved Donna to the Criminal Investigation Division where she spent fifteen years with ten years supervising the Homicide Unit. Donna received the Tallahassee Police Department's award for bravery and the inaugural Commander and Chief's Award for Excellence, which at that time was the department's award for Officer of the Year.
