Born to a middle-class family in central Illinois, author Behr lived the typical middle-class lifestyle, but always felt as if something were missing. When he became a plainclothes store detective hunting shoplifters, he suddenly realized his calling in life-to become a police officer. After passing the tests required to attend the police academy, Behr was eager to begin his journey into law enforcement and make a difference in the world. For the next twenty-nine years, he served as a rookie officer, an undercover narcotics detective, a midnight officer, and even as an acting sergeant in a politically charged atmosphere. "Uniform 133" also includes entertaining stories from Behr's career. From the antics at the academy to the tribulations of Internal Affairs investigations and stories from the street, Behr's autobiography serves as a telling testament to the truth behind the glamorized myth of being a police officer. | Uniform 133 by Behr, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
